GENERAL INFORMATION
This vacuum cleaner can be used for household or commer-
cial use.
BEFORE YOU PLUG IN YOUR CLEANER, check the rating
plate located on the cleaners back side to see if the rated
voltage agrees within 10% of the voltage available.
DO NOT OIL The motor in your new cleaner is permanently
lubricated and sealed. Do not oil the motor at any time.
During shipping, the dust bag may have become dislodged.
Check the bag to insure proper seating before attempting to
use the cleaner. Do not operate the cleaner without the dust
bag as damage may result to the motor.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermo protection
switch to prevent overheating of components. Should this
safety switch shut the system down it is necessary to wait at
least 5 -10 minutes for it to automatically reset. Remove
clogged elements in hose and replace dust bag if necessary
during this period. Check also filter if it is clogged.
For longer service life and safe use of your vacuum cleaner,
we recommend the following guidelines: Your cleaner is
designed to pick up dirt and dust particles. It is not designed
for water pick up. Avoid picking up hard or sharp objects
with your cleaner to avoid bag breakage, clogging or pos-
sible motor damage
