Open the inlet cover and insert the end of the hose into the inlet to turn on the vacuum. 

For non-switched hoses, inserting the hose automatically turns on the power unit; removing 
the hose shuts off the power unit. Some hoses have switches which can be used to activate 
power unit. Unless using the utility valve (PP650 unit only) the ON/OFF switch located on the 
power unit needs to be kept in the OFF position.

As you vacuum, dirt and dust are carried to the power unit where they remain in a bag or in 
the debris pail (according to the power unit model).

Use the cleaning tools as you would for any other vacuum cleaner. Avoid picking up very large 

debris or lengthy as these kinds of objects may become lodged in the hose or tubing.

WHEN TO CHANGE BAG OR EMPTY DEBRIS PAIL

With a 6 U.S. gallons capacity, under normal conditions the bag/debris pail requires changing/

emptying approximately twice a year. If the bag/debris pail is full, you will notice a reduced 

suction from the system. Unless this loss of suction is caused by a blockage in the system, 

changing the bag or emptying the debris pail will solve the problem.

NOTE: 

Even if not filled to capacity, if the bag seems tightly stretched when removing the 

debris pail, changing the bag will prevent it from tearing.

HOW TO EMPTY DEBRIS PAIL 
(PP600 AND PP650 POWER UNITS ONLY)

To empty the debris pail, release both latches on sides of the unit by pulling out and then 
pushing up. Holding the pail by the latches, lower it from unit. Carry pail to trash receptacle 
and dispose of debris. Put the pail back in its place.

DISPOSABLE BAG REPLACEMENT (MODEL 391)

To remove the disposable bag, release both latches on sides of the unit by pulling out and
then pushing up. Remove the pail from unit. Grasp the edges of the bag collar and pull
down. The bag will slide off easily. Do not pull on the bag.

Unfold the new bag.

 

Grasp collar where indicated on the new bag and insert over bag adapter. Be careful not 
to tear the bag. Ensure the collar is positioned between the taper ring and the bag stopper 
on the bag adapter (see illustration below). Put the pail back in its place.
