Inspection
Carefully unpack and inspect your machine for shipping damage. Each unit is tested and thoroughly
inspected before shipment, and any damage is the responsibility of the delivery carrier who should
be notified immediately.
Electrical - 1 15 Volt
This machine is designed to operate on a standard 15 amp. 115 volt, 60 hz, AC circuit. Voltages
below 105 volts AC or above 125 volts AC could cause serious damage to the motor.
Electrical - 240 Volt
This machine is designed to operate on a standard 16 amp. type L fused 230 volt, 50 hz, AC
circuit. Voltages below 200 volts AC or above 250 volts AC could cause serious damage to the
motor. I.E.C. Class I.
WARNING
Electric motors can cause explosions when operated near explosive materials or vapors. Do not
operate this machine near flammable materials such as solvents, thinners, fuels, grain dust, etc.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance — if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

User Maintenance Instructions
All service and repair should be performed by qualified vacuum service representative or electrician.
No user serviceable components are employed in the electrical vacuum lid head assembly. No
lubrication of the motor is required.
Cloth Bag & Hose Assembly
Cloth bag and hose assembly are user maintenance items and can be replaced when worn out.
Cloth bags can be maintained by blowing dust off of the bag and then laundered. Cloth bags
should be completely dryed before re-installing into machine. For optimum performance, empty
and clean filter bag regularly. A clogged and dirty bag restricts the flow of air and results in
reduced vacuum. The hose assembly can be maintained by wiping of f with a dampened cloth of
mild liquid soap and water, then allowed to dry.
Cord Storage
While not in use storage can be accomplished by winding cord around motor lid assembly . Cord
should be completely unwound from lid assembly during operation.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return to service center.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
Always unplug the machine when removing the motor head off the tank. This equipment should
be stored indoors and not exposed to rain.
Operation and Filter Care Instructions
When Used for Asbestos Dust Recovery
The Minuteman Asbestos Vacuum has been specifically designed to clean up fibrous asbestos
and asbestos dust of all types. Special filters reduce the incidence of airborne dust that would be
created by any other method of cleaning. During the removal of asbestos dust, do not sweep,
scoop, shovel, or in any manner handle other than by vacuuming. Do not at any time attempt to
bypass, remove, substitute or by any other means change the filters used in this vacuum. Use
only approved Minuteman Asbestos Vacuum filters and filter bags. Before attempting to use and
before cleaning, be certain that you fully understand the instructions given for the setting up or
cleaning/changing of filters of this vacuum. Since each facility has its own individual and unique
cleaning problems, it is suggested that you use the following guidelines in determining the length
of time between filter changes. In light cleaning situations (i.e. dust in brake drums and the truing
of brake shoes) change filters once a day unless you have determined by checking that a shorter
or longer period of time would be necessary to meet the 10 to 15 pounds.

Tank/Filter Set-Up Procedure
1. When using the poly adapter for dry pick-up follow the described procedures below.
A. Insert poly bag (5) into tank assembly draping all excess bag height over edge of
tank. Fully open bag inside tank to ensure that bag is not bunched up and fully
extended to bottom of tank.
B. Depending on weight of dry material being recovered, it may be necessary to slit
poly bag 2" horizontally approximately 2" down from top of tank. This will stop poly
bag from closing in on bottom on poly adapter . After filling bag, tie of f bag below slit
and remove from tank.
2. Install poly 1:1 adapter (4) on top of tank assy. (6) as shown and snap tank latches.
3. Install filter protector (3) over cloth filter (2) and place in poly 1:1 adapter (4).
4. Position vacuum motor lid assy. (1) on top of poly 1:1 adapter and snap lid latches in
place.
1. Vacuum motor lid assembly
2. Cloth filter with frame
3. Filter protector
4. 1:1 Poly adapter
5. Plastic liner for top fill dry pickup
6. 4/6 gallon tank

WARNING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
800012 & 805037 PLASTIC BAGS
TO PREVENT OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE PLEASE FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!
After placing the plastic recovery bag inside the tank, use a sharp knife to cut a 1” slit in the bag
at the top edge of the tank, on the side opposite the vacuum intake. This will allow the vacuum
pressure to equalize on both sides of the bag and prevent it from collapsing when the vacuum
motor is turned on. Failure to follow this instruction may cause overheating or more serious
damage and may void the warranty on this machine!
PLEASE DO NOT DISCARD THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
KEEP THIS SHEET WITH THE BAG PACKAGE!
