On the bottom side of the bag hanger (logo/clip) are two metal tabs -- one on each side. Just reach underneath and bend them down a little. You can then slip the bag off. To remove the Emtor from the bag, simply grip the bottom of the bag and roll it up. The bag springs on the Heritage series are very stiff, so you'll need a little leverage and stability. I achieve that by leaving the Emtor on the vacuum. You can wash the bag in a washing machine. Turn it inside out and vacuum it. Then toss it the washer and wash on cold, gentle cycle using Woolite or other mild laundry detergent. Then hang it up to dry.

When you put the handle on, a pin slides through the handle, then into the bell housing, and then through the other side. The handle spring is on the inside of the bell housing where the handle pin goes through. If it is busted or too loose, the handle itself will feel loose or the handle will simply fall when let go. To repair it, you'll need a special spring winding tool that Kirby sells.

Hello & good morning Nate.
Bill nailed most all of the info above for your Kirby Heritage II. The yoke may be slightly bent out in front; & if its been this way for quite a while, it may have rubbed & worn away on the shell casting. Sometimes the tab can be bent back, this may prove to be only a temporary fix, depending on if & how badly it may be worn. One thing that is not mentioned above, if it's loose, & could be the problem is, the little 'tab' on the handle fork yoke, (what you slip the handle into), may be broken off. (If you'd post a photo or two of it, it may help assist you better.) Hopefully Bill's or Bill's info will help you, Nate. (~~lol~~) Cheers & hagwknd all, Bill Ps: Shoot me an email Nate, & I'll send you my contact info. |
