READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
APPLIANCE. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage
caused when the appliance is not used according to the instructions, or for uses other

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, damage or injury:
• Do not leave appliance when plugged
in. Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before servicing.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Commercial Model
This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure that the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the vacuum – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

screws (Fig. 1).
• Place handle onto the handle tube,
aligning holes with pegs (Fig. 2).
• Place the handle bracket back into

ASSEMBLING THE VACUUM

ASSEMBLING THE VACUUM
Positioning the Power Cord
• Loosen, but do not remove, the screw
holding the upper cord hook (Fig. 1).
• Position the cord between the cord
hook and the vacuum tube (Fig. 2).
Re-tighten the screw.
• Once the cord is secured by the cord hook,
proceed with wrapping the cord.
• Wrap the cord clockwise around the
top and bottom cord hooks. Fasten
the plug to the wrapped cord using the
channel on the plug. When not in use,
store the vacuum indoors in a clean,
dry area where it cannot be damaged
or cause injury.

Turning the Vacuum On/Off
The switch is located on the back of the
nozzle to the left of the handle tube (Fig. 1).
Press the switch with your foot to turn
the vacuum On or Off.
The vacuum should be turned Off
before returning handle to full upright
position. Always turn the vacuum cleaner
Off before unplugging it from the
electrical outlet.
Edge Cleaning
The edge cleaning feature provides
improved cleaning near walls and
stationary furniture. For maximum edge
cleaning, place the left side of the nozzle
against the wall or stationary furniture.
Automatic Carpet Height
Adjustment
Your vacuum is designed with an automatic,
self-adjusting nozzle. No manual adjustments
are required. The height of the nozzle is
instantly and automatically adjusted to
the flooring surface. This self-adjusting
feature allows the nozzle to float evenly
over all flooring surfaces.

making sure the belt is not twisted
and all rotating parts move smoothly
(Fig. 3).
• Reinstall the bottom plate (see “Removing
and Reinstalling the Bottom Plate” on page
9).
NOTE: To ensure maximum cleaning
efficiency, the belt should be checked
regularly to be sure it is in good condition.
Check to see if the belt is stretched, cracked,
or if excessive slipping is occurring. Replace
if needed.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

11
Resetting the Circuit Breaker
Your vacuum features a circuit breaker
to protect the machine against damage
due to a surge in the electrical current.
Electrical surging can be a result of, though
not limited to, a jammed motor fan.
Should your vacuum experience a jammed
brushroll with the circuit breaker tripping,
first turn the vacuum off and unplug the
unit. Inspect the brushroll by removing
the bottom plate (see “Removing and
Reinstalling the Bottom Plate” on page
9) and remove any debris which may be
causing the jam. Reinstall the bottom
plate (see “Removing and Reinstalling
the Bottom Plate” on page 9), reset the
circuit breaker by pressing the Circuit
Breaker Reset Button (Fig. 1), plug in
power cord, and turn unit on. If the unit
fails to turn on, return it to an Authorized
DAVID Vacuum Retailer for service.

shock and injury from moving parts,
unplug vacuum before cleaning or
servicing.
1. First remove the nozzle housing. Turn
the unit over to expose the underside.
Locate the two main nozzle screws
(Fig.1) and remove both. Turn the unit
right side up. Locate the two nozzle
tabs on the back of the unit (Fig. 2) and
unlatch the nozzle housing. (Note: It is
easier to remove the nozzle when the
vacuum is lying flat on its back.) Lift the
nozzle housing off the unit to expose the
light bulb.
2. Remove bulb by pulling it straight out of
the light socket (Fig. 3).
3. To install new bulb, simply reinsert the
bulb into the light socket.
4. Place nozzle housing back onto unit
with the front side of the nozzle set into
place first (Fig. 4) then press the nozzle
downward until nozzle “clicks” into
place on both sides. Turn unit over and
reinsert two main nozzle screws.
