IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Pg 2
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, ground-
ing 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 attach-
ment 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.
If the vacuum cleaner shuts off automatically due to overheating protection:
● Turn off the vacuum cleaner switch and disconnect the power cord.
Check filter, hose, wands and tools for blockage.
● Replace the filter bag if it is full of debris or has been used to pick up very fine
particles, such as powder or sheetrock dust, which will prematurely clog the
filter bag.
● With the power cord disconnected from the outlet, let the vacuum cleaner cool
for a minimum of 30 minutes before using again.
● After the thirty minute cool down period, plug the power cord in, turn the
vacuum cleaner on and resume cleaning.

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.
Make sure lid is screwed and locked on the vacuum. Take vacuum hose and
push into round opening on top of lid.
Put backpack on and adjust shoulder straps and waist belt until backpack is
comfortable. Harness is made for any custom fit. Attached hose to commercial
wand. Attach desired tool to bottom of wand by loosening nut and pushing in
tool. Tighten nut until tool is in place. Tool will swivel when using side to side
motion. Never take nut off wand or risk losing metal ring inside the nut. The
function of the metal ring is to hold tool in place in its slotted groove.
OPERATION OF YOUR NEW
LAVEX JANITORIAL HEPA BACKPACK VACUUM CLEANER

A 50 foot 16/3 grounded extension cord comes with the LAVEX
JANITORIAL backpack vacuum cleaner. Simply plug the power cord
into the receptacle located by the switch box and plug into appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Never stretch or pull cord tightly or this
will damage the cord and create a danger. Never use cord if it is ripped
or has a tear. Unplug extension cord and wrap loosely when not in
use. Make sure cord is always grounded. LAVEX JANITORIAL will
accept no liability of backpack vacuum if cord is not grounded, in-
serted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground
wire or using a cord without a ground plug voids the warranty on the
backpack. Improper connections can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personel if you have any
question or doubt that the outlet is properly grounded.
The power nozzle receptacle can be used in the optional power nozzle
for revolving brush deep cleaning.

Your LAVEX JANITORIAL backpack comes with a switch box that has

Simply push rocker switch to on or off position to operate.
