Backpack Ergonomics - ProTeam SIERRA El Manual Del Propietario

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the vacuum will not operate, check the following:
a. The power supply cord at the wall outlet.
b. The power supply cord at the vacuum.
c. That the switch is in the "on" position and functioning properly.
2. If the pigtail (18" power cord) is getting warm, check the plugs to make sure they are
not damaged and check the extension cord to make sure it is 16 gauge (up to 50 ft) or
14 gauge if longer than 50 ft.
3. If the exhaust that comes out of the bottom of the vacuum is warmer than usual,
check, clean or replace all four filters.
4. If the power switch fails, check the circuit breaker in the building. If that is not the
problem, contact a ProTeam Warranty Station.
5. If loss of suction occurs, check the following:
a. Check that debris is not plugging the hose, wand, and/or floor tool.
b. Check, clean or replace both Intercept Micro and Micro Cloth filters.
c. Check that the hose cuffs are fitting tightly on the hose and are not cracked.
d. Check that the cap is properly attached to the vacuum body.
PROPER VACUUMING MOTION FOR
LARGE AREAS
1. Begin with the wand parallel to your body.
2. Draw the top of the wand in toward your waist and
twist at the waist walking backward or forward
(a side-to-side motion) (Figure CC).
3. The motion is similar to mopping and keeps the upper body
and arms from tiring.

BACKPACK ERGONOMICS

The weight of the vacuum should be carried on the operator's hips and be evenly dis-
n
tributed. The padded waist belt and shoulder straps are adjustable for a custom fit.
The ventilated backplate helps keep the operator cool.
n
n The on/off switch is conveniently placed for easy access on the waist belt of the
backpack vacuums. On the ProTeam Power Nozzle, the on/off switch is on the handle
of the electrified hose.
Use the proper attachments for the job. ProTeam has attachments to perform most
n
jobs without requiring that the operator bend over or get into difficult positions.
