TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the vacuum will not operate, check the following:
a. The battery pack connection to the vacuum.
b. The battery pack is charged.
c. That the switch is in the “on” position and functioning properly.
2. If the battery pack is not charging, check that the charger is plugged into 120 Volt
outlet and that the battery is properly connected to the charger. Also check fuse in
charger.
3. If the exhaust air from the bottom of the vacuum is warmer than usual, check, clean
or replace all filters.
4. If loss of suction occurs, check the following:
a. Check that debris is not plugging the hose, wand, and/or floor tool.
b. Check, clean or replace both Intercept Micro and Micro Cloth filters.
c. Check that the hose cuffs are fitting tightly on the hose and are not cracked.
d. Check that the cap is properly attached to the vacuum body.
5. If the charger’s LED indicator is off and there is no output voltage when plugged in,
check both ends of the power cord.
The backpack 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, the micro cloth bag is clogged, or if the vacuum
hose or exhaust is blocked. The vacuum motor will stop before it can get too hot. If this
happens, empty and thoroughly clean the vacuum bag and filters, or free any block-
age and ensure that adequate airflow is restored. After the motor cools, you will be able
to restart the machine – this may take up to 20 minutes.
