Maintenance

Familiarize yourself with these
home maintenance tasks as proper
use and care of your cleaner will
ensure continued cleaning
effectiveness.
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time.
Your cleaner will not operate effec-
tively if the filter bag is too full.
NOTE: All new carpet has loose
fibers which can fill the bag
quickly while vacuuming.
If you are using the cleaner on
new carpet, be sure to change the
filter bag often.
CAUTION: Very fine materials,
such as face powder or corn-
starch, may seal the filter bag and
cause it to burst even though it is
only partially full of dirt. When
cleaner is used to remove material
of this nature, change filter bag
often.
The bag door is designed
33
with a "break-away" fea-
ture which allows it to snap free if
it is pulled to the side.
To reattach, align hinges of door
with slots on bottom of bag stor-
age area, on the headlight lens.
Push door down to secure in
place.
