Eureka 1040 Series - Manual (Page 8)

Open the tool box. Lift up on the dust bag
compartment lid.
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the dust
Bag and filter often. We suggest emptying the dust bag after every use.
NOTE: When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances,
the dust bag and filter will require more frequent maintenance.
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing the dust bag or filter. Never
operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag or filter in place.

4 To empty cloth dust bag, hold dust bag over a
waste container and slide the bottom clamp off
