HOW TO MAINTAIN (continued) The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt, and brush roll often. How To Replace Brush Roll Belt (continued) Disposable Dust Bag and Filters The disposable dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is to trap dirt. As the bag traps dirt, it must also be porous enough to allow air to pass on through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the unit. Change the dust bag and check the filters frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filters may require more frequent maintenance. 5 5. Insert right end into base.
