PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
1. If the vacuum is in its upright position (page 6)
, raise the handle while supporting the vacuum, then slowly lower the
vacuum to the floor.
2.
Properly install the filter bag in the vacuum:
Lift the cover from the machine. The filter bag inlet is designed with a rubber
gasket that fits securely over the bag adapter (page 7) in the cover. First push the filter bag inlet over the adapter on the
cover. Then from the outside of the cover reach inside the adapter and push the gasket on the rest of the way. Replace
the filter bag when full.
OPERATION
1. Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded outlet
(see Grounding Instructions).
2. The foot pedal should be raised to the “BRUSH”
position (page 8) for wide area vacuuming.
3. Adjust the brush height
with the lever located on the rear of the machine near the floor (page 8).
4. Turn the vacuum switch ON
(rocker switch on operator’s right, page 7).
5. Turn the brush switch ON
(rocker switch on operator’s left, page 7)
and begin vacuuming
.
OPERATION WITH TOOLS
Three on-board tools are available for the vacuum: the dusting tool, crevice tool and turbo tool (page 6). Twenty (20) feet of
hose is provided which allows access to rooms without moving the machine.
1. The brush and vacuum switches should be turned OFF.
2. Depress the foot pedal to the “ACCESSORY” position.
3. Remove the rigid portion of the accessory hose
from its storage area in the handle and
attach the tool of choice.
4. Turn the vacuum switch ON and begin.
Note: The vacuum switch should be OFF when switching the foot pedal between the accessory and the brush positions.
