A. Full Bag Indicator (FBI) Comes On Too Soon or Not At All
If the light comes on too soon, the bag may be full or contain ne particles such as drywall dust or talc.
If the light does not come on at all, the bag may be full of uffy material.
If replacing the bag does not solve these problems, the sensor may need to be adjusted as follows:
Testing the Full Bag Indicator:
1. Run the vacuum for ve minutes to warm it up. Make sure the bag is new and the lters are clean.
2. With the wand kept in the stowed position, turn the tools activation dial/rotational valve handle to the “Tools ON” position.
3. The full bag indicator should illuminate within 18-23 seconds after turning the dial to the “Tools ON” position.
4. If the indicator comes on sooner or slower than 18-23 seconds (or not at all), the sensitivity may need to be adjusted.
Adjusting the Full Bag Indicator:
1. Unplug the power cord, remove the dust cover, and lay the vacuum at.
2. Locate the two plugs on the right side of the motor cover. (See Figure M. Agitator/brushroll Jam Screw - FBI Screw Position)
3. Remove the left plug from the motor cover. A gray colored adjustment screw should be visible through the hole.
4. The slot of the screw should be in the “Ten o’clock” position. If not, adjust it to the “Ten o’clock” using a small at-headed screwdriver that
ts through the hole.
NOTE: Be careful not to apply pressure while making the adjustment.
5. Reassemble the vacuum and retest it to ensure it is operating properly.
6. If the problem still exists, or if the screw is already adjusted to “Ten o’clock”, make gradual adjustments (approximately “one hour” incre-
ments or less). Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to make it less sensitive (LED turns yellow slower), and clockwise to make it
more sensitive (LED turns yellow faster). It is important to make small adjustments and test the vacuum after each adjustment.
7. Retest the vacuum after each adjustment using the above procedures until the FBI comes on within 18-23 seconds.
