WEARING THE BACKPACK VACUUM
1.
Loosen the shoulder straps and the waist belt. Lift
the vacuum and slide your arms through the straps.
The upper harness can be adjusted by tightening or
loosening the buckles. (See Figure 11)
Figure 11
2. Connect the waist strap. (See Figure 12)
Figure 12
3. Tighten the waist belt by grabbing the ends of the straps,
pulling each end toward each other and then pulling
outward from the center of the body. It is very important
that the weight of the vacuum be concentrated on your
hips rather than your shoulders. (See Figure 13)
Figure 13
4. Adjust the shoulder straps so the vacuum fits
comfortably, but the weight is still concentrated on
hips. (See Figure 14)

OPERATING THE VACUUM
1.
Thread the extension cord through cord holder on
the waist belt (See Figure 16). Then plug the cord
into the on/off switch, also on the waist belt.
2. Do not tie extension cord to the waist belt or the switch-
to-vacuum power cord. Doing so will result in damage
to both cords and will not be covered under warranty.
3. Plug the extension cord into the wall and turn the
vacuum on.

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 in a
side-to-side motion. (See Figure 17)
3. The motion is similar to mopping and keeps the
upper body and arms from tiring.
