If the cleaneris still difficult to push, follow the procedure and test the cleaner at the next higher setting. Continue testing the setting until the cleaner is comiortable to move. Moving the knob or slide to the next higher setting raises the brush roll slightly, making the cleaner easier to push. However, the brush rall must make contact with the carpet for effective cleaning, 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. Fan Chamber Cover (PF757) NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning. The clear, removable fan chamber cover provides easy Mm inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the fan chamber Removing the cover provides easy access to the motor tan. Grease buildup, dirt, or other obstructions, visible through the fan cover, should be removed. To clean the fan area, take off the chrome bottom plate by releasing the two cam locks (see Brush Roll Belt, Figure 1 and 2). Remove the belt from the motor pulley, then loosen and remove the screws on either side of the fan cover, as indicated by the arrows. Push the cam locks outward against the wheels to lift the cover from the cleaner base. Dirt and obstructions can easily be cleared; however, caked grease may need to be scraped from the cover and the cleaner. If the fan does not turn freely, it also should be removed for cleaning. To remove the fan, place a wrench over the motor pulley. Hold the fan blades with one hand and turn the wrench counterclockwise. Remove ihe motor pulley and lift the fan off the motor shaft. Clean the area and replace the fan over the motor shaft, Tighten the motor pulley snugly clockwise with the wrench. If necessary, replace the fan cover or the gasket with replacement parts. Be sure the gasket is in place. Reposition the fan cover by first placing the exhaust end into place between the large rear wheels. Seat the fan cover firmly. Next replace the belt and bottom plate as the pressure from the bottom plate helps seal the fan cover, Start the two screws by hand to be sure they are straight, then tighten. Order fan chamber cover replacement kit (fan cover, gasket, two screws). Aus 11 Cleaner Care NOTE: 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 notin use, the cleaner should be stored in a clean, dry place. Dust Cup and Bag (PF70DC) The cloth bag and the dust cup play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The cloth bag allows air to move through the cleaner while it traps dirt inside the cloth bag and the dust cup. When dirt particles cling to the cloth bag, they can restrict airflow. If air cannot pass through the cloth bag, no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the unit, Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the dust cup appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming powder, flour dust, or similar fine substances, it may be necessary to turn off the cleaner and empty the dust cup more often. NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before emptying the dustcup. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust cup latched in place. 1. Unhook 1. Unhook the clip from the top of the cloth bag. 2. Shake the cioth bag to release dust clinging inside. 3. Release each latch, one on either side of the handle (push down on the lock, lift up on the bottom and pull the top forward.) NOTE: Keep the latch free of dust or obstructions that would prevent it from locking securely. 3. Release 4. Lift the lid; swing it up and outward. on . Reach in, grasp the dust cup and pull it out of the support. 6. Empty contents in a suitable container. (/f desired, the cup can be washed in warm waiter using a mild soap solution. Be sure the cup is completely dry before repla cing.) 7.~Place the cup into the support, Swing the lid shut, and fasten each latch. 8. Hook clip to top of bag (refer to item 1). 12 Dust Bag The dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The bag traps the dirt and allows the air to pass th rough. If the bag (either cloth or paper} becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place, regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, empty or change the dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict air flow 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 cleaned or changed more often. NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before emptying the bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag. How To Empty Reusable Dust Bag = A m Ha Bern 1.
