RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

WARNING
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. Remove and 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. Check power nozzle. Cut and remove hair, string, lint, etc. wrapped
around roller. Be careful not to damage the brush strips on the brush roller.
PERIODICALLY
Check power nozzle belt and replace as needed. Check harness for fit and comfort. Replace lost
or damaged pieces.
MAINTENANCE OF THE WESSEL POWER NOZZLE
DO NOT OIL. The motor in your power nozzle is permanently lubricated and sealed. DO NOT
oil the motor at any time.
ELECTRICAL CORD CARE
NEVER stretch the cord tightly between the vacuum and the outlet. A cord that is stretched or
pulled will not function properly and can damage the cord or plug, and creates a tripping hazard
DO NOT tie extension cord and power cord together in a knot in an effort to keep the connec-
tion together. Doing so will result in damage to both cords and will not be covered under war-
ranty. Instead, use the provided cord holder.
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 applica-
tion. Extension cord jacket type should be SJT 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 100 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.

Use the following schedule for replacement:
1. After the first 800 hours of operation.
2. Again after the next 400 hours of operation.
3. Again after the next 200 hours of operation.
