Sanitaire 800 - Manual (Page 4)

Attach Outer Bag
IMPORTANT: To provide a good gasket seal,
the bag coupling must seat firmly
against the motor base.
1. Insert bag adapter clip (B) into bag adapter
retainer (C).
2. Push bag collar up and forward so locator lug
(D) slides into slot (E).
3. Turn cam latch to lock bag collar onto
shoulder rivet.
4. Loop the bag spring onto the bag support
hook located at the back of the upper handle
section.
Extension Cord
To install or change the extension cord, slip cord lock over one of the
cords ends. Plug the pigtail into the extension cord. Clip both ends of
the cord hook behind the plug ends to make a secure connection.
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.
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).
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.
Power Switch
The power switch is mounted on the handle. Push ON (-) or OFF (O).
Edge Kleener ®
Edge Kleener feature provides for improved cleaning of carpets near walls and stationary
furniture. Slots on the sides of the nozzle increase air flow to the edges of the cleaner
and add to the cleaning efficiency of the cleaner. To operate, simply run cleaner along
edge board. Edge Kleener operates instantly and automatically.
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.
Adjust the vacuum cleaner height setting to match the carpet pile height.
The front of the cleaner has either a knob or slide adjustment which raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the type of
carpet. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to the lowest setting. While the cleaner is off and disconnected from
the outlet, place the handle in the operating position, tilt the cleaner back to remove the weight from the wheels, and adjust the
setting. Then plug the cleaner into the electrical outlet, turn on the switch, lower the handle, and pass the cleaner over the carpet.
If the cleaner is still difficult to push, follow the procedure and test the cleaner at the next higher setting. Continue testing the
setting until the cleaner is comfortable to move. Moving the knob or slide to the next higher setting raises the brush roll slightly,
making the cleaner easier to push. However, the brush roll must make contact with the carpet for effective cleaning.
