How to Assemble the GoVac

Quick and Easy Assembly

1.

2.

3.

Assemble the Handle by screwing together two (2) pieces of the Metal Extension Handle. To lengthen, use all three (3) pieces of the Metal Extension Handle. Place the colored Handle Grip on top of the metal extension assembly and twist clockwise until secure. Screw the

D-shaped End into the bottom of the Metal Extension

Handle assembly.

Place bottom D-shaped End into the D-shaped opening at the top of the GoVac. Push firmly until the button at the bottom “clicks” into place in the opening.

The GoVac must be fully charged before using. To charge the unit, plug the DC Adapter into a standard electrical outlet (120v-60hz); plug the opposite end into the port on the Motor side of your GoVac. The GoVac is now charging.

Charging the Battery

When completely charged, the GoVac provides over 12 minutes of full cleaning power.

When charging for the first time, allow to charge uninterrupted for at least 24 hours. Thereafter, a 12 -16 hour charge will renew the GoVac battery.

Decreased operating time may indicate the battery has built up a charging resistance. To recharge, first completely exhaust the battery, recharge it, then exhaust it again before recharging a second time. This procedure may be required more than once.

When not charging, be sure to unplug the GoVac from the charger.

Plug into Port on the Motor side of the GoVac

How To Use Your GoVac

The GoVac is a quick and easy way to clean your home.

1.

Tip back the Handle into typical use position and your

GoVac turns on by itself. To turn GoVac off, return Handle to upright position.

2.

3.

To clean small areas, detach the Handle by depressing the button where the bottom of the Handle slides into the

GoVac and pull the entire Handle assembly out. Use the

GoVac by holding the built-in hand grip.

When done, replace the Handle (if detached) and store for the next use.

Maintenance

The key to maximum performance is emptying the Dust Cup frequently and cleaning the Filter. Emptying the Dust Cup after each use, and cleaning the Filter periodically, will help your

GoVac operate at peak efficiency.

Make sure that the GoVac is in the “OFF” position.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

With GoVac facing away from you, grasp Dust Cup in right hand and turn it toward you (toward the back of the GoVac).

Carry the Dust Cup, with Filter in place, to a waste container.

Remove Filter, empty debris, then replace Filter in Dust Cup.

Replace Dust Cup by placing it in position and turning it away from you until it fits securely.

Clean exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water only. Do not use a strong detergent or other cleaner - this may damage the finish. Always unplug the GoVac from the electrical outlet before cleaning the surface.

After heavy usage, you may clean the Filter by gently rinsing it in a bowl of water and mild dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly under running water and make certain it is completely dry before replacing it. You may also purchase replacement Filters.

Use only BISSELL Filters in the GoVac. If the Filter becomes damaged or becomes too dirty to wash, you may purchase new filters by calling

BISSELL Consumer Services.
