Sufficiently plugging the airway for an extended period will result in the vacuum shutting off to prevent its
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 overheating and rectify the
problem before using the BPV-1000 again, or it will continue to overheat and shut off. In some instances, very fine
dirt can plug the cloth filter bag enough to cause the vacuum to shut off. If you are using the ULTRASTAT bag,
check to see if it's full and replace it if necessary. If you are using the cloth filter bag alone, we recommend you
have a spare clean cloth filter bag on hand as a backup. You can switch bags and launder the dirty cloth filter bag
at your convenience. DO NOT WASH OR DRY THE BAG IN HOT TEMPERATURES (above 130 degrees F). Air
drying is best. Be sure the bag is thoroughly dry before using it.
WARNING: Flammable materials can cause an explosion or fire. Do not pick up.
DO NOT PICK UP LIQUID SUBSTANCES WITH THE BPV-1000 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Hazardous Voltage. Shock or electrocution can result. Unplug machine before servicing.
Keep the BPV-1000 clean inside and out and you will find it serves you well
indefinitely. If you are using the cloth filter bag alone, always dump that bag after a
maximum of 4 hours of use.
If you are using the paper bag inside the cloth filter bag, replace the paper bag when
full or if it should develop any holes allowing dirt to escape.
If you have vacuumed any material you don't want escaping into the atmosphere,
leave the vacuum on while removing the lid and checking or replacing the bags.
Occasionally clean the foam motor filter by removing it from the motor, turning it
upside down and tapping it firmly on a hard surface to release the fine dust. You
remove the foam motor filter by lifting the plastic frame off the motor (under the cloth
filter bag). Replace by pushing the plastic frame firmly over the motor. At the same
time you check the motor filter, check and clean the exhaust filter (see diagram) by
removing the exhaust cover, unscrewing the thumbnuts holding it in place. Wash the
exhaust filter in warm soapy water, shake it dry, and replace over the exhaust.
Be careful to check for fraying of the cord or any other problems that may occur after
extended use.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine with a damaged cord or plug.
Parts are inexpensive and easy to replace, and correcting problems early will prevent more serious problems
later. To store or carry the BPV-1000, wrap the cord STARTING AT THE MACHINE END (to prevent twisting) and
secure it to the machine handle with the attached cord holder for safety and longer cord life. Carry the BPV-1000
by the handle - NOT BY THE HOSE OR CORD.
If you have any questions regarding the use and/or maintenance of the BPV-1000 or how to further improve your
cleaning efficiency, please contact your nearest representative or call us toll free 1-800-964-9644. We want you to
always be happy you chose the BPV-1000 to improve the way you clean.
