How to adjust the brush height?

Use the adjustment pedal located at the front of the vacuum. To increase height, lift the pedal; to decrease, press it down. There are 5 levels available.

What type of bag should I use?

Always use the OEM paper bag (ref. 90701) inside the provided cloth bag. Never use the vacuum without a paper bag.

What if the vacuum does not turn on?

Check both manual circuit breakers (15 A for suction, 2.5 A for brush). Unplug the unit, resolve the cause (full bag, obstruction, clogged filter, etc.), then press the reset button on the relevant circuit breaker.

How to replace the brush belt?

Unplug the vacuum. Remove the belt cover on the left side. Loosen the motor adjustment screws, remove the old belt, install the new one (ref. 19802), and tension it by repositioning the motor. Tighten the screws and replace the cover.

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. Connect only to a dedicated individual branch circuit.

Fig. 1
