CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ  
Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique, quelques précautions élémentaires doivent  
être observées, incluant les suivantes:  
LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE ASPIRATEUR.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Pour réduire le risque de feu, de choc électrique, ou de blessure:  
Ne pas utiliser à l’extérieur ou sur des surfaces mouillées.  
Fermez le commutateur et débranchez l’appareil lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas ou  
avant le nettoyage ou l’entretien.

lorsque utilisé par ou près d’un enfant.  
Suivez les recommandations d’utilisation de ce manuel. Utilisez uniquement les  
accessoires recommandés par le fabriquant.  
Ne pas utiliser si le cordon ou la fiche sont endommagés. Si l’aspirateur ne fonctionne  
pas comme il le devrait, s’il a été échappé, s’il est endommagé, s’il a été laissé à l’extérieur  
ou échappé dans l’eau, retournez-le à un centre de service avant de utiliser.  
Ne pas le tirer ou le transporter par le cordon, ne pas utiliser le cordon en guise de  
poignée. Ne pas fermer une porte sur le cordon ou tirer le cordon sur des coins ou  
bordures pointus. Ne pas circuler sur le cordon avec l’aspirateur. Tenir le cordon à  
distance des surfaces chauffantes.  
Ne pas utiliser des rallonges ou des prises qui n’ont pas de capacité suffisante pour  
transporter le courant.

Ne pas débrancher en tirant sur le cordon. Pour débrancher, tenez la fiche et non le  
cordon.  
Ne pas manipuler la fiche ou l’aspirateur avec les mains mouillées.  
Ne pas rien insérer dans les ouvertures. Ne pas utiliser si des ouvertures sont bloquées;  
assurez-vous qu’elles soient dégagées de poussière, mousse, cheveux ou toute autre  
chose qui pourrait réduire le passage de l’air.  
Cet aspirateur crée de la succion et contient un rouleau-brosse tournant. Tenir les parties

cendres chaudes.  
N’utilisez pas sans le sac de poussière en place.  
Les poulies du courroie peuvent devenir chaudes pendant l’utilisation normale. Pour  
prévenir des brûlures, évitez de touché la poulie du courroie lorsque vous réparez la  
courroie.  
Portez une attention particulière lorsque vous nettoyez les escaliers.  
Ne pas utiliser pour ramasser des liquides inflammables ou combustibles comme de  
l’essence: Ne pas utiliser dans les endroits où ces liquides pourraient être présents.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade  
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug  
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.  
Afin de réduire le risque de choc électrique, cet appareil est muni d’une fiche  
polarisée (une des lames est plus large). Cette fiche ne peut être insérée dans une  
prise polarisée que d’une seule façon. Si la fiche ne peut être insérée dans la prise,  
retourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas être insérée dans la prise, faire  
installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

HOW TO USE  
The upright vacuum cleaner is designed to be used on multiple types of carpeting. Do  
not attempt to use the upright vacuum cleaner on bare floors, as damage to the  
floor covering may result. Above the floor cleaning tools are available (optional).  
1. Store  
2. Use  
Handle Adjustment  
With the tip of the foot, press down to  
release the handle lock located at the left  
rear side of the cleaner. Move the handle  
and adjust it to the desired position for (1)  
storing upright, (2) operating the cleaner at  
a comfortable height for the user, and (3)  
cleaning underneath low furniture.  
3.Clean  
Underneath  
Handle Lock  
ON/OFF  
Power Switch  
The power switch is mounted on the motor  
hood. A push with the foot turns the motor  
ON; push again to turn the motor OFF.  
Cord Storage  
The cleaner has two convenient cord  
storage hooks attached to the handle.  
However, some models feature a quick  
release cord hook on the upper handle. A  
downward twist of the cord hook frees the  
cord for quick removal. With either style,  
wind the cord around the hooks for storage.  
Fasten the plug to the cord to prevent  
unwinding.  
Cleaner Height Setting  
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all other parts  
of body away from any moving part (such as the revolving brush).  
Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner before changing the  
cleaner height setting.  
The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that  
raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the  
type of carpet. With the cleaner cord unplugged,  
set the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum  
cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to push, move  
adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner  
is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach  
the carpet for effective cleaning.  
Make each adjustment with  
cleaner switch off and cord  
disconnected from outlet. For  
ease in moving the adjustment  
knob, place handle in operating  
position and tilt cleaner back to  
remove weight from front wheels.

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.  
Disposable Dust Bags  
Paper bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose  
of a paper bag is to trap dirt. But at the same time the bag must be porous enough to  
allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through  
the cleaner and no cleaning can take place, regardless of how powerful the unit is.  
Change the dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow 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.  
How To Change Disposable Dust Bag–Style F & G  
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust  
bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.

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 not in use, the cleaner should be stored in a clean, dry  
place.

Brush Roll Belt  
The brush roll belt on the upright vacuum cleaner drives the brush to agitate, sweep,  
and comb the carpet nap. The belt should be checked regularly to be sure it is in good  
condition. Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut away any hair or  
thread wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause  
the belt to rotate unevenly.  
How To Replace A Worn Belt  
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt.  
Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid  
touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.  
IMPORTANT: Improper installation of the brush roll or brush roll belt could cause  
carpet or cleaner damage.

Brush Roll  
The rotating brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free  
from hair and threads so it will continue brushing. When the bristles of the brush roll no  
longer touch a straight edge held against the bottom plate, the brush roll is ineffective  
because the bristles no longer touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective  
cleaning, the brush roll should be replaced.  
Headlight Bulb (Standard on most models)  
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing  
headlight bulb.  
Headlight style varies by model. Locate the notches that release the tabs at either (1)  
top, (2) side, or (3) bottom of the lens, as illustrated. Place a screwdriver into one  
notch; twist or pry the screwdriver to release the lens. Repeat for the second notch on  
the opposite side.  
Rotate the bulb socket forward. Push bulb in and turn to remove. Secure new bulb into  
socket and rotate bulb socket backward.  
Replace the lens tabs into the top or the bottom of the hood opening. Rotate lens to  
position and press down at notch until the lens locks into position.  
NOTE: Use 25 watt replacement bulb, only.  
Ask for GENUINE EUREKA replacement bulb, 40009A.
