WARNING!
Battery and Charging Safety:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, re, battery explosion, or injury:
1. Use only Tornado charger X1194 and Tornado battery pack X1200
2. DO NOT expose battery packs to temperatures above 122°F (50°C). Never leave battery packs in
automobiles on hot days, where temperatures can be much higher than the outside temperature.
3. DO NOT use or store vacuum or batteries in wet or moist conditions, or with ammable or combus-
tible materials.
4. DO NOT charge batteries or store battery for extended periods,1 month or more, in temperatures
above 90°F (32°C) or below 40°F (5°C).
5. When charging, make sure that the charger has at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides. Ad-
equate airow is required to cool the charger when in use.
6. Connect charging cord to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
7. DO NOT use a damaged cord or plug for charging.
8. DO NOT pull on charger’s cord to unplug. Grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
9. DO NOT handle the charger’s cord plug with wet hands when inserting into electrical outlet.

battery into the lower housing until it clicks in
place (Fig. 1).

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following operating instructions carefully. They will help you to get the best
performance from this professional quality vacuum cleaner and to maintain it in optimum condition.
Follow these simple steps for easy and effective operation of the Backpack vacuum.
Open the lid and ensure that the cloth bag is correctly located and the exible ring provides a proper
seal when the lid is closed. For optimum performance, ltration and maximum hygiene, it is advisable
to use a paper vacuum bag in addition to the standard cloth bag.
If a paper vacuum bag is used, simply insert it into the cloth bag, making sure that the cardboard disk
is centered on the exible sealing ring. When you replace the lid, the short nozzle in the center of the
lid will be forced into the central hole of the cardboard disk of the paper vacuum bag thus providing
a tight seal. Make sure the paper vacuum bag is tightly secured over the short nozzle before
vacuuming.
Lock the lid down with the two latches. Always ensure that the cloth vacuum bag is empty and the
paper bag is no more than ½ full before vacuuming. The vacuum hose is tted into the cuff in the lid.
It should not be necessary to remove the hose in normal operation.
1. Place the Backpack vacuum on your back, adjust the shoulder straps until you feel comfortable
and then tighten the waist belt. The Backpack vacuum is designed to ride higher on your back
for maximum comfort.
2. Attach the extension wand to the hose and t the oor tool or any of the other vacuuming
accessories on the wand.
3. Turn the vacuum on. The toggle switch is located on the lower housing.
4. After you nish cleaning, turn off the main power switch.

PREPARING BATTERY PACK FOR CHARGING
1. Plug the charger's power cord into the battery (Fig. 6).
2. Plug the charger's power cord into 120V wall outlet (Fig. 7).
3. The indicator light should turn Red and blink while charging and turn Green when fully charged
(Fig. 8). The battery pack may require approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge.
4. Verify the charge level of the battery pack by pressing the power level indicator button on the front
of the pack. (Fig. 9). Four lights (one red and three green) indicate a fully charged battery. Unplug bat-
tery from charger and unplug cord from wall outlet after charging.
*Battery pack may get warm while charging.

approximately every six months. Replace the exhaust lter every fourth time the paper vacuum bags
are changed.

2. Detach the exhaust lter holder from the bottom of the unit (Fig. 16)
3. Remove the exhaust lter from the holder (Fig. 17)
4. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE FILTER HOLDER.
5. Remove the exhaust lter from the plastic holder and shake or brush dirt from the lter.
6. Replace the exhaust lter in the plastic holder and place into vacuum.

MAINTENANCE
Clean the cloth vacuum bag regularly. After emptying the vacuum bag, turn it inside out and shake as
much dust out of the fabric as possible. Optimum performance is achieved by using a paper lter bag
with the cloth bag.

restored.
Use only approved Tornado paper lter bags.
Ensure the vacuum hose, the extension wand and the vacuuming accessories are not blocked.
