That model you have there is a 1978. This is the first year that the motor housing went over to plastic switching from 2 fan housing screws to 4. The same basic two piece motor with the armature being separate from the field coil was used right from the beginning but this changed over in 1979 to an all in one GS electric motor. The bag is easily removed from the cleaner by unscrewing the top white plastic retainer piece which will separate from the middle portion. You then just slide this off the cord. Next go to the bottom of the bag on the back side and you will see a small screw back there that connects the skinny white metal band which holds the lower portion to the base. Remove the screw with a pair of pliers very carefully and using a screw driver gently pry the bag off the plastic retainer assembly. The bag will now slide right off just like the top screw on retainer. I have washed loads of these bags with the fells naphtha soap with excellent results but be sure to turn the bag inside out first and vacuum the loose dirt. Keep the bag inside out and rub the soap up and down the entire bag. Using a bristle brush gently scrub the bag back and forth working up and down until you see the dirty brown start to look lighter. Wash out all the remaining soap and dirt several times and them let the bag air dry over night. Do not dry the bag in the dryer as it will shrink causing problems when it comes time to re-install the bag. That's it. When fully dry you will notice nearly twice the suction and lots more air flow. When fully gone through these brooms have very good air flow and have fantastic pick up capability.

Thank you!! I didnt try holding the bag, I just tried holding the inner ring. The bag seems oretty snug up there, does it just slip off? or does it like screw off the threads? |

The clamp at the bottom is holding tension on the bag, so once you loosen the clamp you can slide the bag upwards over the handle and cord. Mark |

If you check out the first picture posted by Nick take a look at the very bottom of the bag right above the white plastic lip. There is a skinny white metal band that goes around the entire bag bottom. On the back side is a small screw that holds the band in place. Remove the screw and then gently pry the bag off. You do not have to remove the cord and switch or handle to get the bag off if you don't want to. Depending on the decade in which your broom was made any 1979 or older model can have the switch and cord easily removed from the cleaner to get the bag off easier. All you have to do is remove the tiny screw on the lower side of the switch plate, pop the switch off which will reveal wires with three twist connectors. Simply untwist the two wire connectors coming out of the handle and the entire switch and cord will come away from the broom. If you don't want to do this simply slide the bag up and off the upper handle and through the entire cord. Note- you may want to have another vacuum handy when doing this as there will be dust bunnies hiding in the upper portion of the bag dropping all over the place.

Never seen a set of attachments to use the ElectrikBroom as a "Canister"Wouldn't think it would work to well for that.The small suction fan and small motor.And what happens if it ingests a coin,pebble,or nail? |
