WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, read the following:
1. Do not leave any ProTeam
®
vacuum plugged in when not in use. Unplug it
from the outlet when the unit is not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not try to recover any liquid with this vacuum. This vacuum is for DRY
RECOVERY only.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments and replacement parts.
5. On commercial units with 18" power supply cords: To prevent electrical
damage, use the recommended 50 foot/16 gauge extension cord provided.
If you need to use a 100 foot cord, it must be 14 gauge or better. DO NOT
use cords longer than 100 feet.
6. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG. If the unit is not working as it
should, or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or exposed to water,
return it to an authorized ProTeam
®
Warranty Station for inspection.
7. Do not pull or carry the vacuum by the cord or use the cord as a handle. Do
not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
8. DO NOT pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp the plug at the outlet and pull.
9. Do not handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.
10. Do not put any objects into openings. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all
parts of the body away from openings and moving parts. Long hair should not
hang over or near the unit.
11. Do not vacuum flammable or combustible materials or anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
12. Empty the Micro Filter after every use and before storage. Some types of wood
dust and debris may catch on fire.
13. Turn off the unit before unplugging.
14. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
15. Use with care when cleaning stairs.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS FOR USE OF POWER NOZZLES
1. Always turn off the vacuum before connecting or disconnecting either the hose
or motorized nozzle.
2. The hose for the power nozzle contains electrical wires. Do not use if damaged,
cut, or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.
3. Read the safety instructions included with the power nozzles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Violation of any of these instructions may void any and all warranties.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Owner’s Manual
INSPECTION
Carefully unpack and inspect your new vacuum for shipping damage. Each unit is
tested and thoroughly inspected before shipping. For instructions regarding any
shipping damage, contact ProTeam
®
immediately. All returns must have a Return
Authorization Number (RAN).
WARNINGS
X DO NOT vacuum with a frayed, worn, or damaged cord.
X DO NOT vacuum liquids or expose the vacuum to rain or water.
X DO NOT vacuum hazardous or toxic materials.
X DO NOT use to pick up flammable or hazardous materials.
MOTOR
AMETEK LAMB electric thru-flow vacuum motors must never be used in applications
in which wet or moist conditions are involved, where dry chemicals or other volatile
materials are present, or where airflow may be restricted or blocked. Such motors
are designed to permit the vacuumed air to pass over the electrical wiring to cool it.
Therefore, any liquid (including water), dry chemical, or other foreign substance
that would come in contact with electrical conductors could cause combustion
(depending on volatility) or electrical shock. Failure to observe these precautions
could result in property damage and severe personal injury, including death in
extreme cases.
ELECTRICAL
Excluding the 220 V motors, vacuum motors operate on a standard 120 volt, 60 Hz,
AC circuit. Severe changes in voltage, high or low, can cause damage to the motor
and premature motor failure. Model numbers and specifications can be obtained by
calling ProTeam
®
.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS—COMMERCIAL-RATED UNITS
COMMERCIAL-RATED VACUUMS MUST BE GROUNDED. If the vacuum should
malfunction or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped
with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground
wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty
on the unit, and ProTeam
®
will accept NO liability associated with the unit.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding connector conductor can result
in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if
you doubt that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the vacuum. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
