to remain in just one place for a  
long period of time as the agitator  
may damage the floor surface.  
NEVER place the vacuum cleaner  
on furniture, the fringed area of  
rugs, deep pile carpeting or

for some reason the vacuum cleaner  
should overheat, the thermostat will  
automatically turn the unit off. Should  
this occur:  
Push the On/Off button once.  
• Disconnect the plug from the  
power source.  
• Check the source of overheating  
problem. (i.e. clogged hose or  
filter)

unclog the hose and replace the  
filters.  
• Wait at least 45 minutes before  
attempting to reuse the vacuum.

Maintenance & Care  
3. Changing the Filters:  
4. Changing the Power Nozzle Belt:  
A) Occasionally the power nozzle  
drive belt will require changing,  
the frequency will depend upon  
the amount of use your vacuum  
sees.  
For best cleaning results, the dust bag  
should be changed often. The use of  
powder carpet fresheners can decrease  
the effectiveness of the dust bag  
filtering system by clogging the bag and  
not allowing air to flow though properly.  
We recommend that hard objects, pins,  
broken glass, paper clips, etc. be  
picked up from the floor before  
vacuuming. Although, your vacuum will  
pick them up, they could do severe  
damage to the vacuum.  
Use genuine Shark Trailblazer dust  
bags, belts and filters only to insure top  
performance from your vacuum.  
A) This is best done every three  
months or depending on the  
amount of usage.  
B) Remove the front panel of the  
vacuum cleaner.  
C) The post filter is facing the front  
of the unit on the bottom and  
the pre-motor filter is located  
underneath the bag. To remove  
the post motor filter, pull the  
locking tab on the right and it  
will snap out. To remove the  
pre-motor filter, simply slide it  
out.  
D) To clean the filters rinse in  
warm, soapy water. Filters  
must by completely air dried for  
24 hours before re-installing  
into your vacuum.  
B) Turn unit “Off” and unplug from  
wall outlet.  
C) Use a Phillips screwdriver and  
remove the two screws from the  
back of the motorized power  
head cover. (Fig. 9)  
D) Remove the two screws from  
the bottom of the motorized  
power head. (Fig. 10)

F) Grasp the beater bar at either  
end and lift straight up.  
1. Changing the Dust Bag:  
Your vacuum comes with both paper  
bags and a reusable cloth bag. To  
change bags:  
E) Once filters have been  
replaced, replace front panel.  
G) Place one end of new belt over  
motor shaft and the other on  
the round pulley end of the  
beater bar. (Fig. 11)  
H) Align the rubber supports at the  
ends of the beater bar, with the  
slots in the motorized power  
head. Push into place. Ensure  
that the cut-outs on the rubber  
supports face upwards.  
I) Replace the two screws from  
the bottom of the motorized  
power head and then replace  
the cover. Then replace the  
two screws from the back side  
of the motorized power head.

the clip back onto the bottom  
edge of the dust bag.  
Please Note: If you are using the cloth  
dust bag, you should wash the  
pre-motor filter in lukewarm water  
once or twice a year. Always let  
the pre-motor filter air dry  
C) Remove the old dust bag by  
holding the cardboard tab and pull  
towards you. Remove carefully to  
avoid dust/dirt spilling from dust  
bag. (Fig. 5 & Fig. 6))  
D) Take a new dust bag and while  
holding the cardboard tab push the  
bag over the opening of the dirt  
discharge tube until it is seated  
against the rear of the enclosure.  
(Fig. 7)
