and extend the life of your vacuum,
it is very important that you empty
your dirt container and check and

the instructions on the following
pages, and perform these simple
maintenance steps:
1. Empty the dirt container when the dirt
reaches the “Full” line on the container,
or more frequently, to prevent overfills.
2. Check the pre-motor and post-motor
filter regularly. Clean or replace as
needed.
