Cyclonic Attachment

The cyclonic attachment is for dry vacuuming only. This attachment captures dust and dirt particles. You must use at least one extension tube with the cyclonic filter tube, along with the desired accessory.

Convertible Brush

1. Insert the convertible brush to the hose alone or with the extension tube attached to the hose.

2. If you need a brush action, slide on the removable bristle brush onto the deluxe brush. (Fig. 4) to accomplish this. In order to ensure that maximum air suction is maintained, please read the following instructions:

1. Empty the water tank and cyclonic dust cup frequently.

2. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair and string which may accumulate and decrease brush performance.

3. Keep air driven turbo brush turbine free of dirt and foreign matter. (See illustration for cleaning instructions.)

Air Driven Turbo Brush

IMPORTANT:

Do not use the Air

Driven Turbo Brush for wet pick-up.

The air driven turbo brush removes embedded dust and pet hair. The efficiency of your air driven turbo brush depends on the bristle brush rotating at high speed. Strong air suction is needed

Cleaning Air Driven Turbo Brush

From time to time, the turbine of your turbo brush will require cleaning. To do this:

1. Remove the turbo brush from the hose or extension tube.

2. Slide locking latch forward then tilt the top housing of the brush upwards.

The top housing is hinged and will tilt up approximately 45° only.

3. There may be some dust, lint, hair, etc on the turbine wheel. Remove as much of this as possible.

4. You may also use the unit’s hose with crevice tool attached and use the vacuum to remove any additional debris from the turbine.

5. Ensure that the turbine wheel moves freely by rotating it with your finger. If the turbine does not rotate, call

1 (800) 798-7398 for help.

6. Once clean, close the top cover of the turbo brush and slide the locking latch toward the rear of the brush to lock.
