Getting Started
BAG SUPPORT STRAP
Check to make sure the Bag Support Strap  4 is connected to

Adaptor. Then place the hole in the strap over the stud on the Top Adaptor.
Finally, insert the adaptor and new filter bag into the Outer Permanent
Bag  1 and close the zipper completely for maximum performance.
NOTE: In order for the Filtration System to perform effectively, use only
Kirby® Micron Magic® HEPA Filtration Bags. If the outside bag is torn or
damaged, please replace immediately. ❏

USING THE BELT LIFTER
The Belt Lifter  20 on your Sentria system is used for two purposes:
l) To engage or disengage the Brush Roll. When the Brush Roll is
disengaged, the Sentria system can be used as a straight suction
cleaner (page 13), and;
2) To allow removal of the Power Nozzle when converting your Sentria
system for use with various attachments and optional accessories.
To avoid damaging the belt, turn the Sentria system OFF before using
the Belt Lifter. ➤
