ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

Unpack your vacuum from its carton and inspect the ma-
chine, hose assembly and tools for any damage.  If there is
damage to any component, file a claim with the carrier imme-
diately.

Assembly

This machine requires little assembly before operation.  How-
ever, the following steps must be taken to ensure proper
operation.

1.

Install a 

filter bag

 into the tank.  Release the hook lo-

cated on each side of the machine’s tank and motor
assembly.  Lift the cover off and set it aside.  Slide the
bag retaining plate (Item 6) off the bag adapter. Then
push the filter bag opening over the adapter and slide
the bag retaining plate over both the bag cuff and the
adapter.  Be sure the filter bag follows the perimeter of
the tank; the center area must remain clear for replace-
ment of the cover with motor assembly.  Replace the
cover and fasten both hooks.

2.

Insert the 

vacuum hose assembly

 into the adapter. Line

up the tabs on the vacuum hose with the notches on
the adapter and twist to secure in place.  Then attach
the wand and selected tool.  The wand and tools attach
by simply pushing them together.

Operation

The Model shown in this manual is intended for commercial
use and is to be used for 

only dry pick-up applications.

1.

Before use, be sure a 

filter bag

 has been properly in-

stalled in the machine (reference assembly instructions).

2.

Attach the 

hose assembly

wand

 and 

selected tools

 into a 115-volt, 60 cycle, grounded

outlet.

power switch

 to start the vacuum.  The switch

is located on the back left side of the vacuum, under the
accessory holder.

The 

vacuum suction

 is adjustable by turning the red

knob located on the back right side of the vacuum. Mi-
nor adjustments to the vacuum suction can also be made
by sliding the lever on the bent wand section of the
hose assembly.  For maximum pick-up the opening must
be closed, for reduced suction expose the opening.

Tools

Four tools are provided with the vacuum: the combination
floor tool, upholstery tool, crevice tool and dusting brush.
Each is used by inserting them directly into the free end of
the vacuum hose/wand.

An adjustable metal wand is also provided. Simply push
on its knob to adjust the length.

Servicing

Warning:  Always unplug your vacuum before per-
forming any service.  Severe personal injury could
result if the electrical power is not disconnected.

1.

Vacuum Filter Bag:

 When full, remove the paper filter

bag and install a new one.

2.

Power Cord:

 Check the cord for cuts or nicks.  If dam-

aged, have the cord replaced at a factory authorized
service center.

3.

Caster/Wheels: 

  Remove any string or debris that may

restrict their free movement.  Wipe the treads clean.

4.

Tools and Wand:

  Inspect to ensure there is no obstruc-

tion of airflow.  Remove any debris if found.

5.

Vacuum Filter:

 A foam filter is provided with the

vacuum. It is located in the cover assembly; turn the
cover upside down and push the tabs toward the center
of the cover to release the filter rest (Item 5) from the top
cover (Item 2). The filter requires periodic cleaning or
replacement. Remove any dust and debris by vacuum-
ing with a different vacuum cleaner. Note: There is also
an 

optional HEPA filter

 available for this vacuum.  In

order to obtain the optimal performance from a HEPA
filter, it should be replaced when dirty.

the motor assembly.  It requires periodic cleaning or
replacement.  The filter is located inside the tank, over
the vacuum motor. Remove any dust and debris by vacu-
uming with a different vacuum cleaner.

7.

Vacuum Motor Maintenance: 

Have the vacuum motor

inspected annually by a factory authorized service tech-
nician.  If the carbon brushes are worn, they should be
replaced.  This service will prolong the life of the vacuum
motor.
