AVERTISSEMENT
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
86038440 VACPAC 01/18/11
2-5
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL
USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a
standard 15 amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power
circuit. The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed
on the data label found on each machine.
Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the data label will cause serious
damage to the motors.
EXTENSION CORDS:
A suitable extension cord is provided with this
appliance. The safe operation of the
appliance is dependent on the use of a
suitable extension cord. If a cord other than
the one provided is used, it must be type SJT,
at least 16 gauge, and limited to no more than
50 feet in length.
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 inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor in “Fig . C”
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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.
Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de
terre d'équipement peut entraîner des risques
d'électrocution. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien
qualifié ou d'un responsable de l'entretien si
vous avez quelque doute que ce soit quant au
raccordement à la terre de votre prise murale.
Ne modifiez pas la fiche fournie avec l'appareil
: si elle ne correspond pas à la prise murale,
faites installer une prise adéquate par un
électricien qualifié.

EQUIPMENT SET-UP
1. Insert hose (90° swivel cuff end) into top of
unit. Attach desired cleaning tool.
2. Unclip waist and sternum straps. Loosen
shoulder straps and hip belt.
3. Put on unit by placing arms through shoulder
straps and secure and tighten the hip belt.
(For the most comfort, adjust unit so that the hip
belt covers the front hipbones and the bowed-out
portion of the back padding rests on the small of
the back.)
4. Tighten the shoulder straps to the point where
the unit’s weight just starts to pull down on the
shoulders. Ideally most of the unit’s weight will
remain on the waist.
5. Adjust the sternum strap position to be high on
the chest and tighten till comfortable.
6. Plug in power cord from machine into properly
grounded wall outlet (see grounding
instructions).
OPERATION
The unit is a commercial vacuum designed for dry
pick-up only.
1. Place a paper bag inside the cloth bag in the
vacuum chamber. Be sure the foam filter is in
place at the bottom of the chamber.
2. Attach the accessories to be used.
3. Put unit on back and adjust straps.
4. Plug unit into properly grounded wall outlet
(see grounding instructions).
5. Turn machine on or off using switch on left
side of machine.
6. To empty, remove the cover and dump paper
bag into trash receptacle. Shake cloth bag
vigorously each time paper bag is emptied to
prevent soil build-up, which would clog filter.
The straps are easily adjusted while the unit
is being worn.

DAILY MAINTENANCE
(At the end of each working day)
1. Turn cloth filter bag inside out and brush
clean. Do not use a wire brush. Cloth bags
can be vacuumed with another machine or
washed occasionally in warm water using a
mild, water-based soap without harming
filtering capacity. Allow to dry completely
before using.
2. Wipe down exterior of machine.
3. Check round foam filter at bottom of vac
chamber and clean if necessary.
4. Inspect hose for wear. Frayed or cracked
hoses should be replaced to avoid vacuum
loss.
5. Inspect power cord for wear. To prevent
electric shock, immediately replace cords with
frayed or cracked insulation.
