24. DISCONNECT THE CLEANER. When not in
use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories.
25. Clean and service the cleaner immediately after
each use to keep it in tiptop operating condition.
26. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep
the cleaner clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
27. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service cen-
ter. Don't use the cleaner if switch does not
turn it on and off.
28. For user servicing, the machine shall be dis-
mantled, cleaned and serviced, as far as is
reasonably practicable, without causing risk to
the maintenance staff and others.
29. The machine should be technically inspected
by the manufacturer, or an instructed person,
at least annually, consisting of, for example,
inspection of filters for damage, air tightness
of the machine and proper function of the
control mechanism.
30. When carrying out service or repair opera-
tions, all contaminated items which cannot be
satisfactorily cleaned are to be disposed of;
such items shall be disposed of in impervious
bags in accordance with any current regula-
tion for the disposal of such waste.
31. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
32. When not in use, always store the cleaner indoors.
