SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized Plug Information
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Afin de réduire le risque de choc électrique, cet appareil est muni d'une fiche polarisée (une des lames est plus large). Cette fiche ne peut être insérée dans une prise polarisée que d'une seule façon. Si la fiche ne peut être insérée dans la prise, retourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the rocker switch to off (O) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full bag, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does not run, then take it to a Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
CAUTION: Assemble the cleaner before using.
CAUTION: Moving parts. Make sure on/off switch is in off (0) position before plugging in.
NOTE: Features may vary by model yet all parts assemble the same.
Step A Attach Handle
CAUTION: Do not catch cord under handle.
Diagram shows the vacuum cleaner body with a handle being attached. '3 Locations for Screws' indicates where screws will be inserted. 'Grooves' show alignment points.
1. From rear of cleaner, align handle with grooves and slide onto cleaner. If necessary, use thumb and finger pressure to slide handle into position.
2. Attach handle with three 1 inch screws in the assembly packet. Use either a flat or Phillips® head screwdriver.
Step B Store Hose and Accessories
Diagram shows the vacuum cleaner with the hose wrapped around it. Accessories (Crevice Tool, Upholstery Nozzle, Dusting Brush) are shown stored in designated holders. 'Hose Retainer' and 'Nozzle Retainer' are labeled.
3. To store hose. Remove paper holding hose to unit. Lay hose over hose retainer and place nozzle on nozzle retainer.
4. Store tools, crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery nozzle where indicated above.
Step C Check Disposable Dust Bag
Diagram shows the front of the vacuum cleaner with the bag cover open, revealing the 'Bag Adapter' and 'Paper Bag Collar'. 'Bag Cover Latch' is indicated.
5. Remove front cover. Lift bag cover latch up and pull bag cover away from unit.
6. Check to be sure the paper bag collar is secure with the bag adapter inside the paper bag collar.
NOTE: Bag cover will not shut if paper bag is not properly installed.
7. Replace front bag cover. NOTE: See pages 13 & 14 for complete bag installation instructions.
Step D Store Electrical Cord
Diagram shows the rear of the vacuum cleaner with the electrical cord being stored. 'Cord Retainer' and 'Cord Hook' are labeled.
8. You will find your cord retainer on the handle above the upper cord hook. Firmly push the electrical cord down into the cord retainer before using the vacuum. This will place the cord out of the way while you are vacuuming. Remove cord from retainer when ready to store vacuum or when using hose and attachments.
9. Next wind the cord around the two cord hooks on the back of cleaner. The upper cord hook turns to release the cord. Turn the hook up to store the cord.
10. Secure the plug to the cord to prevent unwinding.
HOW TO USE
Diagram shows the top and front of the vacuum cleaner with numbered callouts (1-13) pointing to various parts like Cord Retainer, ON/OFF Switch, Hose/Floor Selector, Cam Latch, Dirt Alert Indicator, Bag Cover Latch, HEPA Filter Door Latch, Handle Release, Stair Handle, Brush Roll Control, Cleaner Height Setting, Headlight. Also shows '15 WIDE PATH' and 'BRUSH CONTROL' indicators.
- Cord Retainer: To use, push electrical cord down into cord retainer.
- ON/OFF Switch: International symbol I means On, International symbol O means Off.
- Hose/Floor Selector: Turn to select hose for above floor cleaning or floor for floor surface cleaning. If cleaning hard floor surface also adjust the cleaner height setting to hard floor.
- Cam Latch: To release clear tubes.
- Dirt Alert Indicator (on some models): The dirt alert sensor uses infra-red technology to indicate whether or not floors are clean. When debris breaks the light beam, the red light comes on indicating additional cleaning is needed in this area. If there is no break in the light beam, the floor is clean and no light will come on. When using your new vacuum you may be cleaning deep down dirt missed by your old vacuum causing the light to stay red longer. With frequent cleaning, after the first few times you use your Eureka vacuum, the red light should go on less. To check if the dirt alert sensor is working properly: A. While the red light is on, tip the vacuum backwards on rear wheels, lifting the brush roll off the carpet a couple of inches. B. After a few seconds the red light should turn off.
- Bag Change Indicator (on some models): Some models feature a bag change indicator to remind you to change the bag. When it is time to change the bag, the bag change indicator will illuminate. Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or fine road dust can restrict airflow very quickly. The fine particles will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. Change the dust bag to restore maximum performance.
- Bag Cover Latch: Pull up on latch to remove bag cover giving access to the dust bag and motor filter. Push on latch to close cover.
- HEPA Filter Door Latch: Squeeze latch and pull out to remove HEPA Filter Door giving access to the HEPA Filter. Push on latch to close door.
- Handle Release: Step on handle release. Pull handle back to a comfortable position.
- Stair Handle: To use when cleaning stairs.
- Brush Roll Control: Flip this lever to choose between cleaning hard floors and carpeting. Brush roll is “off” for hard floors and “on” for carpets. NOTE: When handle is in upright position, brush roll automatically shuts off.
- Cleaner Height Setting: The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum carpet cleaning. If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the carpet for effective cleaning. The optimal hard floor cleaning adjustment is located next to lowest carpet setting. For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels. NOTE: The suction against some types of flooring may require higher cleaner height setting. The Hard Floor setting is recommended, but the actual setting used for your hard floor may need to be adjusted for best performance and ease of movement. WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all other parts of body away from any moving part (such as the revolving brush). Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner before changing the cleaner height setting.
- Headlight:

HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt, and brush roll often.
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns as it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads from the brush roll so it continues brushing the carpet. To maintain the most efficient cleaning, the bristles must touch the carpet. To test the bristle length, hold a ruler against the underneath side of the cleaner. If the bristles no longer touch the ruler, replace the brush roll.
Brush Roll Belt
The brush roll belt turns the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. Check the belt regularly to be sure it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it cracks or tears. Cut away any hair or threads wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.
How To Replace Brush Roll Belt, Part No. 61110
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt. Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid touching the motor shaft when checking the belt.

6. Replace base plate by first inserting all 4 front tabs into slots on base. Rotate down on cleaner and replace 3 screws.
Disposable Dust Bag and Filters
The disposable dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is to trap dirt. As the bag traps dirt, it must also be porous enough to allow air to pass on through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the unit. Change the dust bag and check the filters frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full.
When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filters may require more frequent maintenance.
How To Replace Bags—Style RR Filteraire
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag or the filter.
NOTE: Style RR Filteraire bags must be used to maintain HEPA grade filtration and prolong the life of the HEPA filter.

1. Release front cover latch by lifting up. Pivot bag cover away from cleaner and remove.
NOTE: Bag cover will not shut if paper bag is not properly installed.
2. Pull and hold lever to left, away from bag (A). Grasp cardboard bag collar (C) and pivot collar down until it snaps loose on right side. Remove bag from cleaner and discard.
To Replace Bag:
