Introduction; Motor, Eletrical, Grounding Instructions - ProTeam SIERRA El Manual Del Propietario

WARNING
• DO NOT vacuum with a frayed, worn, or damaged cord.
• DO NOT vacuum liquids or expose the vacuum to rain or water.
• DO NOT vacuum hazardous or toxic materials.
• DO NOT use vacuums to pick up flammable or combustible materials and do not
store them in the filter bag.
• DO NOT place backpack vacuum on ground while running for an extended period
of time.
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 (includ-
ing 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 severe personal
injury, including death in extreme cases.
ELECTRICAL
All backpack models are available in 120 volt/60 Hz. Some ProTeam models are available
in 220 volt/50 Hz. Call ProTeam for availability of 220 volt/50 Hz vacuums. This docu-
ment only applies to 120 volt/60 Hz, or 120 volt/400 Hz models. Severe changes in volt-
age, high or low, can cause damage to the motor and cause premature motor failure.
Model numbers and specifications can be obtained by calling ProTeam.
The vacuum cleaners described in this manual are equipped with a thermal protection
device. The integrated thermal switch will remove power from the vacuum motor in the
event excessively high operating temperatures are detected. This condition is normally the
result of a blocked vacuum passage, clogged or full filters.
Should a thermal trip take place, immediately turn off the vacuum and inspect for a
blockage and verify the condition of the filter bag and change or empty 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 a normal manner.
