Instruction Manual
One Operator Unit
**IMPORTANT**
**KEEP FOR FUTURE USE**
THE TOTE CLIPPER VAC®
The Tote Clipper Vac® is a portable, one operator unit designed to be placed on a table or shelf,
not on the floor.
The Tote Clipper Vac® holds 6 gallons of hair; however, empty as often as necessary. Do not
suffocate your motor by improper emptying of the unit.
The main regulator is on the clipper heads.
The Tote Clipper Vac® is designed for years of use with the proper care.
Operational and Safety
Guidelines
¨
Do not operate the Clipper Vac® with a crushed vacuum hose. This will restrict airflow to
your motor and cause it to over heat, causing the motor to prematurely fail.
¨
Do not operate in areas where flammable vapors are present.
¨
Never spray cool lube into blades while Clipper Vac® is connected.
¨
Do not remove upper door without first disconnecting the electrical supply.
¨
Never work on the electrical components without first disconnecting the electrical supply.
¨
Do not vacuum wet or damp materials.
¨
Do not vacuum excessive dirt and debris.
¨
Never run your Clipper Vac® without the filter on.
DO NOT HANG UNIT BY HANDLE
Maintaining Your Clipper Vac®
Your Clipper Vac® can be easily maintained and have a long lasting life using these simple tasks:
1.
We recommend replacing your filter every 8-12 months. This does not require dismantling
the motor.
DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO CHANGE IT!
See
instructions on page 6.
2. Replace the motor brushes after approximately 1 to 1½ years, 1000 hours of use, or when
the motor fails.
3.
Keep the hair storage box clean; do not overfill.
4.
Each clipper attachment is different. Please follow the instructions that were furnished with
attachment.

Brush Changing Procedures
To remove the used brush:
Loosen the two screws holding the brush clamp enough
to allow the
brush to lift upward and slide out.
Note
: It is not necessary to completely remove the
screws.
To install the new brush:
Slide the new brush in with the pin facing downward. The
brush should
lock into place. The pin should be inside the
slot on the motor housing. Tighten
both screws - be careful
not to over tighten.
Repeat procedure for other brush.
Test run motor before replacing the top on the unit
The new brushes may spark more than normal until they wear in.
Filter Changing Procedure
Never operate the Clipper VAC® without the filter on the motor. When ordering filters, be sure
to specify that your filter is held in place by a nut.
1. Unplug the Clipper Vac system.
2. Open the lower compartment.
3. Remove the wing nut under filter.
4. Pull filter downward and remove.
5. Clean area where filter contacts the motor.
6. Install new filter and replace the nut. Make sure the filter is pressed tightly against the shelf
or hair will enter the motor. Do not over tighten the nut.
7.
Tighten the wing nut.
