1Introduction
The i-vac 30UR® is an easy and safe machine to use. Because the i-vac 30UR is equipped with an
internal rotating brush the cleaning is very efficient. You will be surprised how fast and effective the
i-vac 30UR is. It also comes with several different accessories for vacuuming on different surfaces.
Safety is guaranteed by the patented Whizzo indicator which makes a loud high tone when the bag is
full or the vacuum is clogged. This manual helps you get started and explains the operation and
maintenance procedure.
This manual is intended for those who work with the i-vac 30UR and perform maintenance. The
manual must be read in full before the first actions. This manual describes the correct method of use,
safety measures, maintenance and transport. And finally, the manual contains information about the
consumables: the rotating brush, cassette filters and dust bags.
i-team Professional continuously improves all their products based on user experience and feedback.
Any deviations between the texts and/or images from the manual and your i-vac 30UR can therefore
arise from the difference in model or from possible changes due to continuous development and
innovation.
