Turbocat™ Zoom
USE & CARE OF YOUR TURBINE POWERHEAD
[A] Attaching the Turbocat™Zoom Powerhead
To attach your metal wand, simply insert wand into powerhead neck until it fits
snugly. The built-in, locking mechanism will prevent the wand from coming loose. To
detach the wand, depress wand release tab on back
of neck with foot or hand and twist the wand free.
(See illustration Figure. 1 & Figure. 2)
The wand can be locked in an upright position by pushing it forward until the lock is
engaged. This lock position is convenient for storage and liing the power-
head. To release wand from the vertical locked position, gently place foot on
powerhead, grasp wand and pull back. (See Figure. 3)
This Turbocat™ Zoom powerhead has been engineered for higher perfor-
mance, quieter operation and superior cleaning ability. It has been
carefully designed and manufactured for long life, reliable performance
and convenient cleaning. It requires no electricity because it runs off the
airflow of your central vacuum system. The Turbocat™ Zoom powerhead
moves easily and does not require downward pressure for thorough
cleaning.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read and save this Instruction Manual
As with any tool with moving parts, caution must be exercised
while using the turbine powerhead.
1. Keep hair, hands and feet away from rotating brush while turbine
powerhead is running.
2. Remember that turbine powerheads operate whenever they
are connected to a running vacuum. If children are present,
make sure to turn vacuum system off when leaving the power
head unit unattended.
3. Do not attempt to service or unclog turbine powerhead while
the unit is running.
[B] Operating Procedures
Your Turbocat™ Zoom powerhead runs off the airflow of your vacuum
system. It has no on/off switch. Whenever it is attached to an operating
vacuum system, it will be running. No adjustments to the powerhead are
necessary for different types of carpeting.
To Ensure maximum efficiency of the Turbocat™ Zoom powerhead, make
sure filters, bags and cleaning hoses in your vacuum system are clean and
free of blockage.
Avoid picking up water or spilled liquid with your Turbocat™ Zoom
powerhead. The vacuum system is designed for dry pick up only.
[C] Cleaning Roller Brush
Turn off vacuum system and disconnect Powerhead. Threads, string,
carpet fiber, fuzz and similar items may become wound around the beater
brush. These should be removed by unwinding them by hand or carefully
cutting with scissors. Keeping the beater brush clean will maintain
efficiency. (See Figure. 4)
