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 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 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
half full before vacuuming. The backpack vacuum has been fitted with a thermal overload switch to protect the motor against
damage should the airflow be blocked for extended periods. This may occur if the vacuum bag is overfull, the cloth filter bag
is clogged or if the vacuum hose or exhaust is blocked. The vacuum motor will stop before it can get too hot. If this happens,
empty and thoroughly clean the vacuum bag and HEPA filter or free any blockage and ensure that adequate airflow is restored.
After the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature, locate the thermal reset switch on the bottom of the unit and
push it back in. There will be a slight audible click. Now the motor will restart.
Once you have installed your dust control kit using the instruction sheet included with the kit, turn the vacuum on by pressing
in the on/off toggle switch located on the body of the machine near the power cord (see Figure 1).
