MAINTENANCE
13. If there is a blockage hero, clean it out and then
reassemble the Front Inspection Plate.
If you do not find any blockage in this area, and/or the
machine shuts itself off or the loss of suction persists, a
more detailed inspection will be necessary as follows:
14. Unplug the machine.
15. Press in the Reset Button if the Overload Protection
System has once again shut the machine down.
(Figure 19)
16. Place the machine in its Upright Storage Position.
(Figure 1)
17. Remove the Collection Bin.
18. Unscrew the two screws which are located in the bumper
at the roar of the Lower Base Cover. (Figure 19)
19. Pivot the Lower Base Cover toward the front to disengage
the 5 cover locking tabs, then lift the Lower Base Cover
away,
20. Remove any accumulated dirt or threads from the brush
and/or remove any large objects from this area that may
have jammed the brush. Also, check that the Rotary Valve
Inlet is not clogged with dirt or objects. (Figure 22)
21. Check the belt to be sure that it is in good condition. A
stretched or faulty belt will prevent the machine from
operating properly.
22. Replace Cover by hooking all 5 Cover lock tabs into the 5
tab slots of the base Assembly. (Figure 22)
NOTE: Height Adjustment Dial must be positioned as
shown in Figure 22 to allow easy assembly of cover.
23. When all tabs are engaged, swing the Cover into place.
24. With the Cover in place, pull the top edge of the Bumper
forward to check that all 5 tabs are still engaged. Refasten
the screws. Do not over tighten.
If the machine still does not start, or if you still experience a
loss of suction power, then take it to an authorized Sears
Service Center for repair by an Authorized Service
Technician.
25. If there is little or no suction at the end of the Wand, detach
the Wand from the Hose. (Figure 14, page 7) Ensure that
the Hose and Wand are both clear.
