Function

2.1

Bags

A clean bag is essential to the maximum efficiency of the vacuum. A clogged
bag can cause restricted airflow resulting in poor suction or, in extreme
cases, an overheat condition can occur resulting in the vacuum shutting off.
Changing the bag is relatively easy; the most important thing to remember is
to use the correct bag. A list of bags and the models in which they are used
can be found in the product line information in the operating manual.

Bag Change Indicator

Figure 020-1: Bag Change Indicator

To test the bag change indicator:
1. Connect the floor attachment to the suction hose.
2. Switch on the vacuum cleaner.
3. Set the selector to full power.
4. Lift the floor attachment from the floor. If the window in the bag change
indicator is completely red, then the bag must be changed. See Section
020-4.7 for instructions.
The display function is set for mixed dust (dust, hairs, threads, carpet fluff,
sand, etc.).
If large quantities of fine dust (e.g., from drilling holes in masonry, fine sand,
etc.) are vacuumed, the bag pores are quickly blocked. The bag change
indicator then indicates "full" even though it is not actually full. However, the
bag should still be replaced.
If large quantities of hair, carpet fluff, etc., are vacuumed, the indicator might
not react until the bag is stuffed full.
