OPERATION 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 ½ full before vacuuming. The vacuum hose is fitted into the cuff in the lid. It should not be
necessary to remove the hose in normal operation.
1. 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.
2. Attach the extension wand to the hose and fit the floor tool or any of the other vacuuming accessories on
the wand.
3. Turn the vacuum on. The toggle switch is located on the lower housing.
4. After you finish cleaning, turn off the main power switch.
This unit is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identi-
cal replacements parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated equipment before
servicing.
Servicing of double-insulated machines
In a double-insulated machine, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated machine, nor should a means for grounding be added to the machine.
Servicing a double-insulated machine requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated machine must be identical to the
parts they replace.
