vacuum, it may become necessary at
times to adjust the suction release (c) on
the handle. (Fig. 11) If the vacuum seems
difficult to push or pull or if it is lifting
up area rugs, adjust the suction release
by rotating the collar 90° counterclockwise
to open the valve. Rotate the collar
clockwise to close the valve when you need
high suction and for vacuuming floors.

CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH
CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES
When your motorized floor brush needs cleaning or
locks onto an object, it automatically shuts down to
prevent damage to your lifetime belt. The indicator
light will illuminate red warning you to turn off the
vacuum and clear blockage immediately. The light will
reset itself once blockage has been cleared and power
has been cycled on/off or vacuum has been locked in
the upright position.
Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and
shut down. To prevent this from happening, check
potential blockage areas after heavy use or if you
detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
1 D
etach the motorized floor brush from the portable
Lift-Away ® canister.
2Inspect the opening underneath and the rotating
brush. If a build-up of debris is present, remove it.
Carefully cut anything wound around the rotating
brush with scissors. Avoid damaging or cutting the
bristles. (Fig. 32)
Make sure you are working in a well
lit area and use a flashlight to help
search for blockages.
1 Dust Cup
Dust cup may be full. Empty dust cup.
2 Pre-Motor & Post-Motor Filters
•Pre-motor filters require washing every 3
months for optimum performance.
The post-motor HEPA filter needs to be washed
every 2 years.
• Ensure that all the filters are clean.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Vacuum is not
picking up dirt.
Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing
and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the vacuum. (See
“Maintenance” sections for instructions.)
Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
Check hose and hose connections for blockages; clear blockages if required.
If dust cup is empty, and attachment inlets are clear, check for other
blockages. (See “Checking for Blockages” for instructions.)
Vacuum lifts scatter rugs
(lightweight, movable
rugs).
Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming scatter-type rugs or rugs with
delicately sewn edges. Open the suction release on the handle to decrease
suction power.
Move the On/Off switch to “I - Suction Only” position to disengage the
brush roll
Airflow is restricted. No
suction or light suction.
Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and
drying the filters before re-inserting back into the vacuum.
Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
Check hose, hose connections, nozzles and accessories for blockages; clear
blockages if required.
Close the suction release on the handle to increase suction power.
If dust cup is empty, and attachment inlets are clear, check for other
blockages.
Brush roll does not spin
Immediately turn off and unplug vacuum, disconnect the nozzle and remove
blockage before reconnecting and turning vacuum back on.
Pull the handle toward you and release the floor nozzle to disengage the
auto-off feature.
Move the On/Off switch to the “II - Brush Roll On” position.
Vacuum turns off
on its own.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If for
some reason your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn
the unit off. Should this occur, perform the following steps to restart the
motor thermostat:
1. Move the On/Off switch to the “O” (Off) position.
2. Unplug the vacuum.
3. Empty the dust cup and clean filters.
4. Check for blockages in hose, accessories and inlet openings.
5. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minutes.
6. Plug in the vacuum.
7. Turn the On/Off switch to the “I” (On) position to restart the vacuum.
Note: If vacuum still does not start, contact Customer Service at:
