Removing the floor tool
•
Twist the chrome wand while holding the floor tool neck.
•
Do not stand on floor tool.
•
•
The slide regulator on the hand grip of the wand controls the airflow and suction at the floor tool nozzle.
The resistance between the tool and floor surface depends on floor type and suction. Opening the slide
regulator will reduce the resistance. Adjust the regulator to an open position to reduce suction/airflow.
Good for vacuuming low profile carpets or loose coverings e.g. tapestry, or upholstery corners using the
correct vacuuming tool.
•
Adjusting the regulator to the closed position increases suction and airflow. Good for plush or thicker
pile carpets.
•
The (optional) crevice tool is designed for crevice cleaning on upholstered furniture or spot cleaning.
•
The (optional) dusting brush is used for upholstery, corner and cornices cleaning.
•
Both the crevice tool and dusting brush can be used with or without the chrome wands, simply attach it
to the end nozzle of the hose. The main advantage is to reduce the need for physical bending when
vacuuming. The plastic ferrule at the chrome wand, allows for easy disconnection.
For fine dust areas use the (optional) paper bag liners, inside the cloth filter bag.
•
•
The Rocket Vac is provided with an integral cord restraint. Ensure that the cord is fitted through the lead
guide in order to provide strain relief to the cord.
•
The Rocket Vac is provided with on board tool storage. Store a crevice tool and dusting bush in the
holes provided for ready access.
Use, Operation and Manoeuvrability
The slender profile of the Rocket Vac limits the protrusion from the operators back to 270mm. It is
•
important to maintain this clearance to prevent collision while working.
For comfortable operation of the Rocket Vac, stand upright with a relaxed posture, arms hanging loosely
•
to the side. Maintaining a straight wrist, hold the hand grip section of the wand with one hand, parallel
to the floor. The double swivel neck on the floor tool more than compensates for any height variance of
operators, and maintains a flat vacuuming face to the floor.
Use an easy arm-swing motion that covers approximately a 600mm stroke when vacuuming.
•
Plan the work path based on location of the power point, room/furniture layout, and entrance and exit
•
points
•
Commence vacuuming using a systematic approach working one half of the area first, away from the
power point and then the other half of the area, returning back to the start.
•
Ensure that the power cord is clear of feet to reduce likelihood of tripping.
When vacuuming under office desks, the reach of the wands is sufficient to avoid bending at the waist.
•
When vacuuming under lower profile objects, or when picking up items off the floor, bend the knees and
maintain a straight back.
•
When turning do not twist at the waist, turn using your feet.
Once finished, switch the vacuum OFF at the machine, then switch OFF at the power point and unplug
•
from power socket. Remove Rocket Vac by unbuckling waist band and sliding strap off one shoulder by
