- Undo and remove the 9 screws (T15) -
C
in the upper housing (item 8). You will require a screwdriver with a 14.5 cm-long shank for this. Srewdriver 4322 009 08490 can be used.
- The component configuration shown in the exploded view may differ in case of specific versions. The components are distinguished by means of code numbers.
- When the repair is finished, check whether all functions of the appliance work properly.
- To disassemble the cord winder, use TORX screwdriver no. T10, which is one of a set consisting of T20; T15; T10; T9; T8; T7 and T6 (code number 4822 395 50145).

REPAIR INSTRUCTION
- Item 4, cotton dustbag, is used in countries in which paper dustbags are not available.
- If the reel half spring unit is replaced, shaft A must be lubricated with silicone grease. Do not apply any silicone grease to or spill any grease on terminals (43) or conductors (42).
- Item 40 is provided with a long cord-winder spring, but both long and short cords can be used in combination with this spring. (L = 9.3 m)
- Depending on the original cord, the spare cord must be shortened to the length of the original cord.
- The cord winder spring must be tensioned to the maximum level and then be rewound approx. 1.5 turn
- Item 13, air valve, opens to cool the motor if the air displacement is too low or if the airflow is blocked.
- If the function of the electronic control unit (item 12) is not required, the Triac must be short-circuited in the manner shown in the circuit diagram.
- When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust the pores of the dustbag may become clogged, causing the passage of air through the dustbag to become obstructed. As a result, the dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the dustbag needs to be replaced, eventhough the dustbag is not full at all.
- Due to introduction of a new switch (item 11) 0320 onwards, which is not interchangable with the old switch soldered on the PCB (item 12).
- The switch lever assy (item 11a) is also modified.
