SPECIAL FEATURES OF CLEANER
Your Panasonic upright vacuum cleaner is
designed with an automatic self adjusting
nozzle. No manual adjustments are
required. The height of the nozzle is
instantly and automatically adjusted to any
carpet pile height. This self adjusting
feature allows the nozzle to float evenly
over all carpet pile surfaces.

The edge cleaning feature provides for
improved cleaning of carpets near walls
and furniture.
This vacuum has a motor protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum from
overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to
the motor the motor protector turns the motor off
automatically to allow the motor to coo! in order to
prevent possible damage to the vacuum. During this
time the headlight remains on. If this occurs, tum the
vacuum off and unplug the power cord from the outlet
to allow the vacuum to cool and the motor protector to
reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary,
as described in the REMOVING CLOGS sectlon.
Walt approximately thirty (30) minutes and plug the
vacuum in and turn back on to see if the motor
protector has reset. The motor protector will not reset If
the vacuum is not turned off even if the vacuum has cooled down.

The vac gauge located on the front of your vacuum cleaner
dust cover, indicates when the dust bag should be
changed. Change the dust bag when FULL is indicat-

NOTE: If the vac gauge indicates FULL while the
dust bag is still empty, check to see if there are any
clogs as explained in the REMOVING CLOGS

than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.

A WA RNIN G Personal injury Hazard when Using Attachments.
DO NOT place hands or feet underneath the unit when using the attachment tools. The
agitator begins to revolve rapidly when using attachments.
When using the attachments, the agitator begins rotating. DO NOT allow the cleaner to
remain in just one place for a period of time, as the agitator may damage the floor sur-
face. Avoid placing the cleaner on furniture, the fringed area of rugs, deep pile carpet-
ing, or carpeted stairs. The ideal position for the cleaner when using attachments is
for the unit to be on a level area with the handle in the full upright position. See the
HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS section.
To remove the wand from the short hose, grasp the top part of the
wand, see illustration, and twist as you pull up. Once the wand
has been removed it can be used as is, or the attachments can
be used. The tools can be attached to the hose or wand.
When connecting the attachments, always twist as you push
down. If additional reach is required, the dusting brush can be
attached to the end of the crevice too! by simply sliding it over the
narrow end of the crevice tool.
When using the attachments DO NOT overextend your reach with
the hose as it could tip the cleaner over.

To store attachments place the hose on the hose holder in front of
the handle. Return the wand to the tool holder, twisting as you
push down to connect it to the short hose cuff. Store the dusting
brush in the front of the tool holder. Return the crevice tool to the
tool holder. When attaching the wand to the hose follow the direc-
tions given in the ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY section.

ROUTINE CARE OF CLEANER
Performing the following tasks will keep your new Panasonic vacuum cleaner operating at peak
performance levels and will ensure these high levels for years to come. Check the BEFORE
REQUESTING SERVICE section in this manual for recommendations on performing some of
these tasks to help solve various problems that may occur.
A WA Н NIN G Electric Shock or Personal Injury Hazard.
Always disconnect electrical supply before performing any service and/or cleaning of the
vacuum cleaner. Failure to do so could result in electric shock or personal injury from
cleaner suddenly starting. DO NOT operate the cleaner without the secondary filter. Be
sure the secondary filter is properly installed. Failure to do so could result in motor fail-
A secondary HEPA type filter protects the
motor from dirt. When installing a new dust
bag, check this filter. Accumulated dirt in
the dust compartment will collect on the fil-
ter and may restrict motor performance.
When the filter becomes dirty, pull it from
the bottom of the dust compartment
and replace it. DO NOT CLEAN
WITH WATER*. When replacing,
slide the filter back into place making
sure the white side is up. Insert the sec-
ondary HEPA type filter with a ruler or
something flat. it should be fully inserted
under the plastic rib projections all the
way to the rear.

1. When to replace the brushes.
The brushes should be replaced when they are worn. Brushes
should be checked by holding a card across the lower plate,
see illustration. If the bristles on the agitator DO NOT touch the
card, you SHOULD replace the brushes for best cleaning
results.
2. How to replace the brushes.
Place the vacuum cleaner handle in the upright position.
See the HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS section. Remove the lower

reversing the procedure. Reinstall the agitator holder, agitator
pulley, making sure they are completely and firmly inserted, the
agitator shaft/end cap, and E-clip in the reverse order of
removal. See the exploded view below for the correct assembly
of all parts.
NOTE: Take care not to bend the agitator shaft. DO NOT mis-
place the smali E-clip. Be careful when removing and rein-
stalling it on the agitator shaft end, as it can easily get away
from you.
3. To replace the agitator.
Place the belt over the belt pulley on the agitator. NOTE:
There is a place for the belt to fit on one end of the agitator
only. After assembling the belt, place the agitator back into the
nozzle housing by aligning each end cap.
After completing the assembly, rotate the brush, turning it
by hand to assure that it rotates smoothly and the part is
assembled correctly.
