GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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.

Grounding Instructions – This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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.

WIRING

This appliance is for use on a standard 120 VAC, minimum dedicated 20-amp branch circuit with a NEMA 5-15R receptacle. Make sure that the power unit is connected to an outlet and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug shown in illustration below. No adapter should be used with this power unit.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Open the inlet cover and insert the end of the hose into the inlet to turn on the vacuum. For non-switched hoses, inserting the hose automatically turns on the power unit; removing

the hose shuts off the power unit. Some hoses have switches which can be used to activate power unit. Unless using the utility valve (PP7001 unit only) the ON/OFF switch located on the power unit needs to be kept in the OFF position.

As you vacuum, dirt and dust are carried to the power unit where they remain in a bag or in the debris pail (according to the power unit model).

Use the cleaning tools as you would for any other vacuum cleaner. Avoid picking up very large debris or lengthy as these kinds of objects may become lodged in the hose or tubing.

WHEN TO CHANGE BAG OR EMPTY DEBRIS PAIL

With a 6 U.S. gallons capacity, under normal conditions the bag/debris pail requires changing/ emptying approximately twice a year. If the bag/debris pail is full, you will notice a reduced suction from the system. Unless this loss of suction is caused by a blockage in the system, changing the bag or emptying the debris pail 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.

HOW TO EMPTY DEBRIS PAIL (PP6501 AND PP7001 POWER UNITS ONLY)

To empty the debris pail, release both latches on sides of the unit by pulling out and then pushing up. Holding the pail by the latches, lower it from unit. Carry pail to trash receptacle and dispose of debris. Put the pail back in its place.

DISPOSABLE BAG REPLACEMENT (MODEL 391)

 To remove the disposable bag, release both latches on sides of the unit by pulling out and

then pushing up. Remove the pail from unit. Grasp the edges of the bag collar and pull down. The bag will slide off easily. Do not pull on the bag.

 Unfold the new bag.  Grasp collar where indicated on the new bag and insert over bag adapter. Be careful not

to tear the bag. Ensure the collar is positioned between the taper ring and the bag stopper on the bag adapter (see illustration below). Put the pail back in its place.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONT’D)

SEALED HEPA PERMANENT FILTER (PP6501 AND PP7001 POWER UNITS ONLY)

This filter protects the motor and stops small particles from escaping to the outside of the power unit without the need to replace it. The filter cleans itself by moving up when the power unit starts, and dropping down when the unit is turned off. Under normal use, there is no need to maintain this filter. It is possible to remove it to inspect the foam motor filter, or to replace it if ever it has been damaged (by sharp debris, for example).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF SEALED HEPA PERMANENT FILTER (PP6501 AND PP7001 POWER UNITS ONLY)

To remove:

 Remove the pail from the unit. To remove the

permanent filter, use pull tab (A) located on edge of filter to pull and loosen filter from inlet chamber wall. Squeeze from both sides of the filter to the center of the housing (see illustration at right). Then, carefully remove it from the unit.

AD0084

To reinstall:

 Squeeze the filter in order to move it past the inlet

opening (B) (see illustration at right). Let the filter bear against the unit wall by releasing the pressure. Make sure to place the rigid ring in its groove to ensure proper sealing.

AD0085

NOTE: Make sure the filter is installed so that the pull tab (A) is accessible for future filter removal.

AA0005

CAUTION

Be sure to reinstall filter properly. Appropriate location is critical to insure proper protection of the motor.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONT’D)

FOAM MOTOR FILTER (ALL UNITS)

A foam motor safety filter, located at the top of the vacuum chamber provides protection against dirt being pulled into the motor if the disposable bag or sealed HEPA permanent filter should accidentally be torn. This filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary when replacement bag is installed, or when sealed HEPA permanent filter is removed (PP6501 and PP7001 units only). Simply brush filter clean. If the filter is excessively soiled, hand wash in a water and mild detergent solution, rinse and let it dry completely on a flat surface before reinstalling.

CAUTION

Operating the power unit without the foam motor filter will void the warranty.

REMOVING FOAM MOTOR FILTER

Remove the debris pail and disposable bag or permanent filter. Lift the center of the wire retaining the foam motor filter and slide the filter out of its location.

REINSTALLING FOAM MOTOR FILTER

To reinstall the foam motor filter, reverse the steps described above.

AD0086

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONT’D)

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF SECONDARY HEPA FILTER (PP7001 POWER UNIT ONLY)

NOTE: This is a disposable HEPA filter; do not attempt to wash it since this will damage it. This HEPA filter should be replaced every 5 years. Proceed as follow:

 If installed, detach the exhaust line from the top of the unit.  Disassemble upper part from lower part top cap assembly by pushing on the 4 retaining

tabs (one by one) located on the lower part and pulling on upper part to disengage it.

NOTE: A small flat blade screwdriver can also be used to pry on the 4 retaining tabs, as

shown in illustration A at the bottom of the page.

WARNING

Risk of warm surfaces and sharp edges. It is recommended to wear safety gloves while handling this HEPA filter.

 Discard the used filter and replace with a new one (part no. S10941416). Be sure to install

it with the gasket on top as shown in illustration B (at the bottom of the page), then snap in place the upper part of the top cap. If need be, reconnect the exhaust line to the top cap.
