Routine Care & Maintenance
This Turbine Powerhead has been engineered for higher performance, quieter operation and superior cleaning ability. It has been carefully designed and manufactured for long life, reliable performance and convenient cleaning. It requires no electricity because it runs off the airflow of your central vacuum system. The Turbine Powerhead moves easily and does not require downward pressure for thorough cleaning. As with any tool with moving parts, caution must be exercised while using this Turbine Powerhead.
Please read and save these Operating Instructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
| 1. | Keep hair, hands and feet away from rotating brush while the Turbine Powerhead is running. |
| 2. | Remember
that Turbine Powerheads operate whenever they are connected to a
running vacuum. If children are present, make sure to turn vacuum system
off when leaving Powerhead unit unattended. |
| 3. | Do not attempt to service or unclog Turbine Powerhead while unit is running. |
Instruction for this Turbine Powerhead
[A] ATTACHING THE TURBINE POWERHEAD
To attach your metal wands, ZAS041 (Only use non-buttonlock lower wand!) simply
insert wand into Powerhead neck until it fits snugly. The built-in,
locking mechanism will prevent the wand from coming loose. To detach
wand, depress wand release tab on the back of the neck with foot or hand
and twist wand free. (See Figure. 1 & 2)
HINT: Do not insert button-lock lower wand with the Turbine Powerhead neck. It will get jammed and you will not be able to take it apart.
The wand can be locked in
an upright position by pushing it forward until the lock is engaged.
This lock position is convenient for storage and lifting the Powerhead.
To release wand from the vertical locked position, gently place foot on
Powerhead, grasp wand and pull back. (See Figure. 3)
[B] OPERATING PROCEDURES
Your Turbine Powerhead runs off the airflow of your vacuum system. It has no ON/OFF switch. Whenever it is attached to an operating vacuum system, it will be running. No adjustments to the powerhead are necessary for different types of carpeting.
To ensure maximum efficiency of the Turbine Powerhead, make sure that any filters, bags and cleaning hoses in your vacuum system are clean and free of blockage.
Avoid picking up water or spilled liquid with your Turbine Powerhead.
The vacuum system is designed for dry pick up only!
[C] CLEANING ROLLER BRUSH
Turn off vacuum system
and disconnect Powerhead. Threads, string, carpet fiber, fuzz and
similar items may become wound around the beater brush. These should be
removed by unwinding them by hand or carefully cutting with scissors.
Keeping the beater brush clean will maintain efficiency. (See Figure. 4)
[D] REMOVING CLOGS
Follow these steps if the turbine becomes obstructed:
| 1. | Turn off vacuum system and disconnect the Powerhead |
2. | Remove the clear belt cover by turning the Powerhead over and rotating the two latches until they align with the openings in the belt cover. Remove the belt cover. |
| 3. | Remove debris from the intake or turbine. Rotate brush to
ensure the system is clear. Ensure the orange seal on the belt cover
and mating surfaces are clean before reinstalling the belt cover. |
| 4. | To reinstall the belt cover, simply insert the front of
the belt cover under the baseplate edge and lower into its original
position. |
| 5. | Secure the belt cover in place by turning the two latches to the lock position. |
