How to (comfortably) wear a Backpack Vacuum
Although it seems very simple, there is both a right way and a wrong
way to wear a backpack vacuum. The biggest mistake operators make is
wearing the weight of the backpack too high on the back. This is
caused by adjusting the shoulder straps first when the backpack is
placed on instead of after the waist belt is adjusted. Once the
correct method of wearing a backpack vacuum is learned, the difference
in comfort is amazing. Here is a step by step guide to adjusting and
wearing a backpack correctly.
1.
The FIRST step is to put the arms through the shoulder straps and
then greatly loosen the shoulder straps. This seems awkward at
first, but it allows the vacuum to sit as low as possible on the
operator’s hips.
2.
The second step is to fasten the belt low around the waist (at or
under the belt on one’s pants). Then tighten the belt of the
backpack until it is comfortably snug.
2.
Next, NOW its time to tighten the shoulder straps by pulling on
the adjustment straps. This will pull the top of the backpack
vacuum forward to snugly fit against the operator’s back.
2.
Finally, the shoulder straps should be fastened together with the
front cross strap and clasp and comfortably tightened. This
prevents the shoulder straps from slipping off the shoulders.
