WEARING THE BACKPACK VACUUM
1.
Loosen the shoulder straps and the waist belt. Lift
the vacuum and slide your arms through the straps.
The upper harness can be adjusted by tightening or
loosening the buckles. (See Figure 11)
Figure 11
2. Connect the waist strap. (See Figure 12)
Figure 12
3. Tighten the waist belt by grabbing the ends of the
straps, pulling each end toward each other and then
pulling outward from the center of the body. It is very
important that the weight of the unit be concentrated
on your hips rather than your shoulders. (See Figure 13)
Figure 13
4. Adjust the shoulder straps so that the unit fits
comfortably, but that the weight is still concentrated
on your hips. (See Figure 14)

OPERATING THE VACUUM
1.
Thread the extension cord through cord holder on
the waist belt (See Figure 16). Plug cord into the
back end of the switch box housing as shown.
2. Do not tie extension cord to the waist belt or the switch-
to-vacuum power cord. Doing so will result in damage
to both cords and will not be covered under warranty.
3. Plug the power cord into the wall. Turn the unit on
and proceed with vacuuming.
4. The on/off switch is located on the waist belt of the
vacuum.

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 in a
side-to-side motion. (See Figure 17)
3. The motion is similar to mopping and keeps the
upper body and arms from tiring.
