Ryan,
Like Will says, the Rug Renovator will not work on machines older than the Dual Sanitronic 50 as that was the first machine to feature that. Why won't it work on Sanitronic VII and models going back to the 516? Just look at the speed switches on both the D50 and your 562/SVII - they're not the same; the Renovator casting's attaching lug won't jibe with the old single-speed switch, nor will the hose or power polisher designed for the D50. Same thing applies to the Classic Omega and later Kirbys: their arm-type speed switches will not accept motor-mounted accessories for the D50/D80/Classic. To make your pre-1965 Sanitronic work with the Renovator - you'll have to go the extra mile and convert the motor internals and fan case to the D50/D80 style, which may not be economical for you. So, just buy a D50 and you'll have the right Kirby to go with the Rug Renovator. ~Ben |
