To assemble the Vax U86-AL-B, start by attaching the handle to the main body. Ensure it clicks into place. Then, attach the hose and wand, followed by the floor head. Finally, connect the power cord and ensure all parts are securely fitted.
If the vacuum loses suction, check for blockages in the hose, wand, and brush head. Clean or replace the filters if necessary. Ensure the dust container is not full and is properly seated.
It is recommended to clean the filters every 3 months or more frequently if used in high-dust environments. Rinse under warm water and allow to fully dry before reinstalling.
If the brush bar is not rotating, check that the vacuum is on the correct setting for carpets. Ensure there are no obstructions and that the belt is not broken or slipping.
To replace the belt, unplug the vacuum and remove the brush bar cover. Slide off the old belt and loop the new belt around the motor spindle and brush bar. Refit the cover securely.
Regularly empty the dust container, clean the filters, check for blockages, and inspect the brush bar and belt. Store the vacuum in a dry place to prevent damage.
Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Check the vacuum for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Inspect the power switch for any visible damage.
Yes, the Vax U86-AL-BA is suitable for hardwood floors. Use the appropriate setting for hard floors to ensure the brush bar does not rotate and potentially damage the surface.
Remove the dust container from the vacuum, empty it into a trash bin, and rinse it under warm water if necessary. Allow it to dry completely before reattaching it to the vacuum.
If the vacuum overheats, turn it off and unplug it immediately. Check for blockages and clean the filters. Allow the vacuum to cool down for at least 30 minutes before using it again.
