IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. |
DAN GER ™ 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 it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. ВЕ
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug in the sketch below. Make sure that the
machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter should be used with this machine. (Fig. 1).

ASSEMBLY, USE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR
BREEZE VACUUM CLEANER
You have purchased the most efficient, convenient and cost effective tool
available for doing any dry pick-up cleaning job in the least amount of
time, i.e. carpeted and hard floor areas, baseboards, stairs, walls, ceilings,
furniture and any hard-to-get areas. As with any specialized tool, proper
care should be taken to insure its service to you for many years. Please
read and follow these instructions carefully before using. So you can take
advantage of all its benefits. To prepare for use, remove all the parts from
the box. Remove all the cleaning tools and any packaging material. Before
using this machine, BE SURE THE CLOTH FILTER BAG [5 ALWAYS
INPLACE. | | o
USE OF THE BREEZE AS A BACK PACK
‘To use properly, face the back
. plate and put the harness on
your back as you would a
vest by grasping the right
— shoulder strap in your left -
hand and putting your right
arm through the strap. Grasp
the bottom of the case with
‘your right hand and move the
unit left so you can put your
left arm through the other
strap. Loosen the shoulder
straps enough to allow the
waist belt to be buckle
around your waist. Buckle
and tighten the waist belt
around your waist first, then
tighten ‘the shoulder straps
until they are comfortable,
using all four adjustment
points. Do not over-tighten
shoulderstraps. (Fig 2).
If you have an attachment bag, chip it to one of the trian gular plastic
rings onthe waist belt. E ig3)
Fig 3
Be sure the power cord is hooked securely to the large plastic waist
belt strain relief. (Fig4)
Fig 4
To remove, simply reverse the process.
To attach the hose to the lid, press the hose end in while twisting
it clockwise until it locks in place. (Fig 3)
To remove twist counter clockwise.
With the hose locked into the lid, bring the hose over your shoulder from
the rear and position it between your arm and your body to keep it from
catching on objects as you work. (Fig 6)
Fig 6
To put the wands or tools (Fig 7) on the hose end: (D For the button lock
wands, line the button on the upper wand with the hole in the lower wand
and press together until the button "locks™ in the hole, (2) For friction-fit
wands and tools, push the wand ог tool on and twist it 1/4 turn to lock it in
place. Use the "bleeder valve" on the plastic bent wand to control suction
for cleaning curtains, etc. — | |
Check to see that you have all the attachments you will need for your job
and that they are easily accessible (in the attachment bag). (Fig 7)

FIN
Because the BREEZE will protrude from your back when in use,
care should be taken not to accidently bump into objects such as
lamps and other breakable items.
The BREEZE relies on suction and airflow to perform well. Ifyou are using
the cloth filter bag alone, you should dump and shake out the bag every two
to three hours of cleaning. | |
If you are using the ULTRASTAT BAG, check it after two to three hours
of use. '
Note: In removing top lid, be aware the lid is permanently fastened to one
side. | | |
Using your free hand, pull the cord along as you move to keep it from
catching on furniture and corners. This will help protect breakable fixtures
and the cord from damage. You can also use your free hand to move large
objects to clean underneath, and pick up debris too large to vacuum.
pret mmr
Carry the BREEZE by the built-in handle - NOT by the hose or cord! (Fig 9)
Fig 9
When you have finished cleaning, shake out the cloth filter bag or check
the ULTRASTAT bag to see if it's full and, if so, dispose of it. Wipe it off
inside and out using a dry cloth, Coil the cord by first unplugging it and
start coiling it at.the machine end so the cord can naturally untwist itself.
Occasionally, you may have to wash out the foam motor filter or launder
the cloth filter bag if you accidentally pick up moisture that would clog the
pores. Regular daily maintenance will provide reliable service while
increasing your productivity.
IMPORTANT!
The BREEZE is a high efficiency, super suction vacuum requiring a large
volume of air to cool the motor. Be sure to keep all airways clear and free
of debris to maintain airflow efficiency and low motor temperature. Pick
up large pieces of debris by hand. If you should accidentally plug the hose
with debris (you will notice a significant loss of suction), use a broom
“handle or like object to free the obstruction. Also, check the airway in your
cleaning tool.
DO NOT PICK UP LIQUID'S as they will cake the cloth filter bag and
could cause electrical shock. If you ACCIDENTALLY. pick up any liquid,
wash and dry the bag immediately. Be sure the bag is COMPLETELY dry
before using it again.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
Plugging the airway for an extended period will result in the vacuum
shutting off to prevent 1ts overheating. 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 it again, or it
will continue to overheat and shut off. In some instances, very fine dirtcan
_ plug the cloth filter bag enough to cause the vacuum {0 shut off. If you are
using the ULTRASTAT bag, check to see if it's full and replace it if
necessary. If you are using the cloth filter bag alone, we recommend you
have a spare clean cloth filter as a backup. You can switch bags and
launder the dirty cloth filter bag. DO NOT WASH OR DRY THE BAGIN
HOT TEMPERATURES (above 130 degrees F). Air drymg 1s
recommended. Be sure the bag is thoroughly dry before using it.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the BREEZE clean inside and out. If you are using the cloth
filter bag alone, always dump that bag after a maximum of 4 hours
ofuse. (Fig 10). -

If you have vacuumed any material you don't want getting into the
atmosphere, leave the vacuum on while removing the lid and
checking orreplacing the bags. |
Occasionally clean the foam motor filter by removing it from the
motor, turning 1t upside down and tapping it firmly on a hard
surface to release the fine dust. Remove the foam motor filter by
lifting the plastic frame off the motor (under the cloth filter bag)
Replace by pushing the plastic frame firmly over the motor, At the
same time check the motor filter, check and clean the exhaust filter
by removing the exhaust cover, unscrewing the thumb nuts holding
it m place. Wash the exhaust filter in warm soapy water, shake it
dry, and replace overthe exhaust.
Be careful to check for fraying of the power extension cord or any
other problems that may occur after extended use. To store or carry
the BREEZE, wrap the cord STARTING AT THE MACHINE
END (to prevent twisting) and secure it to the machine handle with
the attached cord holder for safety and longer cord life.
~ If you have any questions regarding the use and/or maintenance of
the BREEZE please contact your nearest representative.
