2. Waist back pad adjustments (see Fig. 9)
a) To unfasten hip belt pull Velcro flaps apart.
b) To tighten waist belt pull both flaps until firm tension is felt from the
supporting side elastic and make sure that the flap with the Velcro (right
side) is against the body. Then fasten the left side flap to the right side firmly.
Now that adjustments are understood proceed to fit unit for operation
a) Preferably lift the vac onto a table or countertop for ease of fitting.
b) Loosen the shoulder straps (do not detach) slide arms under straps
so that padding is over the shoulders. Make sure straps do not twist.
c) Sit the vac on your back so that the back pad is on top of the hips
into the lower back.
d) Tighten hip belt so that the unit is snug into the lower back on top of
the hips. This requires pulling so that the elastic is stretched to a comfortable position.

A removable extension cable is supplied with this vacuum cleaner to allow ease of replacement for damaged ca-
bles. PLEASE make sure that you follow the instructions to properly fit this extension cable through the cable
protector fitted to the vacuum cleaner (see Cable sheet). Release cable ties from the extension cable and ensure
that the cable is not coiled when in use.
a) Plug in electric cable into a safe socket. To switch on, reach back with your left hand to the lower side of the
unit and flick the switch. (see fig. 12)
Remember to bend at the knees when plugging in the cord or when bending to pick something up.
b) Stand upright as much as possible, (see fig. 13) your arm on the
handle grip should be almost straight, this will ensure that your arm is more relaxed and the angle of the floor tool
to the floor will make it easier to push.
1. Flick off switch.
2. Unfasten Flaps on hip belt .
3. Loosen shoulder straps slightly. Slide pad off one shoulder and then off the other
shoulder - grabbing the handle or lower the unit onto a table.
4. Unplug electric cord and wind the cord starting from the machine
end of cord - not the plug end (see fig. 14) This will help prevent the cable from
twisting and causing premature failure. When the cable is wound, place over the hook
on the carry handle - DO NOT wrap cable around the machine or place between
the body and the carry handle. (see fig. 15)
N.B. Important - the unit is ergonomically correct when the
weight is distributed over the hips and not on the shoulders.
e) Now pull on the lower shoulder straps to make a final adjustment (see fig 10)
to shoulder pads so that the unit does not "pull" backwards but make sure no
contact is made with the upper back. (see fig 11)
