For best cleaning results, the dust bag
should be changed often. The use of
powder carpet fresheners can decrease
the effectiveness of the dust bag
filtering system by clogging the bag and
not allowing air to flow though properly.
We recommend that hard objects, pins,
broken glass, paper clips, etc. be
picked up from the floor before
vacuuming. Although, your vacuum will
pick them up, they could do severe
damage to the vacuum.
Use genuine Shark Trailblazer dust
bags, belts and filters only to insure top
performance from your vacuum.

1. Changing the Dust Bag:

Your vacuum comes with both paper

bags and a reusable cloth bag. To

change bags:

A) Unplug power cord from wall

outlet.

B) Remove the front panel of the unit.

(Fig. 4)

C) Remove the old dust bag by

holding the cardboard tab and pull

towards you. Remove carefully to

avoid dust/dirt spilling from dust

bag. (Fig. 5 & Fig. 6))

D) Take a new dust bag and while

holding the cardboard tab push the

bag over the opening of the dirt

discharge tube until it is seated

against the rear of the enclosure.

(Fig. 7)

E) Make sure that the entire bag is

correctly inserted inside the

housing, before replacing the front

panel. Always check the pre-

motor and post motor filters every

time you change the dust bag.

F) Once the new dust bag is in place,

replace the front panel by aligning

the bottom locking tabs with the

slots in the body, close cover

slowly allowing the front panel to

snap in place. The latch will

self lock.

NOTE: DO NOT OPERATE THE

VACUUM WITHOUT ALL THE

FILTERS IN PLACE.

2. Emptying the Cloth Dust Bag:

A) Hold the dust bag over a

dustbin. Remove the

clip by sliding it off the dust

bag sideways. (Fig. 8)

B) Shake the contents of the

dust bag into the dustbin.

C) Close the dust bag by sliding

the clip back onto the bottom

edge of the dust bag.

Please Note:

If you are using the cloth

dust bag, you should wash the

pre-motor filter in lukewarm water

once or twice a year. Always let

the pre-motor filter air dry

completely for 24 hours. Make

sure that the filter is completely

dry before you put it back into the

vacuum cleaner.

Please Note:

The cloth dust bag is

washable. DO NOT WASH IN

WASHING MACHINE. AIR DRY

FOR 24 HOURS ONLY. It

should however be replaced

every three (3) months to ensure

peak performance of your

vacuum.
