OPERATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The vacuum Must be grounded. If the 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 Nobles will

accept NO liability associated with the unit.

Improper connection of the equipment–grounding

connector conductor 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 provided with the

vacuum. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

PROPER STORAGE

When the vacuum is not in use, it should be stored in

a dry place.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock or injury, empty the filter bag after every

use and before storage. Some types of dust and

debris may combust.

PROPER VACUUMING MOTION FOR

LARGE AREAS WITH DIRECT SUCTION

TOOLS

1. Begin with the wand parallel to your body.

2. Draw the top of the wand in toward your waist and

twist at the waist walking backward or forward

(a side–to–side motion) (Figure 20).

FIG. 20

3. The motion is similar to mopping and keeps the

upper body and arms from tiring.

WARNING: DO NOT use machine to pick up

flammable or combustible materials or anything

that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,

matches, or hot ashes.

ERGONOMICS

The weight of the vacuum should be carried on the

operator’s hips and be evenly distributed.

The padded waist belt or waist and shoulder straps

are adjustable for a custom fit.

The backpack vacuums have a ventilated backplate

to keep the operator cool.

The on/off switch is conveniently placed for easy

access on the waist belt of the TrailBlazer and on

the left side of the Trailblazer Lite body.

Use the proper attachments for the job. Pro–Team has

attachments to perform most jobs without requiring

that the operator bend over or get into difficult

positions.

CARING FOR YOUR VACUUM

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock or injury unplug unit from wall outlet when

not in use and before servicing.

1. Every time you finish vacuuming, shake out the

cloth and Micro filters.

2. Each week, rinse, dry and return the foam/filter

diffuser to the bottom of the TrailBlazer below the

motor.

3. After each shift, wipe the inside and outside of the

vacuum with a household cleaning agent.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

by qualified service personnel only and is to

Have a qualified service person at an authorized

Nobles Service Dealer CHECK the carbon brushes

on the motor every six months and replace any

brush worn down to ½”in length.

DO NOT lubricate the motor; it is equipped with

sealed bearings.
