SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Violation of any of these instructions may void any and all warranties.

INTRODUCTION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

MOTOR

Electric thru-flow vacuum motors must never be used in applications in which wet or moist conditions are involved, where dry chemicals or other volatile materials are present, or where airflow may be restricted or blocked. Such motors are designed to permit the vacuumed air to pass over the electrical wiring to cool it. Therefore, any liquid (including water), dry chemical, or other foreign substance which would come in contact with electrical conductors could cause combustion (depending on volatility) or electrical shock. Failure to observe these precautions could result in property damage and personal injury, including death in extreme cases.

ELECTRICAL

All backpack models are available in 120 volt/60 Hz. This document only applies to 120 volt/60 Hz, or 120 volt/400 Hz models. Severe changes in voltage, high or low, can cause damage to the motor and cause premature motor failure. Model numbers and specifications can be obtained by calling ProTeam.

Each vacuum cleaner described in this manual is equipped with a thermal protection cutoff switch which will remove power from the vacuum motor if excessively high operating temperatures are detected. This condition may arise as the result of a blocked vacuum passage, or clogged or full filters.

If a thermal trip takes place, immediately toggle the vacuum’s switch to OFF and inspect for an airflow blockage in the hose and verify the condition of the filter bag. Replace or empty the filter bag as required. The vacuum will require several minutes to cool down to a safe operating temperature. When this temperature is attained, the thermal switch will reset and the vacuum will be able to be used in the normal manner.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THESE VACUUMS MUST BE GROUNDED. If a vacuum should malfunction or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with the unit.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are unsure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the vacuum. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The vacuum cleaners in this manual are for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and have a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch 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.

Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

For Canada – This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. Make sure that the vacuums are connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with the vacuums detailed in this manual.

4. Replace the Intercept Micro Filter and the Micro Cloth Filter into the vacuum (Figure B).
5. Replace the cap (Figure D).
6. Push the hose into the cap opening (Figure E).

PROPER VACUUMING MOTION FOR LARGE AREAS

1. Begin with the wand parallel to your body.
2. Draw the top of the wand in toward your waist and twist at the waist walking backward or forward, in a side-to-side motion (Figure F).
3. The motion is similar to mopping and keeps the upper body and arms from tiring.

BACKPACK ERGONOMICS

• The weight of the vacuum should be evenly distributed on your hips.
• Adjust the padded waist belt and shoulder straps for a custom fit.
• The backpacks have a ventilated backplate to keep the operator cool.
• The on/off switch is conveniently located on the waist belt of the backpack vacuums. Use pocket on waist belt to avoid damage to the switch cord.
• Use the proper attachments for the job. ProTeam has attachments to perform most jobs without requiring you to bend over or get into difficult positions.

WEARING THE BACKPACK VACUUM

1. Loosen the shoulder straps and the waist belt. Lift the vacuum and slide your arms through the straps (Figure G).
2. Connect the waist strap (Figure H).
3. Tighten the waist belt. It is very important that the weight of the unit be concentrated on your hips rather than your shoulders (Figure I).
4. Adjust the shoulder straps so that the unit fits comfortably, but the weight is still concentrated on your hips (Figure J).
5. Connect the sternum straps (Figure K).
6. Slide the buckle up or down the strap for best fit (Figure L).

OPERATING THE BACKPACK VACUUM

1. Thread the extension cord through the Cord Holder on the waist belt (Figure M) and plug into end of vacuum pigtail cord.
2. Do not tie extension cord and power cord together. Doing so will result in damage to both cords and will not be covered under warranty (Figure N).
3. Fasten the ends of the wands together. Pull back to open purple latch on lower half of the wand. Find the notch on the inside of lower half and the groove on the outside of the upper half – they must align. Insert the upper half into the lower by aligning the notch and groove. To tighten into position, close the purple latch when wand is at desired height (Figure O). If wand does not stay at desired height, pull open the purple latch, tighten the Phillips screw as necessary, and close the purple latch again.
4. Attach the floor tool to end of wand. Align the brass ring with the groove on the floor tool to ensure a secure fit (Figure P).
5. Twist the wand into the end of the hose (Figure Q).
6. Plug the power cord into the wall. Turn the unit on, and proceed with vacuuming.
7. The on/off switch is conveniently located on the waist belt of the backpack vacuums (Figure R).
8. The QuietPro BP has a different power switch. Use the power switch to choose one of the following power modes.
   • POWER MODE (HI) provides better performance.
   • QUIET MODE (LO) provides quieter operation.

NOTE: To convert the MegaVac into a blower, replace the lower twist cap with the upper twist cap (with the hose attached). Put the lower cap in the upper cap’s place. Remove the Micro Cloth and Intercept Micro Filter.

