Grounding Instructions
Save your sales or purchase slip. Should your Oreck appliance require
warranty service in the U.S.A., present this slip to the Authorized Service
Center as your proof of purchase date or, in Canada, call customer service.
DANGER: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The vacuum 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.
Vacuum Cleaner Care
Treat your vacuum cleaner as you would any other high grade precision
made product. Dropping and other misuses may result in a damaged
unit which will not be covered by warranty.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, bring unit to an
authorized service center. This electric equipment is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in (Fig A).
When not in use, the power cord should be wrapped around the molded-in
cord wrap for storage. After each use, wipe the vacuum body,
accessories and power cord with a damp cloth.
Read this manual completely before operating this vacuum. It is
important to follow the instructions in the manual to prevent the
possibility of injury or damage to the user and/or machine.
Operation & Assembly
This vacuum is equipped with an air-thru motor and is designed for dry
pickup only. Unpack the carton and remove the vacuum and
attachments. The backpack comes assembled; you will need to install
the hose and attachments.
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.
NOTE: Some accessories are packed inside the units.
To Change Paper Filter Bag
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
1. Turn top lid of vacuum a half turn counterclockwise
and remove from the body.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by
the Canadian Electrical Code.
2. Remove full paper bag from the tank and dispose
of properly.
Adjustment Instructions
3. Expand paper filter bag and set inside the cloth
filter.
Proper fitting and adjustment of the straps is necessary to ensure fatigue
free use. The most important item to remember when adjusting the
shoulder straps and the hip belt is that it is the hip belt that supports
the BackPack, not the shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are there
to provide stability to balance the load, NOT to bear the weight.
4. Reinstall top lid and turn a half turn clockwise to
tighten.
CAUTION: Always exercise caution when handling the vacuum.
Dropping the vacuum could cause permanent damage to the internal
components.
Hip Belt
Cloth Filter Maintenance
Loosen the shoulder straps and the hip belt and place
the BackPack on your back with your arms through the
shoulder straps. Position the belt on your hips. This
should be about 2” below where you would wear a
normal belt. Connect the male and female connectors
together. Grasp the adjustment strap on each side of
the hip belt connector and pull out, parallel to the
ground, until the hip belt is firmly cinched to your hips.
The cloth filter should be cleaned each time you empty the tank. DO
NOT WASH the cloth filter because shrinkage of the cloth and damage
to the gasket can occur. To clean the cloth filter, shake off loose particles
and brush exposed surface with a soft bristle brush.
To Connect Hose
1. Connect the non-swivel end of the hose into the inlet on top of
vacuum.
Shoulder Straps
2. Connect the swivel end of hose to the wand or tool you are
planning to use.
Now that you have the hip belt in place and tightened
you may adjust the shoulder straps. Grasp the
Wand Assembly
adjustment strap at the bottom of each shoulder pad and
pull the straps downward until the straps are fitted to
your body. When properly adjusted you should be able
to slide two fingers under the strap on top of your
shoulder. Any irritation around the shoulder area
indicates your shoulder straps are too tight.
The two piece wand requires some assembly.
1. Align the button lock of the upper wand section
with the opening for button lock in the lower
wand section.
2. Push sections together; unit lock is
accomplished.
