Getting Started
PART ONE
This section outlines general information you will need as
you begin using your new Sentria™ system. It includes information on:

Moving and Carrying Your System
Using the Handle Tilt Latch Lock
The Toe-Touch Control
Proper Power Nozzle Height
Using Tech Drive ® Power Assist
Installing/Changing Disposable Filter Bags
Emptying the Mini Em-Tor ® Collector
Understanding the Belt Lifter
Please read this section (as well as all other sections) carefully
before using your new Sentria home care system.

Getting Started
MOVING YOUR SYSTEM
Your Sentria system is equipped with Tech Drive ® power
assist. In order to push your unit with the motor OFF, the
Tech Drive Pedal (11) must be turned OFF (disengaged).
Turn Tech Drive power assist OFF by pushing down on the
gray "N" side (marked "N" for Neutral) of the Tech Drive N/
D Pedal. (See page 8 for additional information.)

CARRYING YOUR SYSTEM
NOTE: The Carrying Grip (18) is designed for convenience in
carrying your Sentria system. •

HANDLE TILT LATCH LOCK
The Handle Tilt Latch Lock (10) serves two purposes:
To allow you to lift the front of the Sentria system over
door thresholds or throw rugs. To do so, move the Tilt
Latch Lock towards the bag. By doing this, the handle
will only lower part way. This allows you to push down on the
locked handle and lift the front of the unit. >

1
2

To allow you to store your Sentria system in a
vertical position or carry it.

To do this, lower the handle to a horizontal position near the
floor. While pushing the handle down, move the Tilt Latch
Lock away from the bag to lock the handle down. You can
now stand the unit up onto its bumper and lean it against a
wall for storage.
This vertical position may also be useful in carrying the unit.
To lift the unit, use the Carrying Grip (18). •

TOE-TOUCH CONTROL
The Toe-Touch Control (8), (9), located over the front
wheel, raises and lowers the front of your Sentria system.
Step down on the Toe-Touch Control Bottom Pedal (9) to raise
the front. •

/!\ CAUTION:

Never unlock the Handle Tilt Latch without holding on to the handle. The
handle is spring-loaded and could quickly pivot upward when unlatched.
7

Getting Started
POWER NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
When using the Power Nozzle (25), it is important to adjust
the height properly. Start by pressing the Toe-Touch Control
Bottom Pedal (9) all the way down, raising the front of your
system all the way up.
The Toe-Touch Control adjusts the Power Nozzle to seven
different heights. The highest four positions are used for attaching accessories. Positions #1-3 are used for carpet and floor
cleaning. Positions #1-3 are indicated when the number shows
directly in front of the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal (8).
Turn the unit on and press the Toe-Touch Control upper
pedal 4 times (one notch at a time) until you see the #3 in
front of the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal. You are now at
the HIGHEST floor cleaning position used for high-pile and
plush carpets.
Press one more notch down for the MEDIUM position
(until you see the #2 in front of the Toe-Touch Control Upper
Pedal.) This is the most widely used position for all-type
carpets. Push one more notch down for LOW (until you see
the #1 in front of the Toe-Touch Control upper pedal). This is
the lowest position for low pile carpet and hard floor cleaning.
NOTE: When finished vacuuming, press the Toe-Touch
Control Bottom Pedal all the way down to move your
Sentria system. •

TECH DRIVE ® POWER ASSIST
Your new Sentria system is equipped with Tech Drive power
assist. This innovative feature eliminates most of the effort
required to move your Sentria system back and forth. •

TURNING TECH DRIVE POWER ASSIST
ON (DRIVE)
To engage Tech Drive power assist push down the red "D"
side (marked "D" for Drive) of the Tech Drive N/D Pedal (12)
located just below the Power Switch. (13)
You may use your Sentria system without Tech Drive power
assist if desired. Simply put the Tech Drive pedal in Neutral. •

/!\ IMPORTANT:

