Converting To A Canister Cleaner/Installing The Attachment Hose - Kirby Sentria Owner's Manual

Canister Cleaner & Attachments
/!\ CAUTION:
CONVERTING TO A CANISTER CLEANER/
INSTALLING THE ATTACHMENT HOSE
When using different cleaning attachments, the Attachment
Hose is connected to the front of the cleaner in place of the
Power Nozzle (25).
NOTE: When connecting the Attachment Hose, you may
choose between the Upright Handle (17) or the Portable
Handle (15). To install the Portable Handle, see page 16.
1 To install the Attachment Hose, you must first convert
to a Canister by removing the Power Nozzle. To do so,
press the Toe-Touch Control Bottom Pedal (9) all the
way down until nozzle is fully raised. Disengage Tech Drive
power assist by stepping on the gray "N" side (marked "N" for
Neutral) of the Tech Drive N/D Pedal (11). Turn the Sentria
system OFF by pressing the Power Switch (13) and then
unplugging. >
Raise the Headlight Hood (21) and flip out the handle
2
on the Belt Lifter (20). Use it to turn the Belt Lifter all
the way to the left (counter-clockwise) until the red -
arrows line up.
Unlock the Power Nozzle by turning the Accessory Lock
3
(22) all the way to the left (counter-clockwise). The Power
Nozzle should tip forward when it is released. Lift the
nozzle away from the Sentria system. >
At the connector end of the Attachment Hose, you will
4
notice two hooks. Place the hooks over the ends of the
Attaching Bar (24), then push the opening of the hose
up against the Sentria system. >
5
Lock the Attachment Hose Connector in place by
turning the Accessory Lock (22) all the way to the
right (clockwise). (Accessory Lock will clamp the
Attachment Hose to the unit.)
With the Attachment Hose in place, the unit will
automatically adjust to high speed for hose operation.
NOTE: If the Sentria system will not run when the Power
Switch is ON, see page 59. •
In normal operation, friction between the belt and the metal motor
shaft may cause the metal motor shaft to become hot to the touch.