BACKPACK FILTER MAINTENANCE

1. Empty and inspect the Intercept Micro Filter every time you start and finish vacuuming (Figure A). Replace if necessary. A clogged and dirty filter restricts airflow and results in reduced suction and overheating.

2. To replace the Intercept Micro Filter, slide filter into the Cloth Filter and secure into vacuum (Figure B).

3. Once a month, or as necessary, hand or machine wash the Cloth Filter and let it air dry. DO NOT put it in the dryer (Figure C).

DO NOT use the vacuum with a wet filter bag or dome filter. When cleaning the cloth filter bag or dome filter allow them to dry completely before reinstalling.

4. Once a week, or as necessary, clean the Dome Filter.
a. First, remove the Intercept Micro Filter and Cloth Filter. Reach into the vacuum body and pull the top piece of the Dome Filter off and remove the foam media (Figure D).
b. Shake it out, rinse it and let it air dry thoroughly (Figure E).
c. Once dry, replace and firmly snap the top piece of the Dome Filter into place.

NOTE: If using a high filtration disc in place of the foam media, check it every two to three weeks. When the disc becomes discolored, replace it with a new disc. The life of the high filtration disc will depend greatly on the use and care of the Intercept Micro Filter and Cloth Filter.

HEPA MEDIA MODEL: For best results replace pleated dome filter every 6 months (Figure F).

5. Once a month (or more often if necessary) clean the exhaust diffuser.

Rinse (Figure G), air dry, and return the foam filter diffuser at the bottom of the vacuum below the motor.

6. Following the above instructions is the best way to prolong the life of the vacuum. DO NOT TRY TO WASH or VACUUM the LineVacer HEPA, ULPA and QuietPro BP Exhaust Filters. Doing so will fracture the filter media, greatly decreasing its efficiency. HEPA and ULPA filters CAN be shaken out gently EXCEPT when hazardous materials, which must remain sealed, have been vacuumed.

• The ProTeam LineVacer with HEPA or ULPA configuration may be used to remove some hazardous materials. When using the LineVacer vacuum cleaner to remove hazardous materials, consult your local regulatory agency for worker safety requirements.

RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (all vacuums)

• To avoid electrical shock, UNPLUG the vacuum when performing any maintenance.
• CHECK the condition of all electrical cords before each use.

UPON RECEIPT

Check unit for any defects, missing or broken parts. Call ProTeam with this information, along with any questions you may have.

DAILY/AFTER EACH USE

Check Intercept Micro Filter. Replace or empty if full. Use only genuine ProTeam replacement filters to ensure optimal performance, achieve improved indoor air quality, and to maintain a valid vacuum warranty. Check Micro Cloth Filter. If dirty, rinse out and air dry before replacing back into vacuum. All filters must be in place to operate vacuum. This will optimize airflow and prevent the motor from laboring.

PERIODICALLY

Check harness for fit and comfort. Replace lost or damaged pieces.

ELECTRICAL CORD CARE

NEVER stretch the cord tightly between the vacuum and the outlet. A cord that is stretched or pulled may not function properly, can damage the cord or plug, and creates a tripping hazard.

DO NOT tie extension cord and power cord together in a knot in an effort to keep the connection together. Doing so will result in damage to both cords and will not be covered under warranty. Instead, use the provided cord holder.

After vacuuming, unplug the extension cord at both ends and wind it up loosely.

• Wind the cord from the female receptacle to the male plug.
• Lay the cord out, as straight as possible, on the floor before winding.
• DO NOT wind the cord up by wrapping it around your hand and elbow, as repeated winding in this manner will result in twisted cord that is hard to wind and unwind.

Use only a ProTeam replacement extension cord, or one that is properly sized for your application. Extension cord jacket type should be SJT or better and rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor condition or too small in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce the risk of these hazards, be sure the cord is in good condition and that liquid does not contact the connection. Do not use an extension cord with conductors smaller than 16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power loss, use a 14 gauge extension cord if longer than 50 ft.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

PROPER STORAGE

When the vacuum is not in use, the vacuum and extension cord should be stored indoors and in a dry place.

• The following information is for use by qualified service personnel only, and provides guidance for trouble shooting and maintenance under normal working conditions.
• UNPLUG the vacuum before working on the motor or any electrical part.

MOTOR SERVICE

Only a ProTeam-authorized service or warranty center should replace the carbon motor brushes or motor. Replacement schedule for motors with replaceable brushes:

1. After the first 800 hours of operation.
2. Again after the next 400 hours of operation.
3. Again after the next 200 hours of operation.
