Operating 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 Back 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 filtration and maximum hygiene, it is advisable to use a paper vacuum bag in addition to the standard cloth bag.
If you use a paper vacuum bag, 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 vacuum bag is empty before vacuuming. Your Back 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 or if the vacuum hose is blocked. The vacuum motor will stop before it can get too hot. If this happens, empty and thoroughly clean the vacuum bag or free any blockage and ensure that adequate airflow is restored. The motor will automatically restart after it has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
1.The vacuum hose is fitted into the cuff in the lid. It should not be necessary to remove the hose in normal operation.
2.Place the Back Vacuum on your back, adjust the shoulder straps until you feel comfortable and then tighten the waist belt. The Back Vacuum is designed to ride higher on your back for maximum comfort.
3.Plug the cord into a 120 volt, grounded outlet. Always unwind the cord completely before vacuuming. It is important to maintain the power cord in good condition. This unit ships with a 50' 16AWG x 3 conductor SJT extension cord. Always use a 16x3 SJT extension cord when operating this unit. Use care when pulling the cord around sharp edges and through doorways.
CAUTION: Never operate the Back Vacuum if the power cord is damaged in any way.
4.Attach the extension wand to the hose and fit the floor tool or any of the other vacuuming accessories on the wand.
5.Turn the vacuum on. The toggle switch is located on the switch box. You may clip the switch box to the waist belt.
