IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: WARNING ! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR PERSONAL INJURY: • Do not use on wet surfaces or outdoors. • Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. • Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
1. OPERATION The power unit is located away from the everyday living areas of your home — usually in the garage, basement or utility room. Through a network of strong, lightweight tubing, the power unit connects to inlets strategically placed throughout your home. When you are ready to clean, attach the wand and cleaning tool onto the end of the hose. Open the inlet cover and insert the end of the hose into the inlet. Use the ON/OFF switch on the hose handle to activate the power unit.
3. WHEN TO CHANGE BAG With a 6 U.S. gallons capacity, under normal conditions the bag requires changing approximately twice a year. If the bag is filled, you will notice a complete loss of vacuum in the system. Unless this loss of vacuum is caused by a blockage in the system, changing the bag will solve the problem. NOTE: Even if not filled to capacity, if the bag seems tightly stretched when removing the debris pail, changing the bag will prevent it from tearing. 4. BAG REPLACEMENT 1.
. SECONDARY FILTER A secondary safety filter, located at the top of the vacuum chamber provides protection against dirt being pulled into the motor if the disposable bag should accidentally be torn. This filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary, when replacement bag is installed. Simply brush filter clean. If the filter is excessively soiled, wash in a mild detergent and let it dry completely before reinstalling.
