The Sanitaire SYSTEM_PRO Model S780 is a household-type vacuum cleaner designed for efficient cleaning of various surfaces, including carpets and bare floors, and comes with a range of features for ease of use and maintenance.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Sanitaire SYSTEM_PRO S780 is to pick up dirt and dust particles from household surfaces. It operates with a powerful suction system and a revolving brush roll, making it effective for both general cleaning and more specific tasks like cleaning stairs, corners, and upholstery. The vacuum is designed to trap dirt and dust in a disposable dust bag, while filters ensure that exhaust air is clean. It features a polarized plug for electrical safety, ensuring it fits into outlets correctly to reduce the risk of electric shock. The cleaner is not intended for picking up flammable liquids, burning materials, or sharp objects, which could damage the unit or pose a safety hazard.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific power ratings (e.g., wattage, amperage) are not detailed in the provided manual, the vacuum cleaner is designed for household use and operates on standard electrical power. It utilizes a cogged, non-stretch drive belt for the brush roll, which is a key component for carpet cleaning. The unit incorporates a motor filter and an exhaust filter, both crucial for maintaining air quality and motor longevity. The dust bag is a disposable "Style SL" (Part No. 61125), and its capacity and material are designed to optimize airflow and dirt retention. The cleaner's overall design emphasizes durability and performance for typical household cleaning needs.
Usage Features:
The Sanitaire SYSTEM_PRO S780 offers several user-friendly features:
- 3-Position ON/OFF Switch: This switch allows for versatile cleaning. The top position is "Off," the middle position is for floor cleaning and accessory use (brush roll does not turn), and the bottom position is for carpet cleaning (brush roll turns). This flexibility allows users to adapt the vacuum to different floor types and cleaning tasks.
- Handle Release: The handle can be released from a collapsed position and rotated into an upright position for use. A handle release pedal, located between the two wheels on the back of the cleaner, allows the user to step on it and pull back the handle to find a comfortable operating position. The handle automatically locks into a storage position when rotated upright.
- Handle Collapse Button: For compact storage, the handle can be collapsed from the upright position by pressing the collapse button and rotating the handle down until it latches onto the body.
- Performance Indicator Light: This light illuminates when there is a drop in vacuum performance, signaling the need to check for a full dust bag, dirty filters, or a clog in the brush roll or hose areas. This proactive alert helps users maintain optimal cleaning efficiency.
- Cord Retainer: A cord retainer helps keep the electrical cord out of the way during vacuuming, preventing tangles and ensuring smooth operation.
- Cord Storage Hooks: Two convenient hooks on the handle allow for neat storage of the electrical cord, preventing unwinding.
- Reset Button and Reset Light: If a large object jams the brush roll, the brush roll motor automatically shuts off, and the Reset Light illuminates. Users can then turn off and unplug the unit, clear the debris, press the reset button, and resume cleaning. This feature protects the motor from damage.
- Accessory Use: The vacuum includes a dusting brush and upholstery nozzle, which fit on both the hose and a wand with a built-in crevice tool. The hose elbow rotates for easy attachment use, and it can be disconnected for inspection of blockages. These accessories enable cleaning of furniture, blinds, books, lamps, shelves, corners, baseboards, and between cushions.
Maintenance Features:
Routine maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the Sanitaire SYSTEM_PRO S780, and the manual provides clear instructions:
- Dust Bag Replacement: The disposable dust bag (Style SL, PN 61125) should be changed frequently, especially when vacuuming fine particles like carpet fresheners or plaster dust, even if it doesn't appear full. The process involves removing the front cover, pushing a bag retainer latch, pulling out the used bag, positioning a new bag collar onto the bag rails, pushing it up, and then replacing the front cover.
- Filter Cleaning/Replacement: The motor filter, located below the dust bag, and the exhaust filter, located behind the dust filter grille, should be checked at each dust bag change. If dirty, they can be brushed off into a trash bin or vacuumed with another cleaner, or replaced with new filters. Instructions are provided for removing and replacing both filters, including how to access the exhaust filter by lifting its grille handle and tucking the filter behind retainers.
- Brush Roll Belt Replacement: The manual details a step-by-step process for replacing the brush roll belt. This involves removing 10 screws from the bottom of the power nozzle, flipping it upright, removing the hood, and then carefully replacing the broken belt with a new one, ensuring the teeth engage the cog pulley and the brush roll is properly aligned. The reset button cover and spring must be tracked during this process.
- Brush Roll Cleaning: The brush roll should be checked occasionally for tangled hair or string, which can be removed with scissors to maintain effective carpet brushing. When bristles wear down to about 1/4" in length, the brush roll should be replaced to ensure optimal carpet cleaning.
- General Cleaner Care: The exterior of the vacuum can be wiped with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then thoroughly dried. Chemical cleaners should be avoided as they can damage the unit. The vacuum should be stored in a clean, dry place when not in use.
- No Oiling Required: A critical maintenance note is that the motors and brush roll should never be oiled, as their bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.
The manual also emphasizes safety precautions, such as unplugging the cleaner before any servicing, not operating it without a dust bag, and avoiding touching the hot belt pulley during servicing. It provides contact information for customer service in the USA, Mexico, and Canada for assembly problems, replacement parts, and warranty service. The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for two years, with extended warranties for the upright cleaner base and canister motor.
