I have a couple of questioms about the Kirby Heritage 2 from our church. 1. can it be used without a paper bag inside the cloth one? (our church has a limited budget and we dont have a vac shop in town)(I have also tried using Hoover A bags and cutting the hole bigger,the top of the bag blew out) 2. how far should the brush be adjusted out from the bottom plate? THANK YOU!!!!

On the Heritage 2
1. It can, but it will be a mess to empty. I would replace the Mini-EmTor with a true Sani-EmTor to make it easier. One from a Classic, Classic Omega, or Classic III would be perfect. 2. The brushroll should be adjusted so that when you run a credit card across the rug plate, it just barely scrapes the bristles. Hope this helps. | ||

Kirby HII & Dustin...
Hello Dustin. Doug is correct, in that it will cause havoc with the zipper. As Joe mentioned, you could put one of the pocket bags onto an older Sani-Emtor. Pocket bags are still available in the original colors of the 1HD, 3CB & 2CB. Now a black corduroy bag is for use on the 562 thru the 1CB. (Presently the D80 [[green]] bag is still available. (My hunch is until stock is depleted, as when I place my orders, they [[Kirby]] refer to the 'new black bag' as the replacement for pre-1976.) As for the bristles' setting, they should protrude ¨û" out beyond the rug plate surface. Hope this helps. Cheers & hagd all. Bill | ||
