Lubrication

The vacuum cleaner motor bearings are factory lubricated and sealed. Further lubrication is not required.

CAUTION

Wood Floors, Soft (Vinyl, Asphalt Tile, etc.) Floor Surfaces and Polished Floor Finishes

Use floor and floor finish manufacturer’s recommended methods of cleaning. The
roller brush may also scuff very soft finishes. Do not operate the unit while in the
upright and locked position. Do not let the unit run while in any one stationary posi-
tion for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.
Note: At least once a month, check for and remove excessive lint, string or hair from
revolving brush. Patented cleaning grooves on brush roll will allow easier cleaning.
Wipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth. Also clean the connector deflector
assembly area, base of cleaner and fan housing area. If there is dust in the outer bag,
vacuum it or shake it out.
A little preventative maintenance will keep your cleaner looking new and will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
