Preface
Thank you for purchasing the i-vac® 6 vacuum cleaner. The i-vac® 6 has been developed using the
feedback form users with years of experience, as a result the i-vac® 6 has some clever innovations.
The body for example, is made from durable and impact resistant material, and parts can easily be
replaced, its extended lifetime making it greener than other vacuum cleaners. The cassette filter
prevents tiny harmful particles like dust, bacteria and dust mites from being reintroduced back into
the environment, resulting in cleaner and improved air quality. To prevent overheating a thermo
sensor is added to automatically cut of the power supply. i-team Professional has developed the
Whizzo which makes a whistling sound when a blockage occurs and the pressure inside the i-vac® 6
gets too high. During office hours you can lower the sound level of the i-va®c 6 by running it in
"LOW" power mode. The flat nose tool, with its low profile is designed to adjust on different surfaces
and can reach underneath most difficult areas. Finally, the i-vac® 6 has a fragrance cassette to
disperse fresh air during operation.
The i-vac® 6 is easy to use when you follow the instructions. Please read the user manual carefully.
Become familiar with the correct operation and maintenance procedures. Store the manual in a safe
place. The manual is an essential part of the i-vac® 6 and must be handed over to the new owner
upon resale or exchange. Each i-vac® 6 has a unique identification number that can be found
underneath the can. Your i-team partner needs this number when you order parts.
When this manual refers to “the manufacturer” this means: Future Cleaning Technologies B.V., an
affiliate company of i-team in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. When this manual mentions “partner”
your local i-team resell and support service partner is referred to.

1 Introduction
The i-vac 6® is an easy and safe machine to use. It is equipped with several different accessories for
vacuuming different surfaces and safety equipment like the Whizzo. 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 6® and perform daily maintenance (see
also "Target Audience"). 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 accessories: the tools and brush.
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 6® can therefore
arise from the difference in model or from possible changes due to continuous development and
innovation.
1.1 Intended use of the product
The i-vac 6® is intended for indoor use for the collection of dry materials only.
Figure 1
The i-vac 6® is suitable for commercial use. For example: in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops
and offices.
In order to use the i-vac 6® on different types of surfaces, four tools are provided. These tools are
easy to replace. Select the right tool for each job, see Figure 2.

Check the filters, dust bag, main power cable and hose regularly for pollution or damage. Replace
damaged parts. For more information on how to order i-vac 6® parts, please see section 7.4.
ONLY USE original i-team Professional parts! i-team Professional does NOT give warranty in case non
original parts are used. This is especially important in case of the dust bag as this has a fleece lining
which prevents the filter from becoming wet when you vacuum an absorbent doormat.
Make sure that the i-vac 6® Is maintained as described in section 7 Maintenance. Not following the
recommended maintenance may lead to hazardous situations and i-team Professional may NOT give
warranty.
Keep the i-vac 6® and the accessories clean.

 wet materials or water;