To avoid possible damage to soft tiles or marking of waxed and
finished non-carpeted floors, disengage the Tech Drive pedal.
8

Getting Started
TURNING TECH DRIVE POWER ASSIST
OFF (NEUTRAL)
To move your Sentria™ system with the motor OFF or to
vacuum without power assist, Tech Drive power assist must
be put in Neutral.
To place Tech Drive power assist in Neutral, push down the
gray "N" side (marked "N" for Neutral) of the Tech Drive
N/D Pedal (11). •

INSTALLING/CHANGING DISPOSABLE
FILTER BAGS
A Disposable Filter Bag must be installed before you begin
vacuuming.

To install a new Disposable Filter Bag, unzip the Outer
Permanent Bag (1) and pull out the Disposable Filter
Bag along with the Top Adaptor (5). >

When necessary, remove the used Disposable Filter Bag.
NOTE: Always replace the Disposable Filter Bag
when dirt reaches the "FULL" line on the bag. Failure
to do so will affect performance.

From the rear of the Disposable Bag, grasp the cardboard
faceplate. Holding the Top Adaptor steady, rotate the cardboard
faceplate to the left (counter-clockwise). When the lock tabs on
the Top Adaptor align with the slots in the cardboard faceplate,
gently pull the bag off. >

To install a new Disposable Filter Bag, grasp the cardboard faceplate from the rear of the Disposable Filter
bag. Align the slots in the cardboard faceplate on the
Disposable Filter Bag with the lock tabs on the Top Adaptor.
Then push the Top Adaptor into the bag opening.

Holding the Top Adaptor steady, rotate the cardboard faceplate
to the right (clockwise) to secure the Disposable Filter Bag.
NOTE: To avoid air leaks, make sure the cardboard faceplate
is securely positioned up against the flat portion of the Top
Adaptor. >

/!\ CAUTION:

Before changing the Disposable Filter Bag, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet and be sure that the motor and fan have stopped.
9

Getting Started
BAG SUPPORT STRAP

Check to make sure the Bag Support Strap (4)is connected to the Top Adaptor (5). The Bag Support Strap
provides the support required for proper operation of
the Disposable Filter Bag.

If it is not connected, thread the strap through the small hole
of the Top Adaptor. Then place the hole in the strap over the
stud on the Top Adaptor.
Finally, insert the adaptor and new filter bag into the Outer
Permanent Bag (1)and close the zipper completely for
maximum performance.
NOTE: In order for the Filtration System to perform effectively,
use only Kirby® Micron Magic ® HEPA Filtration Bags. If the
outside bag is torn or damaged, please replace immediately. •

EMPTYING THE MINI EM-TOR ® COLLECTOR
The Mini Em-Tor (6) collector is designed to collect large,
heavy particles which can be emptied by removing the Mini
Em-Tor collector.

To remove, grasp the Mini Em-Tor collector in the
handhold provided and rotate it away from the body of
the system as far as it will go, then lift it off.

The top of the bag is released from the handle by pressing the
Bag Release Button (16). After removing the Mini Em-Tor collector and the entire Bag Assembly, position the front opening
of the Mini Em-Tor collector over a newspaper and shake it to
remove the particles. >

To replace the Mini Em-Tor collector, re-attach the entire
Bag Assembly by inserting the Bag Latch Tab (2)at the top
of the bag into the slot under the Bag Release Button (16).

