WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. DO NOT USE THIS VACUUM FOR PICK UP OF WET DEBRIS.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. You must be trained to operate this machine. Operate this machine for its intended use only.
5. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled. The dust bag and/or filters must be in
place. Use only manufacturer’s attachments.
6. Keep the machine and its electrical components dry. Do not subject to rain. Store 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 or store this
machine with or near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials. Do not use
flammables to clean this machine.
8. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
9. Maintenance and repairs must be done by a qualified or authorized service center.
10. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to a service center.
11. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (See Grounding Instructions).
12. To prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any
repairs or maintenance and when leaving the machine unattended. Do not handle plug or vacuum with
wet hands.
13. Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not use with damaged cord or plug.

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 14/3 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.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine
follow the instructions given in this booklet and the training given by your supervisor. Failure to do so can result
in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT!
NEVER USE THIS MACHINE TO PICK UP VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS!
The model shown in this manual is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of
correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt, ask
your supervisor.
! If the vacuum is in its upright position (page 6), raise
the handle while supporting the vacuum, then slowly
lower the vacuum to the floor.
! Properly install the filter bag in the vacuum: Lift
the cover from the machine. The filter bag inlet is designed with a rubber gasket that fits securely over the
bag adapter (page 7) in the cover. First push the filter
bag inlet over the adapter on the cover. Then from the
outside of the cover reach inside the adapter and push
the gasket on the rest of the way. Replace the filter
bag when full.
OPERATION
1. Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly
grounded outlet (see Grounding Instructions).
OPERATION WITH TOOLS
Three on-board tools are available for the vacuum: the dusting tool, crevice tool and turbo tool (page 6). Twenty (20)
feet of hose is provided which allows access to rooms without moving the machine.
1. The brush and vacuum switches should be turned
OFF.
2. Depress the foot pedal to the “ACCESSORY” position.
3. Remove the rigid portion of the accessory hose from
its’ storage area in the handle and attach the tool of
choice.
4. Turn the vacuum switch ON and begin.
Note: The vacuum switch should be OFF when switching
the foot pedal between the accessory and the brush positions.
MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS turn the brush and vacuum motor switches
OFF and UNPLUG the power cord from the electrical
outlet before doing any clean-up or repairs, and when
the machine is left unattended.
AFTER EACH USE:
1. Vacuum filter bag: If the bag is full or damaged in-
stall a new one.
Filter Bag, 10 Pack – Part Number 650602
Cloth Bag (optional) – Part Number 650601
2. Power cord and plug: Check for cuts or nicks; if
damaged, have the cord replaced at a factory authorized service center.
2. The foot pedal should be raised to the “BRUSH”
position (page 8) for wide area vacuuming.
3. Adjust the brush height with the lever located on the
rear of the machine near the floor (page 8).
4. Turn the vacuum switch ON (rocker switch on
operator’s right, page 7).
5. Turn the brush switch ON (rocker switch on
operator’s left, page 7) and begin vacuuming.
3. Casters and Wheels: Remove any strings or debris
that may restrict the free movement of the casters.
4. Tools: Inspect the tools to ensure there is no obstruction of airflow. Remove any debris found.
5. Brush: Remove any strings or debris. Replace if becomes worn or damaged.
Storage: The handle may be folded down and the
machine stored upright to reduce storage space requirements. Store the machine in a clean dry area.

MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY:
1. Inspect and clean the two vacuum inlet filters. Re-
move the cover from the machine. The filters are now
accessible (see page 10). They are constructed of foam
attached to a plastic mounting ring. Slide the filters
off and clean by shaking or vacuuming. Replace if
there are any rips, tears or can’t be cleaned.
2. Inspect and clean the exhaust filter. It is located
under the handle on the top of the machine (see page
8). Remove the filter and clean by shaking, vacuuming or washing with water. Replace if there are any
rips, tears or if it can’t be cleaned.
VACUUM MOTOR MAINTENANCE:
Have the vacuum motors inspected annually by a factory
authorized service technician. If the carbon brushes are
worn, they should be replaced. This service will prolong
the life of the motor.
