Eureka 420 Series - Manual (Page 4)

HOW TO USE
Power Switch
1. This vacuum has a 3-position switch. O is Off, I is “Suction Only,”
and II is “Suction and Brushroll.”
2. For bare floor cleaning use suction only (I). For carpet cleaning,
use suction and brushroll (II).
The nozzle allows for low profile cleaning. Airflow under the nozzle
automatically directs suction to the edges and corners for maximum
full width cleaning.
HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine
maintenance. To keep the cleaner operating at top efficiency
empty the dust cup and clean the filter after each use. To maximize
cleaner efficiency do not allow the dust cup to be filled past the
bottom of the filter.
Empty Dust Cup
CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug the
electrical cord to service.
3. Push dust cup release button.
4. Pull the dust cup away from the main housing.
5. Rotate the dust cup lid counterclockwise to remove. The dust
cup filter comes out with the dust cup lid.
6. Empty the dust cup into a waste container. (To clean filter refer
to dust cup filter section.)
7. Put the lid back on dust cup. Be sure the gasket on the filter
bottom is centered in the inner tube and the lid is aligned correctly
on the cup. Rotate the dust cup lid clockwise until it locks.
8. Place the bottom of the dust cup in the main housing. Push the
top of the dust cup back into place until it locks.
Remove a Clog in the Base
This model has a clean-out port which allows access into the bottom
of the power nozzle in order to remove large debris that has become
lodged in the airway. (See page 3 for location.)
CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug the
electrical cord to service.
1. On the bottom of the power nozzle, locate the transparent Clean-
Out Port Door located between the wheels. (See page 3.)
2. Remove the port door by squeezing the latch at the back of the
nozzle and rotating the port door forward. No tools are needed
for this step.
3. Locate and remove clog from the power nozzle.
4. Reattach the clean-out port door by inserting the front edge
into position and rotating the door into the base until the latch
snaps into place. Ensure that the latch is secure. Do not use
the vacuum without first reattaching the clean-out port door.

body of the cleaner to locate the clog in the neck of the power
nozzle.
