Attaching the Handle to the Vacuum
NOTE: Do not plug in the vacuum until it is
completely assembled.
The vacuum cleaner and the handle are
packed separately and require assembly.
• Thread the cord through the lower and upper
cord guides on the back of the vacuum bag (Fig. 1).
• Remove the handle bracket by removing the
two screws (Fig. 2).
• Place handle onto the back of the vacuum,
aligning holes with pegs (Fig. 3).
• Place the handle bracket back into position (Fig. 4).

around the top and bottom cord hooks. Fasten
the plug to the wrapped cord using the channel
on the plug.
Unwinding the Power Cord
• The lower cord hook rotates to allow for
quick access to the power cord. Turn the
lower cord hook upward and you can quickly
drop the power cord to the floor without
unwinding it from the cord hooks.
• When storing the vacuum cleaner, turn the lower
cord hook to the downward position and wind the
power cord around the cord storage hooks.

Reclining the Handle
• Press the handle release pedal located on the
back of the vacuum with your foot to recline the
handle (Fig. 1).
On/Off Switch
• The power switch located on the vacuum handle, is a
three-way switch (Fig. 2). The middle position is the
“Off” setting, the rear position is the “On” setting and
the forward position is for “Maximum Power” (Fig. 3).
• Use the “Maximum Power” setting for carpet cleaning.
Use the “On” setting for cleaning bare floors and throw
rugs. Always turn the vacuum cleaner to the “Off”
setting 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, from the user’s
perspective, 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 automatically adjusts to the
flooring surface. This self-adjusting feature allows the
nozzle to float evenly over all flooring surfaces.
Bare Floor Cleaning
Your vacuum is equipped with a squeegee on the bottom
of the vacuum to improve its effectiveness in cleaning
bare floors (Fig. 4). When cleaning tile, hardwood, vinyl,
etc., use the “On” setting for best results.

Power Cord Care
• If the cord or plug has any apparent damage,
refrain from using the vacuum. Please visit an
Authorized Riccar Retailer for a new cord
or plug.
• When the vacuum is in use, hold the cord to
keep from running over it.
• Avoid obstructions and do not pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners.
• Always keep the cord away from heated
surfaces and never close doors on it as this
may cause damage to the wiring.
• To unplug, always grasp the plug, not the cord.
Vacuuming Under Furniture
Your vacuum will lay flat on the floor for effective
cleaning under beds and tables.
• Press the handle release pedal once for normal
vacuum cleaning (Fig. 1).
• Continue to lower the handle to enable the
vacuum to lay flat on the floor (Fig. 2).

the green bag collar into the bag holder
until it “snaps” into place (Fig. 3).
• Push the top of the bag collar upward
until the collar “snaps” into place on
the vacuum (Fig. 4).
• Tuck the bag corners into the bag
compartment then zip the bag
compartment closed.

WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of Electrical
Shock or Injury From Moving Parts, Unplug
Before Servicing or Cleaning.
To Remove the Bottom Plate:
• Press the handle release pedal to place the
vacuum cleaner in the flat position.
• Turn the vacuum cleaner over, exposing the
bottom plate.
• Turn the two screws a quarter turn to release the
bottom plate (Fig. 1). Remove the bottom plate.
• Reinstall the bottom plate by aligning the front
edge of the bottom plate into the notches inside
the nozzle housing (Fig. 2).
• Press the bottom plate into position until the
plate “clicks” on both sides. Tighten the two
screws a quarter turn to secure the bottom plate.

Replacing the Agitator Belt
(Models R10S and R10D only)
WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of Electrical
Shock or Injury From Moving Parts, Unplug
Before Servicing or Cleaning.
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.
• Remove the bottom plate (see page 9).
• Remove the brushroll and the worn or
broken belt from the brushroll pulley and
the motor drive shaft (Fig. 1).
• Loop the new belt around the motor
drive shaft and the brushroll (Fig. 2).
• Reinstall the brushroll into the housing.
Turn the brushroll by hand, making sure
the belt is not twisted and all rotating
parts move smoothly.
• Reinstall the bottom plate (see page 9).
Lifetime Belt Protection Warranty
(Models R10P and R10SAND only)
Your vacuum belt is covered with a lifetime
warranty. Should the vacuum belt break,
simply bring your vacuum to your Authorized
Riccar Retailer for a free replacement.

11
Brushroll Jam Indicator
(Models R10P and R10SAND only)
If an object, such as a throw rug or article of
clothing is ever picked up into your vacuum,
the vacuum will sense this “jammed brushroll”
condition and turn off the brushroll. When this
happens, the Brushroll Jam Indicator light on the
top of the nozzle will flash in red.
• Turn off the vacuum and remove the cause of
the jam. Turn the vacuum back on.
• If the brushroll is free of obstructions and the
Brushroll Jam Indicator light is still flashing,
it’s likely the clogged condition is located in
the vacuum motor fan. If so, please take your
SupraLite to an Authorized Riccar Retailer for
service.

12
Resetting the Circuit Breaker
(Models R10S and R10D only)
WARNING! To Reduce the Risk of Electrical
Shock or Injury From Moving Parts, Unplug
Before Servicing or Cleaning.
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 cleaner 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 page 9) and remove any
debris that may be causing the jam. Reinstall the
bottom plate (see page 9) and reset the circuit
breaker by pressing the Circuit Breaker Reset
Button. Plug in the power cord and turn on the
vacuum. If the vacuum fails to turn on, visit an
Authorized Riccar Retailer for assistance.
Replacing the Squeegee
If your squeegee splits or begins to look worn,
simply slide the worn squeegee from its track
and slide a new one into the track. If you have
trouble installing the new squeegee, please
visit an Authorized Riccar Retailer for help.
Annual Checkup
To keep your vacuum in peak operating
condition, it is recommended you bring
it to an Authorized Riccar Retailer for an
annual checkup. The Retailer will conduct a
comprehensive examination to ensure your
vacuum is in top operating condition.
