Maintaining Your Power-Vac - Elgee Power-Vac 632-E Owner's Manual

Maintaining your Power-Vac

Your Elgee Power-Vac has been designed to provide years of trouble-free
service! Periodic attention to the Motor and the Filter Bag is all that's
needed to ensure that it always performs as well as when it was new.
Motor - Periodic lubrication is necessary. Refer to the motor manufactur-
er's literature for specific requirements.
Filter Bag - Elgee Filter Bags hold the debris picked up by your Power-Vac
and are designed to capture dust from the discharge air. To ensure
that your machine continues to operate at peak efficiency:
• Shake the dust from the bag after each use to maintain maximum
suction. Do this several times during the day if you're picking up
mostly fine materials. Accumulated dust clogs the bag's pores,
thereby reducing air flow and suction.
• For outdoor use where dust control is not an issue, opening the
bag's vent zipper will extend the maximum suction time.
• Allow the bag to air dry if it becomes wet. A wet bag can rot or
allow the growth of mold and mildew.
• Launder the bag only if necessary. Use cold water and hang the
bag to air dry.
