MOTOR
The Prolux 10-quart back pack vacuum uses the industry’s best motor, the Amtek motor. Amtek 119534-00
vacuum motors must never be used in an application 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, dry
chemical, or other foreign substance which could 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.
THERMO-PROTECTOR INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a thermo-protector, which will cut off the circuit automatically to prevent the
motor from overheating. Sufficiently plugging the airway for an extended period will result in the vacuum
shutting off. If this occurs, press the switch to turn the vacuum to its “OFF” position and wait about 5 minutes
for the motor to cool to a safe operating temperature. Be sure to determine the cause of overheating and rectify
the problem before using the vacuum cleaner again, or it will continue to overheat and shut off. In some instance
the circuit is cut off because of high motor temperature caused by dust bag clog or airway block. Please unplug
the vacuum and check the inner paper dust bag and airway. If the dust bag is too dirty and clogged, replace
with a new one. If the airway is blocked, please get rid of the blockage before use. The motor can be restarted
when it is cool.
ELECTRICAL
The vacuum motor operates on a standard 120 volt, 60Hz, AC circuit. Severe changes in voltage, high or low,
can cause damage to the motor and cause premature motor failure.
EXTENSION CORD
To prevent electrical damage, use a 25 ft /16-gauge extension cord (not provided). If you need to use a 100-
foot cord, it must be 14-gauge or larger. You may use extension cords up to, but no longer than, 100 feet.