Finally, line up the raised indicator arrow of the Mini Em-Tor
collector with the indicator arrow on the Air Exhaust Port (19).
Rotate the Mini Em-Tor collector towards the Sentria system
and lock it in place.
NOTE: The Mini Em-Tor collector must be securely locked
in place or the unit will not operate. •

USING THE BELT LIFTER
The Belt Lifter (20) on your Sentria system is used for two
purposes:
1) To engage or disengage the Brush Roll. When the Brush Roll
is disengaged, the Sentria system can be used as a straight suction cleaner (page 15), and;
2) To allow removal of the Power Nozzle when converting
your Sentria system for use with various attachments and
optional accessories.
To avoid damaging the belt, turn the Sentria system OFF
before using the Belt Lifter. >

/!\ CAUTION:

Do not pick up heavy objects, such as coins, screws, rocks or similar
objects. This may damage the fan.
10

Getting Started
USING THE BELT LIFTER (cont)

To use the Belt Lifter, you must first raise the Headlight
Hood (21). >

Flip out the handle on the Belt Lifter (20). Use it to turn
the Belt Lifter fully to the left (counter-clockwise) until
it stops and the red arrows line up. This stretches the
belt and lifts it off the motor shaft. Return the handle on the
Belt Lifter to its closed position.
If you are using your Sentria™ system as a straight suction
cleaner, simply lower the Headlight Hood. The Brush Roll is
now disengaged and will not rotate when the power switch is
turned ON. >

The belt will be stretched to the top of the nozzle as
shown. >

To re-engage the belt so the Brush Roll rotates, simply
raise the Headlight Hood and use the handle to turn the
Belt Lifter fully to the right (clockwise) until the green
arrows line up. Then lower the Headlight Hood.

The Brash Roll will now rotate when the Power Switch is
turned ON.
NOTE: The belt should not be stretched when stored for
an extended period. Make sure the green arrows line up
for storage. >

Your Sentria system is equipped with a Brush Roll
Performance Indicator Light (7), located on the top
right side of the Power Nozzle. The purpose of this
light is to show if the Brush Roll is rotating properly.

If the Brush Roll Indicator Light flashes intermittently or
does not come on when using the Power Nozzle, the Brush
Roll Belt may not be working properly. Either the Belt is not
engaged or may need to be replaced.
To replace the Brush Roll Belt, also called the Power Nozzle
Belt, see Page 55. •
11

Upright & Portable Cleaner
PART TWO
Your Sentria™ home care system is extremely versatile.
In this section, we will discuss the following:

Upright Cord Management
Using your Sentria System as an
Upright Cleaner
Using your Upright as a Straight
Suction Cleaner
Cleaning Hard-Surface Floors
Using your Sentria System as a
Portable Cleaner
Cleaning Mattresses and Carpeted Stairs

Upright & Portable Cleaner
UPRIGHT CORD MANAGEMENT
The Sentria system Upright handle incorporates a series of
hooks and fasteners to keep the cord off the floor and attached
to the upright handle for your convenience.

When using your Sentria system as an upright, snap
the power cord into the two cord holders located on the
back of the handle. >

With the Upper Cord Hook in the up or 12 o'clock
position, route the cord toward the rear of the unit and
slide the cord in to the c-shaped holder on the Upper
Cord Hook. The cord can now be wrapped around the Upper
and Lower Cord Hooks for storage. To quick-release the
cord for use, rotate the Upper Cord Hook down to the 6
o'clock position. The c-shaped holder is designed to hold the
cord securely in place and prevent the first loop from dropping to the floor.
NOTE: The cord can only be inserted or removed from the
c-shaped holder when the Upper Cord Hook is in the 12
o'clock position. •

Upright & Portable Cleaner
THE UPRIGHT CLEANER
Before you begin vacuuming, it's important to have the Power
Nozzle (25) adjusted to the proper height setting. This gives you
the most efficient cleaning action. Lowering the Power Nozzle
too far prevents proper cleaning and shortens belt life.
The proper height setting can be achieved by doing
the following: >

Before you turn the Sentria™ system ON, raise the
Power Nozzle by stepping on the Toe Touch Control
Bottom Pedal (9) all the way down. >

Turn the Sentria system ON by pressing the Power
Switch (13). >

Press the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal 4 times.
You are now at the HIGHEST floor cleaning position
(indicated by the #3 showing in front of the Toe-Touch
Control Upper Pedal). Press the pedal again for medium
carpets (indicated by the #2) and again for low pile carpets
(indicated by the #1.) >

