• Do not use without micro cloth bag and micro paper bag inside cloth bag. Shake out cloth bag and replace paper bag frequently when picking up very fine material such as powder.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION

The motor of this vacuum cleaner shuts off when the temperature rises above the proper operating level. This prevents damage from overheating and prolongs the life of the motor.

Unscrew the top of your LAVEX JANITORIAL HEPA backpack vacuum. Make sure the micro filter bag and the HEPA media filter bag are inside. Once checked put back micro filter cloth bag and HEPA media filter bag and screw back on top lid.

Both the micro filter cloth bag and HEPA media filter bag filter the air while holding all debris. The micro filter cloth bag with its rubber top provides the seal for the vacuum while also filtering the air. Replace or empty each as necessary.
