1.2.1 - Install Outer Bag
|
Picture 1
Align the bump on the plastic portion of the bag assembly (Called Bag Mini Emptor) with the bump on the aluminum part of the fan case on the main unit.
Lower the bag down over the exhaust.

|
Picture 2
Press the bag plastic part (Mini-Emptor) towards the unit to lock it into the place.
VERY IMPORTANT !!!
Push the mini emptor to the unit as far as it can go so it will press the safety switch (see pictures below). The unit will not operate if the bag is not properly installed.
This is the #1 reason why your Kirby vacuum may not work.

This is the safety switch that prevents Kirby vacuum from spitting clouds of dust into the air if you accidentally forgot to install the bag or it is not installed properly.

Bag top latch simply locks in the plastic portion of the handle just like the seat belt in your car. To release it - simply push where it says "PUSH".