Upright & Portable Cleaner

If desired, engage Tech Drive® power assist by
pushing down the red "D" side (marked "D" for Drive)
of the Tech Drive N/D Pedal (12) located just below the
Power Switch (13). >

To turn your Sentria™ system OFF, press the ToeTouch 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. •

STRAIGHT SUCTION CLEANER
Straight Suction Cleaning allows you to vacuum hard floors,
throw rugs and delicate carpets without use of the Brush Roll.
NOTE: When using Straight Suction Cleaning without the Hard
Floor Pad, either on carpets or bare floors, lower the nozzle as
close as possible to the floor without touching the floor.

With the Sentria system turned OFF, raise the
Headlight Hood (21). >

Flip out the handle 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 (see page 10). Return
the handle on the Belt Lifter to its closed position.

Then lower the Headlight Hood.
The Brush Roll is now disengaged and your Sentria system
will operate as a Straight Suction Cleaner. •

/!\ NOTICE:

Tech Drive pedal must be in neutral when using the cleaner on hard
surface floors.
15

Upright & Portable Cleaner
THE HARD FLOOR PAD (optional)
By attaching the optional Hard Floor Pad to your Sentria™,
system you may dust bare floors. While the unit is turned
OFF, raise the Power Nozzle (25) as far as it will go by pressing the Toe-Touch Control Bottom Pedal (9). Attach the
Hard Floor Pad onto the nozzle opening using the spring
clips on the plate. Then lower the Power Nozzle by pressing
the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal (8) one notch at a time
until the bristles touch the floor.
NOTE: The Hard Floor Pad should only be used when the
unit is in the Straight Suction Cleaner mode. •

PORTABLE CLEANER SET-UP
Besides being a remarkable Upright Cleaner, the Sentria system can easily be converted into a portable cleaner for mattresses and carpeted stairs.

To convert your Sentria system to a Portable Cleaner,
make sure the unit is turned OFF, unplugged, and the
Tech Drive ® pedal is in neutral.

Then release the Outer Permanent Bag Top from the Bag
Support by pressing the Bag Release Button (16) and sliding
the bag top off. >

/!\ CAUTION:

Remove the cord from the handle. With the Upright
Handle (17) in the vertical position, push the Handle
Release Button (14), located at the base of the handle,
and pull the handle straight up and out of the slot.
(Bag not shown for clarity.) >

Insert the Portable Handle (15) into the slot where the
Upright Handle was connected. Push the Portable
Handle into the slot until it snaps into place. >

Before installing the Hard Floor Pad, turn unit OFF, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet and be sure the motor and nozzle brush have stopped.
16

Upright & Portable Cleaner
PORTABLE CLEANER SET-UP (cont)

Bend the Filtration Bag Assembly (1) in half and insert
the Bag Latch Tab (2) into the slot on the Portable
Handle until it snaps into place.

You are now ready for portable power cleaning. •
NOTE: Do not use portable mode on upholstered furniture.

CARPETED STAIRS
Place your Sentria™ system on one of the carpeted steps, while
supporting the rear. Turn the unit on after it is in place and make
sure the Tech Drive® pedal is in the Neutral position.
Roll the cleaner back and forth so that the Brush Roll
agitates the carpeting and loosens the dirt. •

MATTRESS CLEANING
Cleaning mattress surfaces is done the same as carpeted
stairs, except that you need to disengage the Brush Roll. (If
your mattress has tufted buttons on the surface, the Brush
Roll could pull them loose.)
NOTE: Do not carry the portable unit with the motor on. Place
the unit on the surface you wish to clean and then turn the unit
on. Turn the unit off to move it to a new location.

