HOW TO USE  
HOW TO MAINTAIN  
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to  
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,  
check the bag, belt and brush roll often.

Disposable Dust Bags  
Paper bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a  
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of a paper bag is to trap dirt.  
But at the same time the paper bag must be porous enough to  
allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged,  
no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take  
place, regardless of how powerful the unit. Change the dust  
bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very  
quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag  
appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet  
fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine  
substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.

Handle Lock  
Handle Adjustment  
With the tip of the foot, press down to release the handle lock  
located at the left rear side of the cleaner. Move the handle  
and adjust it to the desired position for (1) storing upright, (2)  
operating the cleaner at a comfortable height for the user,  
and (3) cleaning underneath low furniture.

& G, PN 54924A  
Power Switch  
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical  
cord before changing dust bag. Never  
operate the vacuum cleaner without the  
dust bag.  
The power switch is  
mountedonthemotorhood.  
A push with the foot turns  
the motor ON; push again  
to turn the motor OFF.  
Cord Storage  
1. Pull  
The cleaner has two convenient cord storage  
hooks attached to the handle. However, some  
models feature a quick release cord hook on  
the upper handle. A downward twist of the  
cord hook frees the cord for quick removal.  
With either style, wind the cord around the  
hooks for storage. Fasten the plug to the cord  
to prevent unwinding.

6. Roll up coil spring.  
The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or  
lowers the cleaner base to match the type of carpet. With  
the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest  
setting for maximum cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to  
push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner  
is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the carpet  
for effective cleaning.  
7. Place paper bag into outer bag.  
NOTE: Be certain there are no folds  
at the top or bottom of the  
paper bag.  
8. Lift zipper

adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt  
cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels.

Micron Filter
® Bag Care  
(Micron Filter Bag is standard on some models)  
Because the Micron Filter Bag is an effective filter medium,  
occasionally trapped dust particles will need to be cleaned  
from the inside of it. The dust accumulation can be vacuumed  
out with another vacuum or the bag may be removed to shake  
out. If you desire, the bag may be hand laundered. The zipper  
on the bag should be down and the bag should remain right  
side out. Use warm water (150°F 65°C) and a mild detergent.  
Pre-soaking the bag in a laundry pre-soak is desirable for  
best cleaning results. Air dry thoroughly before using.  
Check for brush wear (see Brush Roll instructions).  
3. Place
 
new belt around brush roll.  
DO NOT USE AN AUTOMATIC WASHER OR DRYER as  
either will cause abrasion to the delicate polyester fabric. DO  
NOT DRY CLEAN as dry cleaning fluids will damage plastic  
parts of your bag assembly.  
4. Align brush roll pulley with belt guide.

Cleaner Care  
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical  
cord before cleaning unit.

To keep the vacuum cleaner looking new, it can be wiped with  
a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then thoroughly dried.  
Never use any type of chemical as chemicals can damage  
the cleaner. When not in use, the cleaner should be stored  
in a clean, dry place.  
Metal Brush Roll only.  
Place rubber end cap covers (available on select models)  
over both end caps (flat side against end cap).Align holes  
and secure.  
Brush Roll Belt  
The brush roll belt on the upright vacuum cleaner drives the  
brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The belt  
should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good condition.  
Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut  
away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the  
belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate  
unevenly.  
5. Slant brush roll forward so end caps are in line with  
slots in cleaner base.  
6. Push brush roll into base.  
How To Replace A Worn Belt  
PN 52100A, Style RD  
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical  
cord before replacing belt. Belt pulleys can  
become hot during normal use. To prevent  
burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when  
servicing the drive belt.  
7. Place lower side of belt into belt guide and pull to  
stretch the belt around the left side of motor pulley.  
Rotate pulley to secure belt into groove.

Brush Roll  
Headlight Bulb (Standard on most models)  
The rotating brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet nap.  
Keep the brush roll free from hair and threads so it will  
continue brushing. When the bristles of the brush roll no  
longer touch a straight edge held across the bottom plate,  
the brush roll is ineffective because the bristles no longer  
touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective cleaning,  
replace the wood brush roll. Install new brush strips on the  
chromed steel brush roll (refer to instructions).  
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical  
cord before replacing headlight bulb.  
Headlight style varies by model. Locate the notches that  
release the tabs at either (1) top, (2) side, or (3) bottom of  
the lens, as illustrated. Place a screwdriver into one notch;  
twist or pry the screwdriver to release the lens. Repeat for  
the second notch on the opposite side.  
Rotate the bulb socket forward. Push bulb in and turn to  
remove. Secure new bulb into socket and rotate bulb socket  
backward.  
How To Replace Worn Brush Strips, PN 52282-4  
(chromed steel brush roll)  
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical  
cord before replacing brush strips.  
Replace the lens tabs into the top or the bottom of the hood  
opening. Rotate lens to position and press down at each  
notch until the lens locks into position.  
New brush strips are supplied in sets of two, one long and  
one short. To replace, remove bottom plate and belt (see  
How To Change Belt). Then, grasp center of brush roll and  
lift to remove.  
CAUTION: Use 25 watt replacement bulb, only.
