III. Safe Operating Practices
Save these Instructions
This section contains information for your protection,
safety and quick reference. When using an electrical
appliance basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following.
Read all Instructions before using the Blo-Vac™ System.
Do not leave the Blo-Vac™ when plugged in. Unplug
from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock: Do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the Blo-Vac™
is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
or dropped in water, return it to a service center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close
a door on cord, or pull around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run the Blo-Vac™ over cord. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or Blo-Vac™ with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked: keep free of dust, lint and anything that
may reduce air flow.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
When used for vacuum clean-up, do not use without filter
bag in place.
Turn off switch before unplugging.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids
such as gasoline. Do not use in areas where they
are present.
Use extra caution when working on a ladder, elevated
platforms, stairs, etc.
Do not use the power unit in a manhole — keep the
power unit above ground.
All GB/JetLine ® conduit fishing Blo-Vac™ systems are
designed to force loose debris of all types out of the
conduit by means of a pressurized force. Serious or
critical injury may result to anyone struck by high velocity
debris or the line carrier. Warn all personnel to stand
clear of the conduit exit prior to pressurization
procedures or blowing line into the conduit.
GB/JetLine ® Blo-Vac™ Systems have been designed
specifically for fishing conduit. The system, under certain
field conditions, may be used to remove debris or water
from the conduit. The electric motor is protected from
liquid entering the fan area by a float ball. If liquid is
discharged, the float ball has been defeated. Immediately
unplug unit from power source and check to make sure
the float ball is functioning properly and the sealing area
is free of foreign matter.
Failure to observe these instructions or misuse of
equipment could result in serious injury or possible death.