For straight suction cleaning, raise the Headlight Hood (21)
and flip out the handle 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. This will stop the Brush Roll
from turning.
Return the handle on the Belt Lifter to its closed position
and lower the Headlight Hood. Use the Toe-Touch Control
to adjust the Power Nozzle to its lowest setting. •

/!\ CAUTION:

To reduce risk of injury in the portable mode, keep hair and loose clothing
away from the Sentria system while in operation.
Also make sure Tech Drive ® pedal is in the neutral position when
vacuuming stairs and mattresses. In addition, the Brush Roll should
be disengaged when vacuuming mattresses.
17

control of the Handi-Butler tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep hair, clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving
parts. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Restrain long hair.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work whenever practical. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. Allow at least 6 inches
between your hand and the spinning tool.

Operating/Maintenance Tips
PART FIVE

Your Kirby ® Sentria™ system is a highly sophisticated
home maintenance system. As with most modern appliances,
it requires a modest degree of routine maintenance to keep
it operating efficiently. This section of the Owner's Manual
presents tips on operating and maintaining your Sentria system. In this section, we will discuss the following:

Changing the Power Nozzle Belt
Adjusting the Brush Roll for Optimum
Performance
Miscellaneous Parts Replacement
Helpful Answers to Questions/
Troubleshooting

Operating/Maintenance Tips
CHANGING THE POWER NOZZLE BELT
After extended use, the Power Nozzle Belt on your Sentria™
system may become stretched and worn causing the belt to
slip.(See page 11 - Brush Roll Performance Indicator Light.) If
this condition exists, simply replace the old belt with a new one.
NOTE: Use only approved Kirby ® belts.
To change the belt, remove the nozzle from the Sentria
system. Then release the belt tension by using the handle on the Belt Lifter (20) to turn it all the way to the
right (clockwise) until the green arrows line up. >

Unlock the Rug Plate (26) by unhooking the two latches
on the rear of the nozzle. >

Pull on the rear edge of the Rug Plate to remove from
the nozzle.
Note the Brush Roll Bristle Height Adjustment setting
(1, 2, or 3).

Lift out the Belt and Brush Roll. >

Slide off the old belt and replace with a new one.

Operating/Maintenance Tips
CHANGING THE POWER NOZZLE BELT (cont)
Make sure the Brash Roll Bristle Height Adjustment
setting (1, 2, or 3) is the same on both ends as when the
brush was removed. See below for discussion of the
Brush Roll Bristle Height Adjustment (1, 2, or 3). Place the
belt and Brush Roll back into the nozzle. One of the plastic
Brush Roll ends is larger than the other, thus the Brush Roll
will only fit in the nozzle one way.

Then center the belt on the Brush. >

Replace the Rug Plate by placing it on the front of the
bumper first and then pulling it over the bumper on
the rear of the Power Nozzle (25). Secure the Rug Plate
using the two latches that hold it in place. >

Using the handle on the Belt Lifter (20), turn it to the
left (counter-clockwise) until the red arrows line up.
This will stretch the belt in preparation for returning
the nozzle to the Sentria™ system.

Now you are ready to re-attach the Power Nozzle and
re-engage the belt. •

ADJUSTING THE BRUSH ROLL HEIGHT
The Brush Roll bristles wear away after long periods of use.
This reduces cleaning efficiency.
However, the ends of the Brush Roll are adjustable, so you can
extend the bristles, allowing the brush to work like new again.
The Brush Roll on a new Sentria™ system has three settings:
one notch, two notches and three notches. The greater the number of notches, the farther the bristles are extended. Use the one
notch (1) setting for delicate carpeting such as berber. Use the
two-notch (2) and three-notch (3) settings to extend the bristles
to compensate for bristle wear. >

Operating/Maintenance Tips
ADJUSTING THE BRUSH ROLL HEIGHT (cont)

Remove the Power Nozzle (25) from the Sentria system. >

Release the belt tension by using the handle on
the Belt Lifter (20) to turn it all the way to the right
(clockwise) until the green arrows line up.

