DUST BAG CHANGING (page 21).

Check motor safety filter and exhaust

filter and replace if dirty. See MOTOR

SAFETY FILTER CHANGING (page 22}

in the belt path area or in the agitator

area. Carefully remove any string or

debris located on the agitator or end

caps. See TO CLEAN AGITATOR (page

If the vacuum cleaner still has poor

suction, do the following:

turn vacuum cleaner on. Check the end

of the hose for suction. If there is good

suction on the hose handle, there is no

clog in the hose. tf the suction is bad,

remove any dirt or debris in the hose

and handle.

2, Connect hose handle to wand. Check

the end of the wand for suction. If

there is good suction at the end of the

wand, there is no clog in the wand. If

the suction is bad_ remove any dirt or

debris in the wand.

3. Check PowerMate swivel. Remove any

dirt or debris.
