GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS IN COMMERCIAL SITUATIONS

WARNING
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of last 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.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment grounding 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.

This appliance is for use on nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adaptor should be used with this appliance.

A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketch B C maybe 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 is not available. 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.

• Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
• The green or (green/yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire.
• When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
• Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. Do not use extension cord more than 50 feet (15 m.) long.

IMPORTANT Thermal vacuum motor protector.
The vacuum motor is equipped with a safety thermal protector. Should the vacuum become overloaded by vacuuming with the bag full, or vacuuming with very dirty filters, or if the vacuum should have a clog, the thermal protector will protect the motor from overheating by shutting the motor down automatically. In this case, switch off the vacuum, disconnect the plug and check the bag, check the filters and also check for signs of clogging (see page 9). After the problem is corrected you may resume vacuuming after the thermal protector resets itself (approximately 30-40 minutes).

KNOW YOUR MACHINE

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Insert the chrome handle into the hole in the top of the switch housing. Push down until the button snaps into the proper position.

Insert the one end of the vacuum hose into the top of the vacuum body and the other into the extension wand provided. Insert the wand into the hole and clip on the right side of the machine. Snap the hose into the clip below the handle as shown.

Wind the electrical cord around the cord hook on the handle and the swing out cord hook on the front of the machine.
To release the cord, push the buttons between the switch and bag full light and push the handle down.
Slide the handle back into the locked position before using the machine.

Install the bag housing on the brush housing and slide the lock to the left as shown.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Switch on the machine (power switch), depress the foot pedal (by foot) and move the vacuum body in working position. The brush motor will automatically turn on.

BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Your carpet cleaner has several built in safeguards to protect components from overload damage. The electronic circuitry that operates the red light on the base indicates that the motor is overloading because the brush height is set too low or there are debris hindering the movement of the brush roller. If the overload is excessive the circuitry will shut off the brush motor and the red light will stay on until the problem is corrected. When the problem is corrected turn the switch off, wait for a moment and turn it back on. Make sure you unplug the machine while inspecting the brush roller for debris.

STEP 1: With machine on and handle in normal operating position, slowly rotate brush adjustment knob clockwise until red light turns on.
STEP 2: Turn brush adjustment knob slowly counterclockwise until red light turns off. NOTE: If the red light goes on and off intermittently while vacuuming, this is correct. If the red light stays on all the time, turn the knob as STEP 2

In case of fringed carpets the machine must be used from the center to the outside. With one color carpet or those whose weaves have tendency to form lines, it’s better to follow the direction of the material to get a consistent surface appearance.

On board attachments are provided for above floor vacuuming requirements.

Additional optional attachments including a hard floor tool Bissel Commercial M28R can be provided by your dealer.
With the special blower port accessory (optional) your vacuum cleaner becomes a blower.

CAUTION !
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MACHINE MAINTENANCE.

MAINTENANCE

Replace the filter bag when the Full bag light turn ON.
Depress the latch on the top of the bag compartment and remove it.

Before installing a new bag, open the hole completely with a finger.
Never operate the machine without an original Bissel Commercial paper bag.

MOTOR PROTECTION FILTERFILTER
This filter protects the vacuum motor from damage due to spilled paper bags. It provides for the 3rd stage of filtration. Clean the filter every third time that the paper bag is changed.
Remove filter from grill and wash out in warm water.
Let the filter dry completely before putting back into the machine.

Never operate machine without the inlet filter.

CHANGING THE FILTER
Replace or wash the filter for brush motor protection at least once a year.

CHANGING THE HEPA FILTER
The heap filter catches any particles that may escape from the filter bag, vacuum inlet filter, or lower motor filter. The Heap filter is located just below the carrying handle.
Replace the filter every10 time you change the bag (more often in very dusty applications).

To replace the Hepa filter:

1. Depress the latch on the top of the filter grill and remove it.
2. Remove the filter from the filter holder and insert a new original Hepa filter
3. Snap the filter cover back into place.
   Never operate the machine without the original Hepa Filter in place.

CHANGING THE BRUSH ROLLER

1. Lay the machine on the left side.
2. Slide the side cover (item n. 46/page 14) off the end of the brush housing.
3. Grasp the center of the brush by the bristles and pull it up and out the right side of the housing (reuse this piece after inserting the new brush).
4. Pull out the brush support from the brush (part n.40- Pag. 14). This metal support with ball bearing will be reused with a new brush roller.
5. Slide brush end transmission side into the base. Push the roller to the end and if necessary rotate a bit until the teeth are engaged on the transmission joint.
6. Make sure also that the side bristles are inside the aluminum roller support using the side door for help.
7. Follow steps 1-3 in reverse order to reassemble.