Unlock the two latches on the rear of the Power Nozzle to
remove the Rug Plate (26).
Then lift the brush out of the nozzle. >

Rotate the plastic Brash Roll ends to the 1,2 or 3-notch
settings as desired. The greater the number of notches,
the farther the bristles are extended.

When viewed from the top, rotate the plastic Brush Roll ends
to the side with the appropriate number of notches visible.
Make sure both plastic Brush Roll ends are set to the same
number of notches. >

Place the brush back into the nozzle making sure both
plastic Brush Roll ends are set to the same number of
notches (1, 2, or 3).

Replace the Rug Plate by placing it on the front of the bumper first and then pulling it over the bumper on rear of Power
Nozzle (25). Secure the Rug Plate using the two latches that
hold it in place.
Using the handle, hook the belt onto the Belt Lifter (20) and
turn the Belt Lifter to the left (counter-clockwise) until the
red arrows line up. This will stretch the belt in preparation
for returning the nozzle to the Sentria™ system. •

SERVICE TIP:

Keep the entire Brush Roll and belt track clear of lint, string,
hair and other fibers. This will allow the Brush Roll to perform
to its fullest potential.

Operating/Maintenance Tips
Miscellaneous Parts Replacement
WHEEL WEAR/ REPLACEMENT
Kirby® wheels are made with a pliable tread that is designed
to prevent carpet wear and prevent damage to non-carpeted
floors. After extended periods of use, the tread on the wheels
will wear out and the wheels will need to be replaced.
Check wheel tread occasionally to determine if the wheels
need to be replaced. The tread material is lighter in color
than the plastic wheel itself. If any of the darker plastic
wheel is showing through the tread, the wheels need to be
replaced. The wheels are not user-replaceable. Contact your
nearest authorized Kirby Service Center for prompt, courteous wheel replacement. •

CORD REPLACEMENT
If the electrical cord connecting the Sentria™ system to the
outlet becomes cut or frayed over time, DO NOT USE THE
UNIT. Contact your authorized Kirby Service Center immediately for replacement.
Avoid damage to your cord by being careful not to run over it
with your Sentria system. Also, unplug your unit by grasping
the plug at the end of the cord rather than pulling on the cord
itself. •

HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT
If one or more of the three LED lights in your Headlight
Assembly burn out, please contact your authorized Kirby ®
Distributor for replacement. •

Operating/Maintenance Tips
Questions and Answers/Troubleshooting

Q WHAT IS A DOUBLE-INSULATED MACHINE? (Servicing of double-insulated appliances)
A In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is necessary on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the appliance. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
"DOUBLE-INSULATED" (U.S.A. and Canada). The symbol • (square within a square) may
also be marked on the appliance.
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system
and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for this double-insulated Sentria™ model must be genuine Kirby®
parts for maintenance of safety and protection of warranty.
Q WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE MOTOR DOES NOT RUN WHEN I TURN
THE Sentria SYSTEM ON?
A Many service calls are unnecessary. Checking a few simple things can save a lot of cost,
time and trouble. Whenever your Sentria system does not perform properly, make these
checks first before calling authorized service personnel.
IF THE MOTOR DOES NOT RUN WHEN THE MOTOR ON-OFF SWITCH IS PUSHED:
1. Make sure the Power Cord is plugged into an outlet and that the outlet has power.
(Check for a blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or power company trouble.)
2. Make sure the cord plug is fully inserted into the unit.
3. Look for breaks in the Power Cord insulation. If the cord is damaged, get a new one.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT. Use only a genuine Kirby Power Cord. Do not use
standard extension cords.
4. Make sure that an attachment or accessory is properly mounted on the front of the
Power Plant. The unit will not run without the Power Nozzle(25), Hose Coupling,
Air Intake Guard or Accessory Brush Nozzle in place.
5. The unit will not operate without either a Filtration Bag Assembly/ Mini Em-Tor® collector (6),
Attachment Hose or Carpet Shampoo Tank properly installed on the Air Exhaust Port (19).
6. The Filtration Bag Assembly/Mini Em-Tor collector, Attachment Hose or Carpet Shampoo
Tank must "click" firmly into place for the unit to operate. If the fitting is too tight and
you have difficulty installing the above, apply a small drop of water to the gasket to
reduce friction and ease installation.
Q WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE Sentria SYSTEM DOES NOT PICK UP LINT
OR DIRT ON THE CARPET?
A 1. Check to see if the Brush Roll is turning, when the Sentria system is running.
2. If the Brush Roll is not turning freely, the belt is slipping, broken or not on the Motor Shaft (23).
3. If the belt is not on the Motor Shaft (23), remove the nozzle and follow the instructions on
pages 11. See page 56 for bristle extension.
4. If the belt is in good condition and the brush is running, check for bristle wear and replace
Brush Roll, if necessary.
To check for wear, turn the Power Nozzle (25) over and place a ruler against the metal Rug
Plate. If the bristles are below or just touching the ruler, the Brush Roll should be
adjusted. See page 56 for details.
5. Make sure that the nozzle height is adjusted to place the brush in contact with the carpet.
Use the Toe-Touch Control to adjust as appropriate. See page 8.
6. Check the bag to see if it is full.
7. Check the fill tube for clogging.

