1. Stand upright as much as possible, your arm working the handle grip should be as straight as possible
this will ensure that a) your arm is more relaxed and b) that the angle of the tubes/floor tool to the floor
is easiest to push.
2. Remember to bend the knees to pick things up.
1. Turn off switch.
2. Release buckle on hip belt.
3. Loosen shoulder straps slightly, slide pad off one shoulder and then the unit from the other shoulder.
4. Unplug electric cable and wind the cable starting from machine end and NOT the plug end. This
will help to prevent the cable from twisting and premature failing. When the cable is wound, place over
the hook position on the carry handle - DO NOT wrap the cable around the machine or place
behind the vac between the handle bar.
•
Always empty filter bag when full. The filter bag is removed by detaching the lid and then lifting out the
bag. Be careful not to get dust on the outside of the filter bag or inside the canister. Make sure the bag
support stand is in position at the bottom of the canister under the filter bag. This support stand must
always be in position to support the filter bag to maintain vacuum performance.
•
Check filter bag for holes or tears. Replace filter bag immediately if torn or otherwise damaged.
•
The cleaner the filter bag is kept, the better the vacuum performs. Remember this vacuum has
powerful suction and can pull fine dust out of a carpet that other vacs may not have been able to do -
this can mean that fine dust will coat the inside of the filter bag that could effect the performance - it
could take a week or two to get all the fine dust out of the carpet. If fine dust, like talc, cement/plaster
and fine clay is picked up it will clog the filter bag and reduce suction. Therefore, brush clean the inside
of the filter bag regularly by turning the bag inside out to brush. Alternatively fit a paper bag inside the
cloth filter bag.
•
Never wash the filter bag.
•
After use detach hose and clean out any dust build-up around the swivel cuff - this can be done by tilting
and rotating detached cuff at vacuum inlet with vac switched on. Check hose, tubes, floor tool and unit
lid for blockages regularly.
•
When electric cable is unplugged check for any damage especially cuts. If damaged replace cable
with a three core cable.
•
Store unit upright on its base or hang by the carry handle. Always store cable on the hook of the carry
handle. DO NOT wrap cable around the machine and DO NOT store cable behind the machine
over the carry handle bar.
