The Windsor Industries Upright Vacuum, Model Number: SR-12, is a cleaning device designed for household or commercial use, featuring a range of functionalities and user-friendly maintenance features.

Function Description

The SR-12 is an upright vacuum cleaner primarily designed for dry vacuuming. It utilizes a brush/section head (9) for agitating and lifting dirt from surfaces, which is then collected into a paper filter bag. The vacuum is equipped with a telescopic handle (11) and a hose (12) for extended reach and versatility. It also includes various attachments such as an attachment tube (15), crevice nozzle (16), and upholstery nozzle (17) to cater to different cleaning needs. The device features a foot pedal (18) for operational control and a carrying handle (13) for easy transport.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific power ratings and motor specifications are not detailed in the provided document, the vacuum's design indicates a focus on efficient dirt collection and ease of use. The use of paper filter bags suggests a dry vacuuming system. The inclusion of a micro hygiene filter (30) and an exhaust filter (32) points to a multi-stage filtration system, designed to capture fine dust particles and ensure cleaner exhaust air. The brush roller (35) is a key component for effective cleaning, particularly on carpets.

Usage Features

The SR-12 is designed for intuitive operation. The on/off switch (2) is located on the handle assembly (3) for convenient access. The telescopic handle grip (11) allows users to adjust the handle height for comfortable operation. The hose (12) and various nozzles provide flexibility for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, upholstery, and crevices. The device also features a red light indicator (Figure 1 - d) to signal when the paper filter bag needs changing, simplifying routine maintenance. The brush roller can be easily changed, allowing for adaptation to different floor types or replacement when worn.

Maintenance Features

The SR-12 incorporates several features to facilitate easy maintenance and ensure optimal performance:

Paper Filter Bag Replacement: When the red light (Figure 1 - d) illuminates, the paper filter bag needs changing. This process involves pulling the cover release (5) forward, lifting the cover from the dust bag housing (6), sliding the dust bag sealing plate (28) from its holder (29), inserting a new bag, and then reassembling the cover.
Micro Hygiene Filter Replacement: The micro hygiene filter (30) should be changed when clogged or after approximately 20 paper bags have been used. To replace it, the cover is removed, the old filter is slid out from the bottom, and a new filter is inserted by lifting a lever.
Exhaust Filter Replacement: After 20 paper bags have been used, the exhaust filter (32) also needs changing. This involves pushing the catch (33) backward, removing the filter cover (34), inserting a new filter, and replacing the cover.
Brush Roller Replacement: To change the brush roller (35), the user pushes a button (36), removes the side plate (37), turns the brush clockwise a quarter turn, and pulls it out. A new brush roller is then slid into the housing, turned until it locates, and the side plate is pressed back into place.
Blockage Checks:
- Underneath the Machine: An inspection door (38) is located underneath the machine to check for blockages. Pressing down the catch on the door opens it. The stainless steel bottom plate (42) can be removed by unscrewing holding straws to clean out the brush roller housing.
- Neck Blockages: Blockages in the neck (20) can be checked by first lifting off the dust bag housing (6) by pressing the catch (8), then releasing the foot pedal (18), lowering the neck, and checking the tube next to the pedal.
- Hose Blockages: Hose blockages can be cleared by detaching the hose from the machine, reattaching it the wrong way around in the connecting tube (26), holding it upright, blocking the top with one hand, and switching on the machine. Quickly lifting the hand on and off the end of the hose can assist in clearing the blockage.

A crucial note on maintenance is that the guarantee is invalidated if parts not approved by WINDSOR, such as bags, filters, or brush rollers, are fitted. This emphasizes the importance of using genuine replacement parts to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the SR-12 vacuum cleaner.
