OPERATION

How to Attach the Handle to the Vacuum Cleaner

The vacuum cleaner and the handle are packed separately.

1. After first removing the handle screw, insert the handle into the hole on top of the vacuum cleaner. (Fig. 1)
2. Line up the small hole on the handle with the small hole on the vacuum cleaner and insert the screw. Make sure the screw is secured tightly.

Connect the Power Cord

Attach up to (2) 30’, 16/3 SJT extension cords (provided) to the pigtail on the vacuum. Ensure all cord connections are made using the cord lock system(s) (Fig. 2) that come with the vacuum.

ON/OFF Switch

1. To turn the vacuum on, push the switch located at the rear of the unit to the ( I ) position. (Fig. 3)
2. To turn the vacuum off, push the switch to the ( O ) position.

NOTE: The brush motor is only activated when the handle is moved back to the working position. The handle on this vacuum cleaner can be set to one of three positions – upright, working, or low.

How to Adjust the Handle

1. To release the handle, step on the left rear corner of the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 1).
2. Upright position – for when cleaning tools are being used or for storage (Fig. 2). Handle locks in this position.
3. Working position – for normal cleaning (Fig. 3).
4. Low position – for cleaning under furniture (Fig. 4).

Brush Head Adjustment

Your Powr-Flite upright vacuum cleaner is designed with a self-adjusting brush head. No manual adjustments are required. The height of the brush head is instantly adjusted to carpet pile height. This self-adjusting feature allows the brush head to float evenly over all carpet pile surfaces.

Edge Cleaning Feature

The edge cleaning feature provides improved cleaning near walls and stationary furniture. For maximum edge cleaning, position the right side of the vacuum from the user’s perspective near walls or stationary furniture.

Cleaning with On-Board Tools

This vacuum is equipped with on-board cleaning tools, including a metal telescopic wand, stretch hose, dusting brush, and crevice tool.

1. To use the cleaning tools, lift the hose handle straight up from the vacuum (Fig. 1).
2. Extend the wand by pushing the button forward and pulling the smaller wand out of the larger wand (Fig. 2).
3. Attach any of the on-board tools to the end of the wand, or if you do not need the wand, any tool can be connected directly to the hose handle.

MAINTENANCE

Always operate the vacuum cleaner with a vacuum bag installed.

How to Change the Vacuum Bag

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the bag compartment cover and remove the used bag from the bag holder (Fig. 3).
2. Attach the new vacuum bag to the bag holder (Fig. 4).
3. Pull the bottom corners of the new vacuum bag (Fig. 5).
4. Reinsert the tab on the end of the bag compartment cover into the groove on the bag compartment housing. Press it into place and fasten the bag compartment tightly (Fig. 6).

How to Change Filters

Your Powr-Flite vacuum cleaner is equipped with a Pre-Motor Filter and a HEPA Exhaust filter. These filters capture fine dust particles and protect the motor from dirt. It is important to replace the HEPA Exhaust filter approximately every six months.

To Change or Clean the Pre-Motor Filter

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the bag compartment cover and the bag.
2. Remove the Pre-Motor Filter (Fig. 1) and shake or brush off the dirt, then replace the filter.
3. Replace the bag and the bag compartment cover.

To Change the HEPA Exhaust Filter

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the bag compartment cover.
2. Remove the HEPA Exhaust filter from the front of the bag compartment (Fig. 2).
3. Insert a new filter and replace the bag compartment cover.

Note: HEPA Exhaust filters cannot be washed and used again.

How to Remove the Bottom Plate

1. Place the vacuum cleaner in the low position (see page 9). Turn the vacuum over.
2. Slide the clips toward each other (Fig. 1).
3. Remove the bottom plate.

How to Replace the Belt

1. Turn the unit over and remove the bottom plate as described in the above section.
2. Remove the agitator by pulling it straight out.
3. Remove the belt from the agitator and motor pulley.
4. Loop a new belt over the motor pulley and over the end of the agitator.
5. Stretch the belt over the agitator while inserting it back into the brush head housing.
6. Replace the bottom plate by hooking the front end of the plate into the two ribs on the front end of the brush head housing (Fig. 2). Press the bottom plate into place by sliding the clips away from each other.

NOTE: To ensure maximum cleaning efficiency, check the belt regularly to ensure it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is stretched, cracked, or if excessive slipping is occurring.

How to Clean the Brush Head Hose

1. Remove the wand from the wand/hose holder as shown on page 10.
2. Squeeze the tabs on both sides of the quick clean-out port and pull away from the vacuum (Fig. 1).
3. Check above and below the port opening for obstructions.
4. Remove any obstructions.
5. Replace the quick clean-out port by squeezing both tabs and pushing it back into the wand/hose holder.

CAUTION: Unplug the vacuum cleaner before performing any of these steps. Your new vacuum cleaner is circuit breaker protected to prevent motor damage due to airflow or brush obstruction. Should your vacuum cleaner experience an obstruction, the circuit breaker will trip and safely turn off the motor.

To reset the circuit breaker:

1. Press the on/off switch to the off position “O” and unplug the vacuum cleaner cord.
2. Check the brush and remove any entangled objects. Remove the bottom plate to access the obstruction if necessary (see page 12).
3. Check for airflow obstruction and remove obstruction (full bag, clog in brush head hose, clog in wand/hose, clogged filters, etc.).
4. After removing the obstruction, reset the circuit breaker by pushing the reset button and resume operation (Fig. 1).

NOTICE: Do not repeatedly reset the circuit breaker button without removing the obstruction, as motor failure may result and void the warranty. If the vacuum cleaner fails to turn on, contact an Authorized Service Center.

For Best Performance

Keep the machine and all accessories clean and in good operating condition. Change vacuum bags and filters as recommended to maintain optimum cleaning efficiency. Always use genuine bags, filters, and parts, as use of other products may result in poor cleaning or filtration performance. Powr-Flite filtration products are designed for maximum performance. Have the machine checked periodically by the retailer where you purchased your Powr-Flite vacuum. Store the machine carefully in a dry area. For optimum cleaning performance and safety, follow your owner’s manual. Visit WWW.POWR-FLITE.COM for more information.
