Operating Instructions
Please read the following operating instructions carefully. They will help you to
get the best performance from this professional quality vacuum cleaner and to
maintain it in optimum condition.
Follow these simple steps for easy and
effective operation of the Back Vacuum.
Open the lid and ensure that the cloth bag is correctly located and the flexible
ring provides a proper seal when the lid is closed. For optimum filtration and
maximum hygiene, it is advisable to use a paper vacuum bag in addition to
the standard cloth bag.
If you use a paper vacuum bag, simply insert it into the cloth bag, making
sure that the cardboard disk is centered on the flexible sealing ring. When you
replace the lid, the short nozzle in the center of the lid will be forced into the
central hole of the cardboard disk of the paper vacuum bag thus providing a
tight seal. Make sure the paper vacuum bag is tightly secured over the short
nozzle before vacuuming.
Lock the lid down with the two latches. Always ensure that the vacuum bag is
empty before vacuuming. Your Back 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 or
if the vacuum hose is blocked. The vacuum motor will stop before it can get
too hot. If this happens, empty and thoroughly clean the vacuum bag or free
any blockage and ensure that adequate airflow is restored. The motor will
automatically restart after it has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
1. The vacuum hose is fitted into the cuff in the lid. It should not be necessary
to remove the hose in normal operation.
2. Place the Back Vacuum on your back, adjust the shoulder straps until
you feel comfortable and then tighten the waist belt. The Back Vacuum is
designed to ride higher on your back for maximum comfort.
3. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, grounded outlet. Always unwind the cord
completely before vacuuming. It is important to maintain the power cord
in good condition. This unit ships with a 50' 16AWG x 3 conductor SJT
extension cord. Always use a 16x3 SJT extension cord when operating
this unit. Use care when pulling the cord around sharp edges and through
doorways.
CAUTION: Never operate the Back Vacuum if the power cord is
damaged in any way.
4. Attach the extension wand to the hose and fit the floor tool or any of the
other vacuuming accessories on the wand.
5. Turn the vacuum on. The toggle switch is located on the switch box. You
may clip the switch box to the waist belt.
Maintenance
● Clean the cloth vacuum bag regularly. After emptying the vacuum bag, turn
it inside out and shake as much dust out of the fabric as possible. Optimum
performance is achieved by using a paper vacuum bag with the cloth bag.
● Check the power cord for damage. Always unwind the cable completely.
● Ensure that the vacuum hose, the extension wand and the vacuuming
accessories are not blocked.
● Ensure that the electrical outlet and the plug are securely connected. Incorrect
connections may cause sparking and damage to the cable socket.
● Have your Back Vacuum served by an authorized repair service center if you
suspect any potential problems.
● Use only approved paper vacuum bags.
● Ensure that the flexible vacuum bag ring provides a proper seal before
vacuuming.
