INTRODUCTION
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
This document only applies to 120 volt/60 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 contacting
ProTeam.
The vacuum cleaners described in this manual are equipped with a thermal
protection cutoff device. This integrated thermal cutoff switch will remove
power from the vacuum motor in the event excessively high operating
temperatures are detected. This condition may arise as the result of a blocked
vacuum passage, or clogged or full filters.
Should a thermal trip take place, immediately turn off the vacuum switch,
unplug the cord from the wall outlet, and inspect for a blockage 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
at any moment and the vacuum will be able to be used in a normal manner.
CORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The cord management system consists of 2 separate components that reside on
the switch box: the twist-lock and cord guide. Both of these features, when
used in accordance with the instructions in the quick start and owner’s
manual, act as cord retention and strain relief during operation of the
vacuum. The twist-lock ensures the extension cord plug remains firmly seated
in the switch box. The cord guide acts as strain relief for the extension
cord.
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.
WARNING
- 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.

-
The indicator light will turn solid red when the Intercept Micro Filter bag needs to be checked/changed out.
The indicator light will change from solid red to flashing red if there is a clog or blockage in the hose/wand area or filter bag is at maximum debris capacity.
When this occurs, user should turn off vacuum and check filter, hose and/or wand for clog or if filter bag is full.
INDICATOR KEY:
Solid Red: Check Intercept Micro Filter Bag
Flashing Red: Check for clog or blockage
Note: This filter bag change feature is based on the vacuum motor performance.
Different debris types (light vs. heavy) will affect the fill level.
Lighter debris typically fills higher in the bag before the indicator light
goes on. Heavier debris typically fills lower in bag when light goes on.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Note:
When opening the cap to check/change filters, ensure the upper harness is not
locked in the highest position on vacuum body. Please refer to page 6 under
Harness Height Adjustment for detailed steps.
-
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.
-
To replace the Intercept Micro Filter, slide filter into the Cloth Filter and secure into vacuum (Figure B).
-
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).
WARNINGTo reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not use the vacuum with a wet cloth filter bag or dome filter. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling. -
Once a week, or as necessary, clean the Dome Filter.
-
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.5. Once every two weeks, or as necessary, inspect the HEPA media filters. When the filter becomes discolored, replace it with a new filter. For best results, this filter should be replaced every 6 months.
-
To inspect or replace the HEPA media filter, press the purple release button and rotate the door away from the vacuum body (Figure F). Grasp the plastic housing on the HEPA media filter and remove from vacuum (Figure G).

RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
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 to switchbox, power cord, or harness in attempt to
prevent extension cord from disconnecting. Doing so will result in damage to
both the cords and the switchbox and will not be covered under warranty. Use
the provided cord management system to safely secure the extension cord and
plug to the switchbox.
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, SJTW 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.
WARNING
The following information is for use by qualified service personnel only, and
provides guidance for troubleshooting and maintenance under normal working
conditions.
UNPLUG the vacuum when working on the motor or any electrical part.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Only a ProTeam-authorized service or warranty center should replace the carbon
motor brushes. Use the following schedule for replacement:
- After the first 1000 hours of operation.
- Again after the next 500 hours of operation.
- Again after the next 200 hours of operation.

No Other Express Warranty Applies
THE LIMITED WARRANTIES PROVIDED ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES
PROVIDED BY PROTEAM TO YOU, AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN
OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHETHER OR NOT THE PURPOSE HAS BEEN DISCLOSED AND WHETHER
OR NOT THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED
OR MANUFACTURED FOR YOUR USE OR PURPOSE. THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE APPLIES ONLY
TO CONSUMER PURCHASERS: DISCLAIMERS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL NOT TAKE EFFECT
UNTIL THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. No employee, agent, dealer, or other
person is authorized to alter this limited warranty or make any other warranty
on behalf of ProTeam. The terms of this limited warranty shall not be modified
by ProTeam, the original owner, or their respective successors or assigns.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PROTEAM BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER RESULTING FROM NONPERFORMANCE, USE, MISUSE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT OR PROTEAM’S NEGLIGENCE. PROTEAM SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY DELAY IN PERFORMANCE AND IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS
OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT,
INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE), SHALL
PROTEAM’S LIABILITY TO YOU AND/OR YOUR CUSTOMERS EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE
PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCT. The term “consequential damages” shall include,
but not be limited to, loss of anticipated profits, business interruption,
loss of use or revenue, cost of capital or loss or damage to property. Some
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This limited warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary
from State to State.
This limited warranty is governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of law provisions.
Dispute Resolution
In the event of any dispute INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, CLAIMS BASED IN TORT, NEGLIGENCE,
PRODUCT LIABILITY, FRAUD, MARKETING, STATE OR FEDERAL REGULATIONS, ANY CLAIMS
REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND THE WAIVER OF CLASS
ACTION TRIALS between PROTEAM AND YOU, either party may choose to resolve the
dispute by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court. THIS
MEANS IF EITHER PROTEAM OR YOU CHOOSE BINDING ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL
HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. DISCOVERY
AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN BINDING ARBITRATION. ProTeam and You agree
that the proper venue if Arbitration is not so chosen by ProTeam OR You of all
actions arising in connection herewith shall be only in the state of Missouri
and the parties agree to such jurisdiction. No action, regardless of form,
arising out of transactions relating to the agreement, may be brought by
either party more than two (2) years after the cause of action has accrued.
The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods shall
not apply to this agreement.
Class Action Waiver
BINDING ARBITRATION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS NEITHER PROTEAM
OR YOU MAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHERS, OR
LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A
CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.
Administration of Arbitration
The binding arbitration must be administered by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and/or
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer- Related Disputes (including proceedings
to mitigate costs of travel). This binding arbitration is governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) (9 USC §1, et. seq.) and will govern the
interpretation and enforcement. The binding arbitration shall be held at a
location determined by AAA or at such other location as mutually agreed. In
addition to the terms stated above, the following will apply to the binding
arbitration: (1) the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or
agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this agreement
including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or
voidable; (2) the arbitrator shall apply Missouri law consistent with the FAA.
