WARNING: The following information is for use by qualified service
personnel only and provides guidance for troubleshooting and
maintenance.
Q UNPLUG the vacuum when working on the motor or any electrical part.
Q CHECK the condition of all electrical cords before each use.
Q CHECK the carbon brushes on the motor every six months and replace any
brush worn down to 1/2" in length. If carbon brushes are not checked and
replaced (if necessary) every six months, motor warranty will be void.
Q DO NOT lubricate the motor; it is equipped with sealed bearings.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the vacuum will not operate, check:
a. The power supply cord at the wall outlet.
b. The power supply cord at the vacuum.
c. That the switch is in the “on” position and functioning properly.
2. If the pigtail (18" power cord) is getting warm, check to see that the extension
cord does not exceed a length of 50 feet at 16 gauge or 100 feet at 14 gauge.
Longer cords will overheat and damage the vacuum.
3. If the exhaust that comes out of the bottom of the vacuum is warmer than usual,
check, clean or replace all four filters.
4. If the power switch fails, check the circuit breaker. If that is not the problem,
see a ProTeam
®
Warranty Station.
5. If loss of suction occurs:
a. Check that debris is not plugging the hose, wand, and/or floor tool.
b. Check, clean or replace both Micro and cloth filters.
c. Check that the hose cuffs are fitting tightly on the hose and are not cracked.
d. Check that the cap is properly attached to the vacuum body.
MAINTENANCE OF THE PROTEAM
®
POWER NOZZLE
Q DO NOT OIL. The motor in your power nozzle is permanently lubricated and
sealed. Do not oil the motor at any time.
Q For maintenance of the power nozzle, including instructions for the brush roll,
belt, and brush strips, consult the instructions packaged with the power nozzle.
Q Maintenance instructions for the power nozzle are for use by qualified service
personnel only.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Owner’s Manual
ELECTRICAL CORD CARE
NEVER stretch the cord tightly between the vacuum and the
outlet. A cord that is stretched or pulled will not function
properly and creates a danger.
After vacuuming, unplug the extension cord at both ends and
wind it up loosely (Figure DD). DO NOT wind the cord up by
wrapping it around your hand and elbow.
PROPER STORAGE
When the vacuum is not in use, it should be stored in a dry place.
PROPER VACUUMING MOTION FOR
LARGE AREAS
1. Begin with the wand parallel to your body.
2. Draw the top of the wand in toward your waist and
twist at the waist walking backward or forward
(a side-to-side motion) (Figure EE).
3. The motion is similar to mopping and keeps the upper body and arms from tiring.
ERGONOMICS
Q With the ProVac, Alpine
®
, Sierra
®
, Everest and LineVacer
®
the weight of the
vacuum should be carried on the operator’s hips and be evenly distributed. The
padded waist belt or waist and shoulder straps are adjustable for a custom fit.
Q On the ProVac, Sierra
®
, Everest and LineVacer
®
the ventilated backplate helps keep
the operator cool.
Q The ProClean
™
is lightweight and rolls smoothly to eliminate heavy or difficult
dragging. The weight of the ProClean
™
is very well-balanced for ease in carrying
by the handle.
Q The on/off switch is conveniently placed for easy access on the waist belt of the
backpack vacuums, on the left side of the Alpine
®
body, and on the top of the
canister on the ProClean
™
. On the ProTeam
®
Power Nozzle, the on/off switch is on
the handle of the electrified hose.
Q Use the proper attachments for the job. ProTeam
®
has attachments to perform
most jobs without requiring that the operator bend over or get into
difficult positions.
CARING FOR YOUR VACUUM
1. Every time you finish vacuuming, shake out the cloth and Micro Filters.
2. Each week, rinse, air dry, and return the foam/filter diffuser to the bottom of the
backpack vacuums below the motor.
3. After each shift, wipe the inside and outside of the vacuum with household
cleaning agent.