Operating/Maintenance Tips
Questions and Answers/Trouble shooting

Q I SMELL BURNING RUBBER WHEN I USE MY Sentria™ SYSTEM
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A 1. Check to see if the Brash Roll is turning when the Sentria system is running. If not, then
the Brush Roll may be stalled due to threads around the ends. Remove Brush Roll and
make sure it rotates freely at both ends. (See page 54.)
2. The belt may not be fully engaged (or disengaged). Make sure the green arrows or red
arrows on the Belt Lifter (20) match up fully.
3. If a slipping belt has deposited a black residue on the Motor Shaft (23), remove it gently
using steel wool or sandpaper and replace the belt.
Q HOW DO I VACUUM MY MATTRESS?
A 1. Remove all bedding, including mattress cover, from the mattress.
2. Convert your upright Sentria system to a Portable Cleaner. See "Portable Cleaning"
on page 16.
3. Place Portable Cleaner on the mattress.
4. Disengage Tech Drive ® power assist by pressing the gray "N" side (marked "N" for
Neutral) of the N/D Pedal (11).
5. Disengage the Brush Roll.
6. Plug in your Sentria system and turn it ON.
7. Lower the Power Nozzle by pressing the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal (8) until it is
all the way down.
8. Begin vacuuming.
Q HOW DO I VACUUM MY CARPETED STAIRS?
A There are several different ways. You can use:
• the Portable Cleaner. (See page 16.)
• the Zippbrush. (See page 45.)
• or the Upholstery Nozzle. (See page 21.)
Q HOW DO I CLEAN UNDER MY BED?
A Your Sentria system can be used in the canister mode (see page 19) with the Surface
Nozzle to vacuum under the bed and other low furniture.

IMPORTANT: Always exercise caution when vacuuming stairways.

