To assemble the Shark Navigator Lift Away CU500 Vacuum, attach the wand to the floor nozzle, then connect the handle to the top of the wand. Secure the dust cup by aligning it with the main body and clicking it into place.
If the vacuum loses suction, check for blockages in the hose and filters. Clean or replace the filters if necessary, and ensure that the dust cup is empty and properly attached.
It is recommended to clean the pre-motor foam and felt filters every three months and the HEPA filter once a year. Rinse them with water and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
The brush roll may not spin if it is obstructed by debris or if the vacuum is not in the correct mode. Ensure the vacuum is in the correct carpet setting and check for any debris around the brush roll.
Yes, the Shark Navigator CU500 is suitable for hardwood floors. Use the hard floor setting to deactivate the brush roll and prevent scratching.
To detach the canister, press the lift-away button on the side of the vacuum and pull the canister upward to separate it from the floor base for portable cleaning.
Store the vacuum in an upright position in a cool, dry place. Ensure the cord is wrapped neatly, and no parts are obstructing the air flow.
To clean the dust cup, press the release button to remove it, empty the contents into a trash bin, and rinse it with water if necessary. Make sure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
A loud noise could be due to a blockage or debris caught in the brush roll. Check all hoses and the brush roll for obstructions and clear any debris found.
To replace the belt, unplug the vacuum and remove the screws on the bottom of the floor nozzle. Lift the cover, remove the old belt from the brush roll and motor shaft, and install the new belt by reversing the process.
