FIRST TIME USE

 

  Make sure the PP101 Protector Plate is in place.  This  

      is necessary for proper suction.  

Upon receiving your vacuum system, lift off the lid.  

The protector plate should be located inside the can 

just below the HEPA bag.

The protector plate is installed correctly when it lays 

flat, prong side down, directly under the HEPA bag.  

The warning label should be facing up.  The plate 

provides a barrier between the HEPA bag and mesh 

screen.  This allows air to circulate preventing the mo-

tor from overheating.  

Do not throw this part away.

PP101

 

Protector Plate

Protector  plate must be 

installed properly for the 

vacuum to work

Before

 using your system for the first time, follow these 3 steps.

 

2  

 Install the HEPA bag onto the inlet inside the canister.  

First, take the bag and fully expand it.

Then place it in the canister and slide its gasket onto the 

inlet stem until it drops into place in the ridge that is 

around the inlet stem.  

Replace the lid onto the dirt canister and ensure that it 

seals properly.

 

3    

You will need to attach the curved wand to the hose.  

To do so, you will twist the wand to the 

LEFT

 as you 

thread it onto the hose.  Note: This is the opposite direc-

tion of typical threading.

 

REMINDER: This is not a wet pickup and cannot be used with liquid.  

Doing so will void warranty.
