Check Agitator Shield Because your cleaner picks up so well, we strongly recommend you check for debris accumulation under the agitator shield each time you clean the filters. Removing debris under the shield will help maintain your cleaner's excellent pick up and suction. Remove debris as follows: 1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. 2. Check for dirt accumulation by removing bottom plate (Fig. 4-10), removing agitator (Fig. 4-11), and lifting agitator shield (Fig. 4-13). 3.
