IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the recommended attachments and
replacement parts.
2. DO NOT leave any ProTeam vacuum plugged in when not in use. Unplug unit from
the outlet before servicing. Do not leave running while unattended.
3. DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
4. DO NOT try to recover any liquid with this vacuum. This vacuum is for DRY
RECOVERY only.
5. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG. If the unit is not working as it should,
or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or exposed to water, take it to an
authorized ProTeam Warranty Station for inspection and repair.
6. DO NOT allow the vacuum to be used as a toy. Pay close attention when using the
vacuum near children.
7. DO NOT pull or carry the vacuum by the cord or use the cord as a handle. Do not
close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run
over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
8. DO NOT pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
9. DO NOT handle the plug, switch, or vacuum with wet hands.
10. DO NOT put any objects into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and mov-
ing parts.
12. Turn off the unit before unplugging.
13. Use with extra care when cleaning stairs.
14. DO NOT vacuum flammable or combustible materials or anything that is burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
15. Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk of fire
or explosion, do not use near combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as gasoline or
other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, or natural gas.
16. To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors or dust, DO NOT vacuum or use near toxic
or hazardous materials.
17. Empty the Intercept Micro® Filter after every use and before storage. Some types of
wood dust and debris may catch on fire, if stored in the vacuum.
18. DO NOT use without filters in place.
19. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Violation of any of these instructions may void any and all warranties.
Read Owner’s Manual before using this product. Failure
to do so can result in serious injury or death. To reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
WARNING
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
• USE ONLY genuine ProTeam replacement filters to ensure optimal performance,
achieve improved indoor air quality, and to maintain a valid vacuum warranty.
• DO NOT vacuum with a frayed, worn, or damaged cord.
• DO NOT vacuum liquids or expose the vacuum to rain or water.
• DO NOT vacuum hazardous or toxic materials.
• DO NOT use vacuums to pick up flammable or combustible materials and do not
store them in the filter bag.
• DO NOT place backpack vacuum on ground while running for an extended period
of time.
MOTOR
Electric thru-flow vacuum motors must never be used in applications in which wet or
moist conditions are involved, where dry chemicals or other volatile materials are present,
or where airflow may be restricted or blocked. Such motors are designed to permit the
vacuumed air to pass over the electrical wiring to cool it. Therefore, any liquid (includ-
ing water), dry chemical, or other foreign substance which would come in contact with
electrical conductors could cause combustion (depending on volatility) or electrical shock.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in property damage and severe personal
injury, including death in extreme cases.
ELECTRICAL
All backpack models are available in 120 volt/60 Hz. Some ProTeam models are available
in 220 volt/50 Hz. Call ProTeam for availability of 220 volt/50 Hz vacuums. This docu-
ment only applies to 120 volt/60 Hz, or 120 volt/400 Hz models. Severe changes in volt-
age, high or low, can cause damage to the motor and cause premature motor failure.
Model numbers and specifications can be obtained by calling ProTeam.
Each vacuum cleaner described in this manual is equipped with a thermal protection cut-
off switch which will remove power from the vacuum motor if excessively high operating
temperatures are detected. This condition may arise as the result of a blocked vacuum
passage, or clogged or full filters.
If a thermal trip takes place, immediately toggle the vacuum’s switch to OFF and inspect
for an airflow blockage in the hose and verify the condition of the filter bag. Replace or
empty the filter bag as required. The vacuum will require several minutes to cool down to
a safe operating temperature. When this temperature is attained, the thermal switch will
reset and the vacuum will be able to be used in the normal manner.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THESE VACUUMS MUST BE GROUNDED. If a vacuum should malfunction or stop working,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the
risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting
off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the
warranty on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with the unit.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you doubt that the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided with the vacuum. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The vacuum cleaners in this manual are for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and have
a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a prop-
erly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code.
For Canada – This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. Make sure that
the vacuums are connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with the vacuums detailed in this manual.
