STEP 1.
To loosen the shoulder pad:
1. Pull the adjustment strap away from the Shoulder Pad,

Insert opposite arm through the shoulder strap by which
the machine is lifted. Slide other arm through the remain-
ing strap.
STEP2
Waist Pad - Preliminary Adjustment
3. Position the waist-band into the 'small' of your
back just above your backside. This will lower the
centre of gravity of the unit, and positions the weight
closer to the body onto the stronger pelvic area. It
provides freedom of movement for the arms, and
prevents the unit from riding up the
4. Tighten the elasticised waist belt by overlapping
the hook and loop flaps until secure and comforta-
ble.
STERP 3

Using
For comfortable operation, stand upright with a relaxed
posture, arms hanging loosely to the side.
Maintaining a straight wrist, hold the hand grip section of
the wand with one hand, parallel to the floor.
When vacuuming under office desks, the reach of the
wand is sufficient to avoid bending at the waist.
When vacuuming under lower profile objects or when
picking up items off the floor, bend the knees and
maintain a straight back.
When turning, do not twist at the waist.
Turn using your feet.
Page 7
Operation
Working
Plan the work path based on location of the power
point, room/furniture layout, and entrance and exit
points.
Commence vacuuming using a systematic approach
working one half of the area first, away from the power
point, and then the other half of the area, returning
back to the start.
Ensure that the power cord is clear of feet to reduce
likelihood of tripping.
