Cleaning The Power Heads; Maintaining The Power Head - Hitachi PV-XH3M Instruction Manual

Cleaning the power heads

Maintaining the power head

Perform maintenance when suction power is weak or when dirt becomes a concern.
We recommend periodic maintenance (about once a month).
Dust and debris stuck to the safety switch, rotary brush, brushes, wheels, air inlet, and rotating sections
might cause reductions in suction power or malfunctions.
Risk of injury
CAUTION
Before performing maintenance, detach the power head from the vacuum cleaner or extension
pipe and smart hose.

Risk of damage to the floor
If dust and debris gets tangled in the wheels, the wheels cannot rotate, which might cause
wear and tear and floor damage.
CAUTION
After extended use, the brushes, wheels, and rotary brush might wear down. Using the power
head while they are worn out might damage the floor. You cannot replace the brushes or
wheels by yourself. Please contact a Hitachi authorized service agent to have the brushes,
wheels, and rotary brush replaced as a set.
Note Do not subject the safety switch to excessive force. Failure to do so might cause damage.
