GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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:
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must
be at least one size larger than the power cord
on the machine, and must be limited to 50 feet
(15.5m) 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 120-volt
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
wire 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.

OPERATION
HOW IT OPERATES
This machine is a portable, easy to use wide area
vacuum designed for use indoors, in a commercial or
light industrial environment.
When operating as a carpet vacuum, soil is lifted
from the carpet surface by a rotating brush and
carried into a removable bag by the vacuum motors.
1. Large debris such as paper cups, plates, etc.,
should be picked up before starting the cleaning
process.
2. Plan your cleaning route to work away from the
electrical source. Move machine forward at a
steady pace.
CLEANING
1. Adjust handle to comfortable position at waist
level or higher.
2. Use your finger to depress the Vacuum switch at
the base of the handle to activate the vacuum.
3. To adjust brush height, move the Brush
Adjustment lever on the right side to the correct
setting for the carpet being vacuumed. Lower
brush gradually until firm brush contact is heard.
BRUSH POSITION

KEEP MACHINE MOVING WHILE BRUSH ENGAGED.
DAMAGE TO CARPET COULD OCCUR IF NOT
MOVING.
NOTE: Always return brush to storage position after
using machine.
4. Depress the brush lever at the handle to start the
brush.
5. Move forward at a steady pace for through
cleaning. Run machine more slowly over
extremely soiled areas.
6. Use the right side of the machine for edge
cleaning.
7. To use the accessory wand and detail tools,
depress the foot lever in the back of the machine.
8. To keep the vacuum operating at maximum
efficiency, check the dust bag regularly. Empty
when 1/2 to 3/4 full. Always use with disposable
paper bag for best results.
