Maintenance

Warning! Always unplug vacuum before cleaning, or
making any adjustments or repairs.
• Clean the cloth vacuum bag regularly. After emptying
the vacuum bag, turn it inside out and shake out as
much dust from the fabric as possible. Optimum
performance is achieved by using a paper vacuum bag
with the cloth bag.
• Check the power cord for damage. Always unwind the
cable completely.
•
Ensure that the vacuum hose, the extension wand and
the vacuuming accessories are not blocked.
• Ensure that the electrical outlet and the plug are
securely connected. Incorrect connections may cause
sparking and damage to the cable socket.
• Have your BackPack Vacuum serviced by an authorized
repair service center if you suspect any potential
problems.
• Use only approved paper vacuum bags.
• Ensure that the flexible vacuum bag ring provides a
proper seal before vacuuming.
