How To Use Accessories  
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. Change the bag if it is full;  
replace the belt if it is stretched or cracked, and clean the brush  
roll bristles if they are wrapped with thread and hair.  
DUST BAG (Style SL) PN 61125  
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 through. If the bag 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, 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 changed more often.  
Dusting Brush  
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical  
cord before servicing the bag. Never operate  
the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.  
2
CAUTION: When cleaning new carpet for the first time,  
bag will fill quickly. Check often.  
Remove Front Cover  
Grasp the handle at the top of the front cover. Pull out  
and up to remove from the unit.  
Collapse the handle from the upright position. Press  
handle release button and rotate handle down and  
against the body of the cleaner until it locks onto the  
body.  
Remove Used Disposable Dust Bag  
To release used bag, push top of bag retainer latch on  
inside of bag compartment and pull used bag down  
and out.  
The dusting brush and upholstery nozzle fit on both  
the hose and the wand with a built-in crevice tool.  
Install New Disposable Dust Bag  
Use the dusting brush to dust  
furniture, blinds, books, lamps,  
shelves.  
Find bag rails on the inside of the bag compartment.  
Locate and position the bag collar (notch toward front)  
on bag rails. Push bag collar allowing it to follow the  
rails up inside the bag compartment. Push bag release  
button, lock bag collar up into bag release. Release  
button. The bag is held.  
Replace Front Cover  
The crevice tool cleans  
corners, base boards, between  
cushions.  
Place tabs on bottom of front cover into slots at the  
bottom of the bag compartment. Push up and against  
the body of cleaner until it snaps into place.

nozzle. Flip the power nozzle back upright and remove the  
hood.  
NOTE: The reset button cover (circled) is spring loaded

Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues  
brushing the carpet nap. Check brush roll occasionally for  
hair or string that may have wrapped around dowel. Remove  
with scissors.  
When bristles have worn to about 1/4" in length, carpet  
cleaning effectiveness will be reduced. It is time to replace the  
brush roll. Follow the instructions in the brush roll belt section  
to open up the power nozzle and replace the brush roll.
