When you have finished cleaning, shake out the cloth
filter bag or check the paper bag to see if it’s full and
if so, dispose of it. Wipe it off inside and out using
a dry cloth. Occasionally you may have to wash out
or launder the cloth filter bag if you accidently pick
up moisture that would clog the pores. Regular daily
maintenance will provide reliable service while
increasing productivity.
IMPORTANT!
The HARRIER is a high efficiency, super suction
vacuum requiring a large volume of air to cool the
motor. Be sure to keep all airways clear and free of
debris to maintain airflow efficiency and low motor
temperature. Pick up large pieces of debris by hand. If
you should accidently plug the hose with debris(you
will notice a significant loss of suction),use a broom
handle or other like object to free the obstruction.
Also, check the airway in your cleaning tool.
DO NOT PICK UP LIQUID’S as they will cake the
cloth filter bag and could cause electrical shock. If
you ACCIDENTALLY pick up any liquid, wash and
dry the bag immediately. Be sure the bag is
COMPLETELY dry before using it again.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
Plugging the airway for an extended period will result
in the vacuum shutting off to prevent motor damage
due to overheating. If this occurs, press the switch to
turn the vacuum to its”OFF” position and wait about
5 minutes for the motor to cool to a safe operating
temperature. Be sure to determine the cause of over-
heating and rectify the problem before using again,
or it will continue to overheat and shut off. In some
instances, very fine dirt can clog the cloth filter bag
enough to cause the
vacuum to shut off. If you are suing the paper bag,
check to see if it’s full and replace it if necessary. If
you are using the cloth filter bag alone, we
recommend that you have a spare clean cloth filter as
a backup. You can switch bags and launder the dirty
cloth filter bag. DO NOT WASH OR DRY THE BAG
IN HOT TEMPERATURES (above 130 degrees F)
Air drying is recommended. Be sure the bag is
thoroughly dry before using it.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the HARRIER clean inside and out. If you are
using the cloth filter bag alone, always dump that bag
after a maximum of 4 hours of use (Fig. 7).
If you are using a paper bag inside the cloth filter bag,
replace the bag when full or if it should develop any
holes.
If you have vacuumed any material you don’t want
getting into the atmosphere, turn the vacuum off
while remove the lid and check or replace the bags.
