Two-Wire Polarized Cord
MODELS CPU-1 and CPU-1T
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Grounding Instructions
MODELS CPU-2 and CPU-2T
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 grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the appliance is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter 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.

The replacement or repair of damaged wiring should only be
performed by a qualified electrician or service engineer from

cleaning, use the left side of the vacuum near walls or stationary furniture.
Automatic Self-Adjusting Nozzle
Your Carpet Pro upright vacuum cleaner is designed with an Automatic Self-Adjusting Nozzle. No manual
adjustments are required. The height of the nozzle is instantly and automatically adjusted to carpet pile height.

How to Clean the Nozzle Hose
CAUTION:
Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
The nozzle hose, located on the back of the vacuum cleaner, carries the dirt
from the nozzle to the vacuum bag. The hose also functions as the attachment
cleaning hose (on CPU-1T and CPU-2T models only).
If the hose should become clogged
1. Pull out and turn the lid of the cleaning attachment opening. Remove the
clog or blockage (Fig.1).
2. If the above step is not enough, remove hose cuff from the attachment port
inlet (Fig. 2). Turn the unit over and unscrew and remove the bottom plate
(see "How To Remove Bottom Plate."). Check nozzle inlet tube for
obstructions (Fig. 3). Clear tube and reinstall the bottom plate.

Thermal Fuse Protection
Your Carpet Pro vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a Manual Reset Thermal Fuse Protector. This thermal
protector is designed to protect your vacuum cleaner from overheating due to a cutoff in airflow (i.e. clogged
hose, operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this situation occur, the thermal fuse protector will safely shut
off your vacuum cleaner to avoid any potential damage.
For models CPU-1 and CPU-1T only
NOTE: To determine if it was the thermal fuse protector that turned off your vacuum cleaner and not some other reason,
please refer to the vacuum cleaner's headlight. If the headlight is on while the motor is off, then the thermal fuse did
safely shut down the motor. If the headlight and motor are off, then there is some reason other than the thermal protector
(i.e. pulled plug) the vacuum cleaner has shut down.
To reset the thermal fuse
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
2. Check for problem (over-filled bag, clog in hose, clogged filters, etc.).
3. Correct problem.
4. Locate "tripped" fuse — the small red button located on the bottom of the back side of the main body (roughly
one inch to the right of the left wheel).
5. Using a pencil, paper clip, or other pointy object, push the reset button.
6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and begin using.
Please return to your Carpet Pro Retailer with any questions.
For Best Performance
• Keep 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. Carpet Pro filtration products are designed for maximum performance.
• Have machine checked periodically by the retailer where you purchased your Carpet Pro vacuum.
• Store machine carefully in dry area.
• For optimum cleaning performance and safety, follow your owner's manual.
