IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
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
machine. If outlet is not suitable for safe use; have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Always use a properly grounded 3-wire extension cord, which has
male and female plugs. If 25 foot [7.6 m] extension cords are used,
the electrical carrying capacity should be no less than 14-3 ST, 50
foot [15.2 m] extension cords no less than 12-3 ST.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The machine
is provided with a three-conductor cord and a three-contact grounding type attachment plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. The green conductor in the cord is the ground wire. Never connect this
wire to other than the grounding pin of the attachment plug.
Check nameplate on the machine to be sure voltage and cycle stated is the same as the electrical
outlet. Do not attempt to plug a 120-volt machine into a 240-volt outlet or a 240-volt machine into a
120-volt outlet. If the machine is provided with an attachment plug as shown in Figure A. below, it is
intended for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure A.
is not available, an adapter may be installed as shown in Figure B. if the outlet box that houses the
receptacle is grounded. Be sure to fasten the grounding tab (the green colored rigid ear, lug or the like
extending from the adapter) with a metal faceplate screw.
If the machine is provided with an attachment plug as shown in Figure C., it is intended for use on a
nominal 240-volt circuit. Changes to the attachment plug or use of adaptors to other plug types must
be done in accordance with local regulations.

NOISE AND VIBRATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Now that the machine is unpacked remember to
recycle all packing materials.
Inspect the machine for damage or missing
components. If damage is found, contact the local
freight company to file a freight claim.
ASSEMBLY
The Pacer 30 requires minimal assembly. The filter
bag must be installed properly prior to use. Use of the
paper filter facilitates easier disposal.
Filter Bag
The Cloth filter bag may be used with or without the
paper filter insert. If a paper filter is used – it must be
inserted inside a cloth bag. The cloth bag supports
the paper filter. Without the cloth bag the paper filter
will burst or be blown out of position.
Lift the body cover to expose the bag connection.
Zip open the cloth filter bag. Grasp the rectangular
cardboard opening of the bag, and pull this over
the bag connection inside the front of the machine.
Zip the bag closed.
Paper Filter
The paper filter is to be inserted inside the cloth
bag before it is zipped closed.
First unfold the paper filter.
Grasp the rectangle cardboard opening of the
paper filter, and pull this over the bag connection
that is extending inside the cloth bag.
Tuck the excess paper filter bag into the cloth bag.
Zip the cloth bag closed.
MACHINE OPERATION
This machine is most productive when used walking
forward in a straight line. This machine does not
propel itself, but the action of the brush will help to
ease the movement.
Adjusting Brush Height
This machine can be adjusted to match the height of
the pile of the carpet.
The height indicator rod, and a calibration label are
located at the right rear of the machine.
Either foot may be used to select the brush setting,
by stepping on either foot pedal.
The setting should always as high as possible
while still properly vacuuming the carpeted floor.
Handle Height
The height of the handle is adjustable for the comfort
of the operator.
Remove the clevis pins on each side of the handle,
adjust the handle to a comfortable position.
Replace the clevis pins.
Control Panel
This machine operates by squeezing the switch
levers located on each side of the control panel.
Squeeze the switch levers to turn ON the machine.
Release the levers to turn the machine OFF.
Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker protects the electrical components
from overload. If the breaker POPS – check for
overload. The overload may be an obstruction in the
brush, a full bag, or the brush setting is too low to the
floor.
WAND OPTION
This machine may be equipped with the optional
WAND feature.
The WAND allows the operator to vacuum overhead
items or perform edge cleaning.
The WAND does not have full power vacuum.
When using the wand a portion of the vacuum air is
diverted to the wand, while the other portion of the
air continues to flow through the brush area – this
assures that the vacuum motors are properly
ventilated.
For best wand suction lower the brush adjustment
to the lowest position.
Using the Wand
Remove the wand from the holder.
Attach the second piece of the wand from the
holder on the body cover.
Choose the crevice or round brush tool and attach
the tool to the wand.
Turn the switch on the control panel ON when the
Wand is being used. This will turn ON the vacuum
motor but will not turn on the brush motor.
When finished with the wand, replace the wand into
the wand holder.
Turn the switch on the control panel to OFF, and
squeeze the switch levers to operate the machine
as normal.
HEPA FILTER OPTION
There are optional HEPA filters available for picking
up non-hazardous materials.

MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance is critical to ensure proper
machine operation and cleaning performance.
Perform all maintenance procedures as follows:
WARNING: Always unplug machine before
performing any maintenance. See page 2 for
warnings
Daily Maintenance
Inspect the cord and plug for any damage. Confirm
that the cord strain relief is being used.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the power cord,
ALWAYS store the machine with the power cord
coiled loosely over the handle.
Empty the filter bag after each use. Replace the
paper filter daily or when the filter is half full.
The filter bags must be emptied and cleaned on a
regular basis to prevent loss of vacuum suction
and possible machine damage. After emptying the
filter bag reinstall it back onto the machine.
Inspect the exhaust filter. Pull the filter out of the
slot at the rear of the machine. This filter may be
washed with mild dish soap, rinsed and completely
dried. Replace with new part as needed.
Inspect the vacuum motor filters. Tap the filters to
remove the dust buildup. Replace with new part
when needed.
Remove any string, hair or other materials
wrapped around the brush.
Weekly Maintenance
Verify that all daily maintenance has been done.
Inspect the belt for wear and tightness. Replace as
needed. The belt must not be too tight. The belt
should deflect 1/4” [6.4mm] between the thumb
and index finger.
Vacuum the inside of the filter bag (with another
vacuum cleaner) for maximum suction and filter
bag life.
Monthly
Verify that all weekly maintenance has been done.
Oil casters and wheels with a light machine oil.
Replace casters and wheels as necessary
Every 6 months
Check the length of the brush bristles.
Disassemble the shoe and rotate the bearing
blocks to lower the brush or replace brush.
Check the carbon brushes in the vacuum motors
for wear.