Operating/Maintenance Tips
Questions and Answers/Troubleshooting

Q HOW DO I VACUUM MY UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE?
A 1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.) (Do not use Power Nozzle (25) on furniture.)
2. Use the Attachment Hose with or without the following attachments:
• the Upholstery Nozzle.
• the Crevice Tool with the brush removed. (Use in between seat cushions and in crevices.)
• the optional Zippbrush.
The optional Zippbrush uses rotating brushes to agitate fibers and remove imbedded dirt and
pet hair from the fabric. When using the Zippbrush, move it slowly from side to side across
surface. Do not apply heavy pressure as it will slow the brush action. (If the brush becomes
jammed and stops turning, simply rotate the inner rotating brush clockwise to free it up and let
go. It should then resume turning.)
To clean hard-to-reach upholstery buttons, use narrow tip of the Zippbrush, located on the side
opposite the hose, to work the dirt loose. (For additional information on the use and maintenance
of the optional Zippbrush, see the Zippbrush section on page 45).
Q HOW DO I CLEAN MY WALLS AND CEILING?
A 1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. Attach one or two Extension Tubes to the Attachment Hose by inserting the hose into the
Extension Tube opening and twisting to lock in place.
3. Attach the Suction Control Grip onto the end of the Extension Tube.
4. Attach the Wall & Ceiling Brush to the end of the Suction Control Grip. The Suction
Control Grip not only allows you to regulate airflow, it also allows you to adjust the Wall
& Ceiling Brush to the proper angles for mantles, window ledges, walls and ceilings.
Q HOW DO I CLEAN MY CAR ?
A Your Sentria™ system comes equipped with a range of tools to help you clean your car.
In addition, you may also use the optional Zippbrush for vacuuming automobile upholstery,
carpeting, floor mats and trunks. (See Zippbrush section on page 45 for Zippbrush use and
maintenance information.)
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. You can use the end of the Attachment Hose for straight suction or attach any one of
a variety of tools.
3. We suggest using the Upholstery Nozzle (or optional Zippbrush) to clean the seats, areas
under the seats and the trunk.
4. Use the Crevice Tool (with or without the small Crevice Tool brush end) for small,
hard-to-reach areas, such as the area between the windshield and dash and the area
between the seats.
5. Use the Duster Brush to clean the instrument panel.
6. Use the Massage Cup to pick up gravel and heavy particles on floor mats and carpeting.

Operating/Maintenance Tips
Questions

and Answers/Troubleshooting

Q HOW DO I CLEAN OTHER HOME FURNISHINGS?
A Books and Bookcases:
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. Attach the Duster Brush to the end of the Attachment Hose and "dust" the books and bookcase.
3. Other options include using an Extension Tube with the Duster Brash or the Wall &
Ceiling Brush to dust the bookcase top.
Lampshades and Pictures:
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. Attach the Duster Brush to the Suction Control Grip. Then connect the grip to the Attachment
Hose. Test the airflow by regulating the Suction Control Valve on the Suction Control Grip
before you dust your lampshades. Dust glass-covered artwork and picture frames.
Stereos and Computers:
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. Attach the Duster Brush to the Suction Control Grip. Then connect the grip to the
Attachment Hose. Test the air-flow by regulating the Suction Control Valve on the Suction
Control Grip before you dust your home electronics.
3. Connect the Inflator/Deflator tool to the end of the Attachment Hose to dust between the
keys on a computer key board, faceplates on electronic gear and other hard-to-reach
small spaces.
Wicker Furniture and Baskets:
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. Attach the Duster Brush to the end of the Attachment Hose. Your Duster Brush works well
between cracks and crevices on wicker and other irregular surfaces.
Drapes and Blinds:
1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.)
2. For drapes, attach one or two Extension Tubes to the Attachment Hose. Connect the
Suction Control Grip to the Extension Tube and then connect the Upholstery Nozzle (with
the faceplate attached). Test the air-flow by regulating the Suction Control Valve on the
Suction Control Grip before you dust your drapes and blinds.
The Suction Control Valve on the Suction Control Grip regulates airflow and prevents you
from pulling the drapes off the curtain rods.
For blinds, follow a similar procedure using the Duster Brash instead of the Upholstery
Nozzle. If using the Suction Control Grip, make sure to completely close the Suction Control
Valve to maintain maximum airflow.
Q WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY FILTER BAG SMELLS?
A Change it. Replace the disposable bag when the dirt reaches the fill line. Do not overfill.
1. You may also purchase Odorific® II, an odorizer that leaves your room smelling clean and
fresh. Place a few drops on a cottonball and toss it in the Outer Permanent Bag. For a list
of other fine Kirby ® products, (see page 64 and 65.)
