This appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the appliance is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this appliance.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-ground-
ing conductor can result in a 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 appliance. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The replacement or repair of damaged wiring should only be
performed by a qualified electrician or service engineer from
the original distributor or authorized service agent

Handle Adjustments
How to Change the Filters
The handle on this vacuum cleaner can be set to one of three positions – upright, middle or low.
How to Adjust the Handle
1. To release the handle, step on the foot pedal release on the left rear corner
of the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 1).
2. Upright position – for when cleaning tools are being used or for storage (Fig. 2).
Handle locks in this position.
3. Middle position – for normal cleaning (Fig. 3).
4. Low position* – for cleaning under furniture (Fig. 4).
* Once the vacuum is in the middle position, press the foot pedal again
and recline the handle further to place the vacuum in the low position.
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a secondary filter and a HEPA media
filter. These filters capture fine dust particles and protect the motor from dirt. It is
important to change the filters regularly — approximately once a year, or as needed.
To Change the Secondary Filter
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Lift the latch to remove the bag compartment
cover and remove the bag.
2. Remove the secondary filter and replace with a new filter (Fig. 5).
3. Replace the bag and bag compartment cover.
To Change the HEPA Media Filter
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Lift the latch to remove the bag compartment cover.
2. Remove the HEPA media filter from the front of the bag compartment (Fig. 6).
3. Insert a new filter and replace the bag compartment cover.

Automatic Self-Adjusting Nozzle
Your 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 carpet pile height. This self-adjusting feature
allows the nozzle to float evenly over all carpet pile surfaces.
Model T4000
For carpet cleaning, slide the carpet/floor selector towards the back of the nozzle so that it reads “CARPET”.
Model T4000
To prevent the brushroll from spinning when cleaning bare floors
or when tools are in use, slide the carpet / floor selector toward
the front of the nozzle so that it reads “Tools”.

How to Clean the Nozzle Hose
Fig. 1
CAUTION:
Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
The nozzle hose carries the dirt from the nozzle to the vacuum bag.
If the hose should become clogged:
1. Remove the wand from the wand/hose holder as shown on page 10.
2. Squeeze the tabs on both sides of the quick clean-out port and pull
away from the vacuum (Fig. 1)
3. Check above and below the port opening for obstructions.

Thermal Fuse Protection
Your vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a Manual Reset Thermal Fuse Protector. This thermal
protector is designed to protect your vacuum cleaner from overheating due to a cutoff in airflow (i.e. clogged
hose, operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this situation occur, the thermal fuse protector will safely shut
off your vacuum cleaner to avoid any potential damage.
To reset the thermal fuse
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
2. Check for problem (over-filled bag, clog in hose, clogged filters, etc.).
3. Correct problem.
4. Locate “tripped” fuse — the small red or white button located on the lower left side on the back of the main
body (roughly one inch to the right of the left wheel).
5. Using a pencil, paper clip, or other pointy object, push the reset button.
6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and begin using.

Troubleshooting
For Best Performance
• Keep machine and all accessories clean and in good operating condition.
• Change vacuum bags when they are 2/3 full to maintain optimum cleaning efficiency.
• Change filters when dirt is visible on them or every six months if someone in your home suffers from allergies.
Otherwise, once a year should do for replacing the filters.
• Always use genuine bags, filters and parts, as use of other products may result in poor cleaning or filtration
performance. Titan filtration products are designed for maximum performance.
• Store machine carefully in dry area.
• For optimum cleaning performance and safety, follow your owner’s manual.
