HOW TO RESET THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
Your vacuum features a circuit breaker to
protect the machine against damage due
to a surge in the electrical current.
Electrical surging can be a result of,
though not limited to, a jammed brushroll
(i.e. vacuuming up a sock or throw rug) or
a jammed motor fan.
Should your vacuum cleaner experience a
jammed brushroll with the circuit breaker
tripping, first press the on/off button to the
off position and unplug the unit. Inspect the
brushroll by removing the
bottom plate (see “How to Remove Bottom
Plate”) and remove any debris which may
be causing the jamming. Reinstall the bottom plate, reset the circuit breaker, plug in

Reset Button
power cord and turn unit on. If the unit fails
to turn on, return it to an authorized service center for service.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit and has a ground plug (see
illustration, right). Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance – if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

ON / OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch is located on the back side of the
nozzle to the left of the handle tube.
To turn the vacuum cleaner on, simply press the
switch with your foot. To stop the vacuum cleaner,
press the switch with your foot. Turn the vacuum
cleaner off before unplugging from the
electrical outlet.

AUTOMATIC CARPET HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Your upright vacuum cleaner is designed with an automatic, self-adjusting rug nozzle. No
manual adjustments are required. The height of the nozzle is instantly and automatically
adjusted to the carpet pile height. This self adjusting feature allows the rug nozzle to float
evenly over all carpet pile surfaces.

HOW TO CHANGE THE VACUUM BAG
Unzip outer cloth bag. Remove used bag by
depressing bag clip. (diagram 1). Discard
used bag.

HOW TO CHANGE THE BELT
Caution: First, unplug the vacuum cleaner
from the electrical outlet.
Turn the unit over and remove the bottom
plate. Remove the brushroll and the worn
or broken belt from the brushroll pulley and
the motor drive shaft. (diagram 3)

parts move smoothly. (diagram 4) Reinstall the bottom plate.
NOTE: To ensure maximum cleaning efficiency, the belt should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good condition. Check
to see if the belt is stretched, cracked, or if
excessive slipping has occurred. Replace if

HOW TO CHANGE POSITION

OF THE

BRUSHROLL

The Light Weight Vacuum features a two position brushroll
for money saving efficiency. The brushroll will be initially
installed in the "first" position. To place the brush roll in the
first position, the straight edge of the ends of the brushroll
should be facing up with the rounded edge inserted into the
vacuum.
When the bristles on the brushroll are worn and the vacuum
is not performing at 100% efficiency, the brushroll may be
moved into the "second" position, allowing closer contact of
the bristles to the floor surface. To place the brush roll in the
second position, the rounded edge of the ends of the
brushroll should be facing up with the straight edge inserted
into the vacuum.
