I) BAG CHECK INDICATOR

The bag change indicator is a visual aid to

advise you of the condition of the dust bag.

The GREEN mark indicates that the dust bag is

still empty.

The RED mark will appear when airflow through

the bag is insufficient. When this happens, check

the dust bag, it may be full or blocked with fine

dust and needs replacing.

NOTE: If after replacing the bag, the RED

indicator still appears in the window, check

to see if the hose or suction inlet is clogged.

(see BLOCKAGES).

When using the crevice nozzle the red mark may

appear. This is due to reduced air flow and not an

indication that the bag is full.

H) HOW TO USE THE ACCESSORIES

1) To use the accessories always keep the vacuum cleaner in the

upright position.

2) Pull out the hose from the suction pipe inlet and remove it from the hose

clip. Then slide the hose through the hose support and connect any

accessory as illustrated below.

Important: For a longer reach, remove the hose support from its fastening and

hold the handle of the cleaner with one hand to avoid pulling the cleaner over.

NOTE:After finishing with the accessories, re-insert the hose in the suction

pipe inlet and place it into the hose clip and hose support.
