OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning : To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before removing the dust bag, shake-out bag, changing the filters or performing maintenance or trouble-shooting checks.

Important : Do NOT use the vacuum without all filters, shake-out bag, and HEPA dust bag in place.

Attaching the Flexible Hose to the Vacuum
The flexible hose should be connected to the vacuum before strapping the unit to your back.

1. Push/press fit the hose into the lid opening.

Attaching the Telescopic Extension Wand

Note : Always remove the power plug from the wall outlet before attaching or removing accessories.

1. Holding the telescopic extension wand, insert the handle into the telescopic tube receptacle. Push the handle in while using a twisting motion to secure the pieces together.
2. To extend the length, push forward on the plastic button and pull the inner tube outward to extend for a longer reach.

Manual Suction Control
Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual variable suction control on the flexible hose handle. The suction power can be adjusted by moving the suction regulator to the desired position between open and closed.
Open gives you less suction, closed maximum suction. For example, less suction is required on upholstery and draperies compared to floors, which require maximum suction.

Using the Attachments

3-in-1 Multi-Surface Tool Brush

• The dusting brush is used for furniture.
• The crevice tool is for radiators, crevices, corners, baseboards and between cushions.
• The furniture utensil is used for furniture and rugs.

Using the Floor to Carpet Brush

1. To attach the floor to the carpet brush to the telescopic extension wand, insert the telescopic tube into the carpet to floor brush.
2. Step on the floor-to-carpet selector to adjust the height of the brushes. There are two different heights. The tool allows you to retract the bristle brushes when being used on the carpet or rugs, and extend when being used on wood or tile surfaces.
3. To remove the telescopic tube from the floor to carpet brush, pull the telescopic tube out from the floor to carpet brush.

Air-Driven Turbo Brush
The efficiency of your air driven turbo brush depends on the bristle brush rotating at high speed. Strong air suction is needed to accomplish this.

To ensure that maximum air suction is maintained, please read the following instructions:

1. Change the HEPA dust bag or empty the shake-out bag frequently.
2. Replace the pre-motor and exhaust filters as needed.
3. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept free of hair and string, which may accumulate and decrease brush performance.
4. To attach the air driven turbo brush, insert the telescopic tube into the air driven turbo brush.
5. To adjust the suction control on the air driven turbo brush, slide the suction control for more or less as desired.

Using Your Vacuum

1. Insert the power plug into the extension cord, then plug the extension cord into the wall outlet.
2. Make a loop with the extension cord and put the loop through the extension cord relief. Put the extension cord around the hook and pull the cord tight. (See page 11)
3. Connect the hose and telescopic extension wand if desired.
4. Correctly place shoulder straps on each shoulder and secure the waist trap.
5. Turn the unit on by pressing the switch located near the base of the unit to turn the vacuum cleaner on.

Warning : To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before removing the dust bag, shake-out bag, changing the filters or performing maintenance or trouble-shooting checks.

Removing & Replacing HEPA Dust Bag

Important Note: DO NOT use the vacuum without all filters, shake-out bag, and with or without HEPA dust bag in place.

1. To open the canister lid, pull up the canister lid tabs on each side of the unit and remove the canister lid. (Fig.1)
2. Pull the tab on the HEPA bag holder out slightly and flip upwards. (Fig. 2)
3. Holding the HEPA bag in your hand, slide/pull it out of the bag holder and dispose.
4. Insert/slide new bag. Cardboard face should rest securely in the bag cover guides. (Fig. 3)

Cleaning & Replacing the Shake-Out Bag 

1. Remove the Shake-out bag from the canister. Hold the handle on the bottom of the bag, shaking vigorously over a garbage receptacle and preferably outdoors. (Fig. 4)
2. As necessary, hand wash the cloth shake-out bag with warm water and let it air dry before reinserting it onto canister lip. Allow to air dry for 24 hours. Never replace it in the vacuum if still wet.
3. Inspect shake-out bag regularly for tears or damage. Replace shake-out bag if damaged or torn.

Cleaning or Replacing the HEPA Pre-Motor Filter

Important Please Note: The HEPA pre-motor filter will stop most of the tiniest dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. Because of this incredible filtration performance, the HEPA pre-motor filter will accumulate many fine dust particles that are difficult to see. Be assured that the HEPA pre-motor filter is doing the job. Clean the HEPA pre- motor filter when dirty as described in this section. 9

1. Remove the shake-out bag from the canister. The HEPA pre-motor filter is located underneath the shake-out bag. To remove the HEPA pre-motor filter, place your index finger underneath the edge of the premotor filter, and using your thumb press the tab toward the center of the filter to release, then lift the side of the HEPA pre-motor filter and pull upwards on filter.
2. Vigorously tap clean the HEPA pre-motor filter on a hard surface to remove any residual dust that might still be on the HEPA pre-motor filter.
3. You can wash the HEPA pre-motor filter by running it under the tap and allowing the water to run on the dirty side at least once a month or when suction appears to be decreased.
4. Shake off any excess water and allow to dry completely before reinserting it.
5. Replace the Pre-Motor Filter if it cannot be cleaned or if damaged.
6. To reinsert, place filter over the tabs and press down. You should hear two “clicks” if installed correctly. (Fig. 5)Wash or Replace at least once a year or when suction appears reduced.

WARNING
Allow 24 hours for drying  before replacing in unit.

Cleaning the Exhaust Filter
