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 effecting the
vacuum performance. It could take a week or two to get all the fine dust
out of commercial carpets.
5. If fine dust, like talc, cement/plaster or clay is picked up - the filter bag will be clogged
and reduce the suction. Therefore gently brush clean the inside of the filter bag after use
with a soft brush. Alternatively, on commercial sites use a spare vacuum cleaner to vacuum
the bag. However for the best results in this type of environment fit a paper bag inside the
cloth filter bag.
6.
Never wash the filter bag.
7. After use detach hose from the lid and clean around the outside of the swivel cuff - this
can be done by tilting and rotating detached cuff at the
vacuum inlet with vac switched on.
Check hose, tubes, floor tool and lid regularly for blockages.
8. When electric cord is
unplugged
check for any damage -
especially cuts. If damaged replace cord. See below under servicing.
9. Store unit upright on its base or hang by the carry handle. Always store cable as in Fig. 15.
DO NOT wrap cable around the machine or behind the vac between the body and the
carry handle.
MOTORISED POWER FLOOR BRUSH
This unit may be fitted with a receptacle for a motorised power floor brush. Most power-
heads can be adapted to this receptacle. See your supplier to ensure that the proper plug
and hose fittings are used.
Servicing
Make sure this vacuum cleaner is serviced regularly. Frequency of service depends on use,
however carbon brushes must be checked the first time within 300 hours of use. Clean out or
replace internal foam insulation and replace cloth filter bag every 300 hours unless you are
using paper bags inside the cloth bag. Replace damaged cable with a 7.5 Amp 2 core cable.
Bag Support
Filter Bag
Maintenance and storage
1. Always empty the filter bag when full.
2. Make sure the bag support stand is in position at the bottom of the
canister under the filter bag (see Fig. 16).
N.B.
This support stand
must
always
be in position to maintain vacuuming performance. The secondary
filter disc must be on top of the bag support.
3. Check filter bag for holes or tears. Replace if torn or damaged.
Failure to do so could result in motor damage.
16
1. Flick off switch.
2. Unfasten Flaps on hip belt .
3. Loosen shoulder straps slightly. Slide pad off
one
shoulder and then off the other
shoulder - grabbing the handle or lower the unit onto a table.
4. Unplug electric cord and wind the cord
starting from the machine
end of cord - not the plug end.
This will help prevent the cable from
twisting and causing premature failure. When the cable is wound, place over
the hook
on the carry handle - DO NOT wrap cable around the machine or place between
the body and the carry handle. (
see fig. 15)
