I have a kirby classic CR1 - I'm trying to figure out how to attach the carrying handle. I've got the upright handle off - but can't quite figure out how to get the plastic handle bolted on. There's a metal slide (for the upright handle) that's in the way - doesn't seem to rotate. I'd love a video or closeup showing how the handle goes on.
Jay, wouldn't I think your machine is running at a higher speed due to the safety switch almost being broken or something? Or maybe a worn-out motor field?
(Of course, there's this whining noise I hear as the motor winds down.)
I know it's two-speed and that it would run higher with the hose, but what I meant to say is that to me it is running a bit too high. I'd suspect either a bad field or a clogged ventilating air inlet.
@ClassicTVMan81 Nope. I'm pretty sure it's working properly. The sound may be a bit off because of the camera I was using, but it works fine with both the attachments and the floor nozzle.
This was the original (or at least I believe) bag. It has the Classic Omega patch on it. I've since replaced it with a disposable bag setup from a Heritage II

@ClassicTVMan81 Nope. It has a two speed motor. it runs on low speed when the floor nozzle is attached, high speed when the hose is attached.

Is the bag on this unit original or was it a replacement?

Jay, this issue is confusing as there were three different bag designs made for this model, and two different ones for the Classic III.
On the 1-CB, the first bag was a diamondback (armored) fabric. The second one was pinstriped, and the last one was a throwback to the 1CR.

nope. It has the original cast aluminum fan. Why do you think it has the lexan fan?
general0ne 2 years ago
He was confused due to the pitch and tone of the motor.

I think your Kirby has a white, plastic Lexan fan in it. The original was made of metal

The fan in this vacuum is metal. You're confused because of the tone and pitch of the motor.
ClassicTVMan81 2 years ago
@AdamMichaelMercer The lexan fan would be gray, wouldn't it?

The early ones were, but this vacuum has a true metal fan.
