The Perfect P101 is a commercial upright vacuum cleaner designed for effective cleaning of various types of carpeting and floors. This manual provides essential information on its assembly, operation, maintenance, and warranty.
Function Description:
The Perfect P101 is a powerful commercial upright vacuum cleaner intended for professional use. Its primary function is to efficiently remove dirt, dust, and debris from carpeted surfaces and hard floors. The vacuum features a rotating agitator brush that helps dislodge embedded dirt from carpets, ensuring thorough cleaning. It is designed for ease of use and durability in commercial settings.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific technical specifications like motor wattage, airflow, or brush speed are not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts, the vacuum is described as a "commercial upright vacuum cleaner," implying robust construction and performance suitable for demanding environments. It utilizes a cloth bag or dust cup for dirt collection, which is a common feature in commercial vacuums for larger capacities and reusability. The vacuum includes an extra drive belt, indicating a belt-driven brush roll system, which is typical for upright vacuums.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The vacuum requires assembly upon receipt. This involves attaching the upper and lower handles, securing them with nuts and bolts, and installing the plastic cord hooks. The handle is designed to curve towards the back of the vacuum for proper ergonomics. The cloth bag or dust cup also needs to be installed by aligning it with the back of the vacuum, securing the bag collar with a latch onto a rivet, and attaching a spring from the bag to the upper cord hook for support.
- Handle Adjustment: The handle can be adjusted back and forth using a wide area foot release pedal. This allows the user to position the handle for comfortable operation and to clean underneath furniture. There are multiple handle lock positions: a standard upright lock, a 1st press with foot position, and a 2nd press with foot position, offering flexibility for different cleaning tasks and storage.
- On/Off Switch: The vacuum is activated by a foot-operated power switch located on top of the heavy-duty metal hood. Pressing it once turns the vacuum on, and pressing it again turns it off.
- Cord Storage: The power cord can be wrapped around the cord hooks to prevent unwinding and ensure tidy storage.
- Carpet Pile Height Adjustment: The vacuum features an "Electric Large, Easy to Turn Adjustment Knob" for setting the carpet pile height. This knob allows the user to match the vacuum's height to different carpet types, from low plush to high plush. The recommended settings are:
- "high" for low plush carpet
- "normal" for medium plush carpet
- "low" for high plush carpet
The adjustment should be made when the vacuum is off and unplugged. If the vacuum is difficult to push during operation, the user should turn it off, unplug it, and adjust the dial to the next setting until comfortable movement and effective cleaning are achieved.
Maintenance Features:
- General Maintenance: The manual emphasizes the importance of disconnecting the vacuum from the electrical outlet before any servicing. Routine maintenance includes checking the bag, belt, and brush roll.
- Clear Fan Chamber: The removable clear fan chamber allows the user to observe and address any obstructions, dirt buildup, broken fan, or broken belt. It is recommended that a qualified vacuum repair specialist address any major maintenance issues.
- Emptying the Cloth Bag: To empty the cloth bag, the user needs to:
- Unlock the spring from the top clip.
- Unlatch the bag from the vacuum.
- Remove the slide and spring from the top of the cloth bag.
- Empty the contents into an appropriate container.
- Put the slide and spring back on the top of the cloth bag.
- Reinstall the cloth bag back on the vacuum.
The manual advises frequent emptying of the bag, especially when picking up very fine materials or powders, as these can clog the cloth bag and reduce cleaning efficiency.
- Brush Roll Belt Replacement: The manual provides detailed instructions for replacing the brush roll belt:
- Turn the vacuum upside down and unlock the metal bottom plate.
- Remove the belt from the pulley.
- Lift up the brush roll and remove it from the vacuum, then take off the old belt.
- Put the new belt on the center of the brush roll.
- Set the brush roll back in place in the vacuum and align the belt with the belt guide.
- Pull the belt over the pulley and rotate the pulley to ensure smooth movement on the motor pulley.
- Put the bottom plate back on and lock it in with both locks.
A warning is given that belt pulleys can become hot during normal use, and caution should be exercised when servicing the drive belt to prevent burns. Improper installation of the brush roll or brush roll belt can cause carpet or cleaner damage.
Important Safeguards:
The manual lists critical safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the appliance:
- Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
