Operations  
Bag change indicator  
The bag change indicator is located  
below the swivel hose. If the bag  
change indicator turns orange while  
you are vacuuming, the dust bag  
needs to be replaced. The dust bag  
may appear to be full or only par-  
tially full depending upon the type of  
debris picked up. Fine particles can  
block the airflow in the dust bag and  
reduce suction before the dust bag  
is full. If the bag change indicator  
remains orange, even after changing  
the dust bag, turn the vacuum off and  
check for a clog in the hose or tools.
