OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following operating instructions
carefully. They will help you to get the best
performance from this professional quality
vacuum cleaner and to maintain it in optimum
condition.
Follow these simple steps for easy and
effective operation of the Backpack vacuum.
Open the lid and ensure that the cloth bag is
correctly located and the flexible ring provides
a proper seal when the lid is closed. For
optimum performance, filtration and maximum
hygiene, it is advisable to use a paper vacuum
bag in addition to the standard cloth bag.
If a paper vacuum bag is used, simply insert
it into the cloth bag, making sure that the
cardboard disk is centered on the flexible
sealing ring. When you replace the lid, the
short nozzle in the center of the lid will be
forced into the central hole of the cardboard
disk of the paper vacuum bag thus providing a
tight seal. Make sure the paper vacuum bag is
tightly secured over the short nozzle before
vacuuming.
Lock the lid down with the two latches. Always
ensure that the cloth vacuum bag is empty and
the paper bag is no more than 1/2 full before
vacuuming. The Backpack vacuum has been
fitted with a thermal overload switch to protect
the motor against damage should the airflow
be blocked for extended periods. This may
occur if the vacuum bag is overfull, the cloth
filter bag is clogged or if the vacuum hose or
exhaust is blocked. The vacuum motor will
stop before it can get too hot. If this happens,
empty and thoroughly clean the vacuum bag
and HEPA filter or free any blockage and
ensure that adequate airflow is restored. After
the motor has cooled to a safe operating
temperature, locate the thermal reset switch
on the bottom of the unit and push it back in.
There will be a slight audible click. Now the
motor will restart.
1. The vacuum hose is fitted into the cuff in the
lid. It should not be necessary to remove the
hose in normal operation.
2. Ensure the extension cord is wrapped
around the cord retainer with 6 inches of
cord from the retainer to the end of the plug.
Then plug the extension cord to the vacuum
cleaner’s power cord.
*Do not wrap the vacuum cleaner’s power cord
in the cord retainer.*
3. Place the Backpack vacuum on your back,
adjust the shoulder straps until you feel
comfortable and then tighten the waist belt.
The Backpack vacuum is designed to ride
higher on your back for maximum comfort.
4. Plug the cord into a 110 volt, grounded
outlet. Always unwind the cord completely
before vacuuming. It is important to maintain
the power cord in good condition. This unit
ships with a 50' 16/3 SJT conductor SJT
extension cord. Always use a 16/3 SJT
extension cord when operation this unit. Use
care when pulling the cord around sharp
edges and through doorways. Never operate
the Backpack vacuum if the power cord is
damaged in any way.
5. Attach the extension wand to the hose and
fit the floor tool or any of the other vacuuming
accessories on the wand.
6. Turn the vacuum on. The toggle switch is
located on the switch box. You may clip the
switch box to the waist belt.
7. After you finish cleaning, turn off the main
power switch and unplug the extension cord
from the wall outlet. Then starting from the
Backpack vacuum, wrap up the extension cord
to store. Be careful not to pull or yank on the
vacuum cleaner’s power cord.
