Put Kirby Tech-Drive into "N" position and lift the Kirby nozzle all the way up when pushing it over your floors (nozzle has a metal frame so it may scratch the floor).įor the best results, the height of the nozzle must be adjusted properly. If you leave it in gear and shut it off the wheels do not spin so it is HARD to push and pull when it is OFF and IN GEAR. Kirby is like a car with a manual transmission. If air can not escape, Kirby will loose suction on the other end. Otherwise dirt will cover the exhaust and obstruct the airflow. So if you do not install it correctly (pressing all the way towards the unit) the motor simply does not turn on.Ĭhange bag whenever dirt reaches the line (see picture below). There is a switch that shuts off the motor if you take the bag off. Over 90% of Kirby vacuum owners who call to complain that Kirby does not work have bag assembly installed improperly. More information on that is in our Online Kirby Manual.
KIRBY VACUUM AIRFLOW TECHNOLOGY HOW TO
You have to know how to install the brush and how to properly attach the nozzle to the unit.
Make sure belt is intact and brush roll is spinning when you are vacuuming. Keep the brush roll clean and free of hair or carpet threads. Do not use it on wet surfaces, absolutely no wet pickup!!! Do not vacuum concrete or driveway with the nozzle - brush bristles will wear out in no time. The motor is NOT insulated so sparks may ignite flammable fumes, sawdust (if you sawed off one 2x4 this is not a problem but do not use it in a carpenter shop). Air that cools the Kirby vacuum motor is not filtered so using it in an extremely dusty environment may damage the motor. Vacuum what you would routinely vacuum in a house - floors, carpets, rugs, furniture, car, walls, blinds.ĭo not use Kirby vacuum in construction - you may ruin brush roll, fan blade, clog outer bag.
Nozzle height adjustment REALLY works (not like in any other vacuum).
