2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.
4. Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection against
electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical contractor.
5. T o prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any rep airs or
maintenance and when leaving the machine unattended.
6. T o prevent electric shock, keep the machine surface dry . Do not subject to rain. S tore the machine in a dry building
area. Clean the machine with a dry cloth only .
7. Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use this machine with or

12. Do not use without a dust bag and/or filters in place.
13. Make sure all labels, decals, warnings, cautions and instructions are fastened to the machine.
Grounding Instructions
This machine 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 machine is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
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 machine - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A
temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension
cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair
any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

OPERA TING & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
THERMAL-PROTECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal-protection device, which will interrupt vacuum motor circuit
automatically to prevent the motor from overheating. Air
restrictions for an extended period will result in the
vacuum motor shutting down. If this occurs, press the
switch to turn the vacuum to the OFF position and wait
a minimum of 5 minutes for the motor to cool to a safe
termperature. Be sure to determine the cause of overheating and rectifiy the problem before using the vacuum
cleaner again or it will continued to overheat and shut
down. In some instances the vacuum motor circuit is
interrupted because of high motor temperature caused
by a dirty dust bag or an airway blockage. Please unplug the vacuum and check the inner paper dust bag
and airway. If the dust bag is too dirty and clogged,
replace it with a new one. If an airway is blocked, please
remove the blockage before reuse. The motor can be
restarted when it is cool.
REPAIR SERVICE
When servicing, use an authorized person only. Use
only identical replacement parts.

MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance procedures assure better operation, fewer repairs and longer life for your machine.
WARNING! - Always disconnect the machine’s electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any clean
up, repairs or maintenance of the machine and when leaving the machine unattended.
CLEAN THE MACHINE AFTER EACH USE:
1. Each week rinse, dry and return the foam filter (Item #22) at the bottom of the vacuum tank below the vacuum motor.
2. Clean the vacuum tank. Release the clamps on each side of the top of the vacuum tank. Lift the filter assembly out
of the vacuum tank and set aside. Wipe the inside and outside of the vacuum tank with a clean dry cloth.
3. Empty and check the filter assembly . Empty the recovered soilage into a suitable container and remove and shake
the cloth filter bag to remove clinging dirt. Lightly brush the inside of the cloth filter bag to remove embedded dirt .
Check the cloth filter bag for tears or holes; repair or replace if necessary . Inst all a clean paper dust bag into
assembly into the cloth filter bag and place them back into the vacuum tank.
ELECTRICAL CABLE:
Check the cord for any nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.
V ACUUM TANK ASSEMBL Y :
1. Gaskets: Clean the Cover Seal Ring gasket.
2. V acuum Motor Guards: Inspect for dirt or damage and replace if damaged or filled with dirt.
FIL TER MAINTENANCE
1. Check the paper dust bag (Item #32) each time you start and finish vacuuming. A clogged and dirty dust bag
restricts air flow and results in reduced suction and overheating.
2. While vacuuming, stop every two hours or as needed to shake out the paper dust bag (Item #32). Replace the paper
dust bag when necessary . Note: Lift both paper dust bag and cloth filter bag out at the same time to avoid ripping
the paper dust bag, especially when it is full.
3. Once a month (or more often if necessary) hand or machine wash the cloth dust bag (Item #31) and let it AIR DRY.
DO NOT PUT IN DRYER.
4. Once a month (or more if necessary) clean the foam filter (Item #2) between the motor guards, located inside the
vacuum tank under the paper dust bag and cloth flter bag. To do this remove the top piece of the motor guard (Item
#1) and remove the foam filter (Item #2). Shake it out, rinse it and let it air dry thoroughly . Before the next use, re install a DRY foam filter (Item #2). Replace with new foam filter if it becomes worn or damaged. Re-install motor
guard (Item #1) by firmly snapping the guard in place.
5. Each week rinse and air dry the foam filter (Item #22) at the bottom of the vacuum tank below the vacuum motor . T o
do this pull out the round rubber support (Item #21) and remove foam filter (Item #22). Rinse the foam filter and let
it air dry thoroughly . Before the next use, re-install foam filter (Item #22) then re-install round rubber support (Item
#21) into the canister to support the foam filter.
