How to assemble and use

Follow these simple steps for easy and effective operation of the Backpack vacuum. Open the lid and ensure that the cloth bag is correctly located and the flexible ring provides a proper seal when the lid is closed. For optimum performance, filtration and maximum hygiene, it is advisable to use a paper vacuum bag in addition to the standard cloth bag.

• Push the vacuum hose into the cuff in the lid (Fig.1). It should not be necessary to remove the hose in normal operation.
• Place the Backpack vacuum on your back, adjust the shoulder straps until you feel comfortable and then tighten the waist belt. The Backpack vacuum is designed to ride higher on your back for maximum comfort (Fig. 2).
• Attach the hose, wands and floor tool (Fig. 3 and 4). To attach the floor tool, loosen the lock nut at the end of the wand, slide on a tool, and then tighten the lock nut.
• Turn the vacuum on. The switch is located on the switch box. The switch box can be secured to the waist belt (Fig. 5). It has 2 modes: NORMAL power and MAX power (Fig. 6).
• After you finish cleaning, turn off the main power switch before removing the Backpack.

Battery Charging
This vacuum is equipped with two 24-volt 8Ah batteries. They can be charged at the same time or only one at a time in the dual charging station provided.

• When the state of charge indicators are all green, the battery is fully charged and ready for use. When there is only one green indicator light on and flashing or no green indicators on, the battery needs to be recharged (Fig. 7).
• To recharge, attach the battery or batteries to the charger as shown (Fig. 8). The charger will recharge two batteries at the same time in 2 hours.
• Once fully charged, install batteries in the vacuum housing (Fig. 9). The vacuum will operate on one battery but the run time will be shortened.

How to maintain

Changing the filter collection bags

• Turn off the power switch and remove the batteries (Fig. 1).
• Remove the vacuum hose from the top of the vacuum (Fig 2).
• Release the three latches and lift off the lid (Fig. 3).

• Remove the cloth bag, clean and reinstall.
• Insert new paper bag making sure to align lid nozzle with bag hole and secure latches.

Changing the pleated HEPA exhaust filter
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a pre-motor filter and an exhaust HEPA filter. The pre-motor filter protects the motor from dirt. The HEPA filter captures 99.97% of dust particles down to .03 microns in size. It is important to replace the pre-motor filter and exhaust filter approximately every six months.

To replace the HEPA exhaust filter

• Turn off the power switch and remove the batteries.
• Detach the exhaust filter cover from the front of the vacuum (Fig. 5).
• Remove the exhaust filter.
• Clean or replace the filter. To clean, shake off loose dust, rinse with warm water then allow to dry (Fig. 6).

Changing the pre-motor filter

• Turn off the power switch and remove the batteries.
• Remove the lid, paper bag and cloth bag to expose the filter.
• Remove the plastic filter cap on the top of the filter by twisting it counter-clockwise (Fig. 7).
• Remove the filter from the dust compartment.
• Insert a new filter and replace the filter cap (Fig. 8). Refit the cloth bag, and paper bag, and replace the lid.

NOTE: The cloth bag can NOT be washed and reused.

• Clean the cloth bag regularly. After removing the cloth bag, turn it inside out and shake as much dust out of the fabric as possible.
• Optimum performance is achieved by using a paper filter bag with a cloth bag.
• Use only approved paper filter bags.
• Ensure the vacuum hose, the extension wand and the vacuuming accessories are not blocked.
• Ensure the batteries are securely installed. Incorrect connections may cause damage to the vacuum or the batteries.
• Have your vacuum serviced by an authorized repair service centre if you suspect any potential problems.
• Ensure that the flexible cloth bag ring provides a proper seal before attaching the lid.
