Check agitator shield
Because your cleaner picks up so well, we
strongly recommend you check for debris
accumulation under the agitator shield each
time you clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield will help
maintain your cleaner's excellent pick up
and suction. Remove debris as follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
2. Check for dirt accumulation by removing
bottom plate (Pig. 3-10), removing agitator
(Fig. 3-I1), and ]ifting agitator shield (Fig.
3-13).
3. Remove any debris and replace shield,
agitator and bottom
plate [Figs. 3-13 to
3-15).
