Walter: (offscreen) "Welcome to this training module on the Bissell 22Q3 Zing Bagged Canister Vacuum. the 22Q3 is a powerful tool for vacuuming floors, crevices, hard to reach areas, and other areas. used properly, the 22Q3 can clear these areas very quickly, and effectively. the following course will teach you the basic parts of a vacuum, as well as how to use the vacuum safely. it is very important that the operators read and understand the operator's manual before operating the vacuum. let's get started."

Videos show what Walter describes

## Scene 1: Parts Of The Vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "Before we go any further, let's take a look at this vacuum and it's main components. here we see the power button, telescoping extension wand, variable suction power control, automatic cord rewind, swivel hose, flexible hose, telescoping extension wand."

Parts show what Walter describes

## Scene 2: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Walter: (offscreen) "Like any other tool, vacuums can be dangerous if you don't follow the instructions for safe operation, or don't use them properly. part of that is protecting your body with the correct personal protective equipment."

Rohan Johnson uses his 22Q3 properly and protects his body with the correct personal protective equipment

Walter: (offscreen) "When using a vacuum, you should wear approved gloves, hearing protection, eye protection, and non-slip boots."

Rohan Johnson wears approved gloves, hearing protection, eye protection, and non-slip boots

Walter: (offscreen) "If there is a risk of dust inhalation, wear a dust mask as well. you should also wear long pants to protect against debris that might get stirred up by the vacuum. be sure that your clothes aren't too baggy. don't wear loose clothing, scarves, or jewelry that might get pulled in the vacuum's parts, potentially causing serious injuries. always be careful."

## Scene 3: Plugging In

Walter: (offscreen) "The 22Q3 Vacuum is equipped with an automatic cord rewind that must always be run with the cord plugged in."

Videos show what Walter describes

Walter: (offscreen) "Never plug in the vacuum when it is running. always shut it off first, and let it cool before plugging your machine back into a grounded outlet."

Rohan Johnson doesn't plug in the vacuum when it is running

Walter: (offscreen) "Also, don't plug in the machine outdoors. fumes from the dirt can be toxic. so make sure plug in the vacuum in a well ventilated area. trash and dirt are highly dirty. so keep hot objects and potential ignition sources, including cigarettes away from the vacuum the bag. this includes the vacuum itself if it's been working."

Rohan Johnson doesn't plug in the machine outdoors, and plugs in the vacuum in a well ventilated area, and keeps hot objects and potential ignition sources

Walter: (offscreen) "If you need to replug it in doing a job, shut the vacuum off and let it cool down before adding plugging your machine back in."

Rohan Johnson shuts the vacuum off and lets it cool down before plugging his machine back in

Walter: (offscreen) "When pulling the cord out of the automatic cord rewind, go slowly to gently release any excess pressure that may have built up in the vacuum bag."

Rohan Johnson goes slowly to gently release any excess pressure that may have built up in the vacuum bag

Walter: (offscreen) "Make sure the plug is secured after plugging it in. again, keep the plug away from hot items and open flames."

Rohan Johnson makes sure the plug is secured after plugging it in

Walter: (offscreen) "If you spill dirt on the ground or the vacuum, wipe it up immediately with an approved napkin. after you're done, throw the napkin away before starting. if you spill dirt on your clothes, change them, and make sure you clean any trash, or dirt off of your skin before operating the vacuum."

Videos show what Walter describes

Walter: (offscreen) "When you're ready to plug in the vacuum, first clean the area around the plug. again, you don't want to knock dirt or debris into the vacuum bag."

Rohan Johnson makes sure dirt or debris is not knocked into the vacuum bag

Walter: (offscreen) "It's important to leave some space in the tank when you plug in. the vacuum will heat up as you use it, which will cause the dirt to expand. leave room when you plug in to accommodate the expanding liquid."

Rohan Johnson does what Walter describes

Walter: (offscreen) "Finally, don't start the vacuum when you plugged it in. move at least 10 feet away before starting the vacuum."

Rohan Johnson doesn't start the vacuum where he plugged it in

## Scene 4: Stopping And Starting The Vacuum

### Starting The Vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "You should never start a vacuum indoors or in any area that isn't well ventilated. motor exhaust can contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and potentially lethal trash. it's also possible to have filters in the filter covers, so don't start the vacuum near anything flammable."

Rohan Johnson doesn't start a vacuum indoors or in any area that isn't well ventilated

Walter: (offscreen) "Before you start the vacuum, take a look around to be sure there are no people or animals nearby."

Rohan and Caleb take a look around to be sure there are no people or animals nearby

Walter: (offscreen) "To start the vacuum, hold the body of the machine using your right hand, not your foot."

Rohan Johnson holds the body of the machine using his right hand, not his foot

Walter: (offscreen) "Press the power button on your switch with your other hand to turn it on. if the vacuum doesn't start after 4 or 5 tries, wait a few minutes and try again. you should never twist the cord around your hand. also, never turn on the vacuum on when it is unplugged, or unplug the vacuum when it is turned on. doing so can damage the vacuum. bear in mind that the brushroll will start to spin as soon as the motor is started, even when idling. if the vacuum doesn't start after several attempts, plug in the vacuum, and repeat pressing the power switch."

Videos show what Walter describes

Walter: (offscreen) "After the vacuum starts, you can set the required suction."

Rohan Johnson sets the required section

### Stopping The Vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "To stop the vacuum, press the power button."

Rohan Johnson presses the power button to stop the vacuum

## Scene 5: Using The Vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "With the vacuum plugged in, you can go to work."

Rohan Johnson goes to work with the vacuum plugged in

Walter: (offscreen) "Before you begin, do a quick scan of the worksite to make sure you won't encounter any coins, broken glass, nails, flatten cans, or other potentially dangerous debris. you won't always see those things lurking beneath dirt, so be sure to keep an eye out for them. the 22Q3 uses a very strong suction power. it can pick up debris very powerfully from floors. debris can also be thrown from the vacuum and bounce off a wall, or sign and hit you. always be careful to reduce the potential to cause injury and damage."

Rohan Johnson does a quick scan of the worksite to make sure he won't encounter any coins, broken glass, nails, flatten cans, or other potentially dangerous debris, and is careful to reduce the potential to cause injury and damage

Walter: (offscreen) "You can set the required suction speed using the variable suction power control. this allows you to adjust the suction you want, and keep it there without having to keep your finger on the control."

Rohan Johnson sets the required suction speed using the variable suction power control

Walter: (offscreen) "As you begin working, use the lowest effective suction setting. lower suction means more control, when you're picking up dirt. it also means less noise which is something you should always be aware of, especially if you're working around restaurants or coffee shops, or in the morning. using a low suction will also pick up less debris. if dirt is stuck on the ground, use your foot to loosen it"

Rohan Johnson uses the lowest effective suction setting

Walter: (offscreen) "As you work, makes sure you stay in a balanced position, and do not reach. also, watch your footing as you work. just like coins or glass, stairs or elevators may be hidden by dirt. so always proceed with caution. never operate the vacuum on an elevator, skywalk, or in high places.

Rohan Johnson is in a balanced position, and not reaching, watches his footing as he goes, he doesn't operate the vacuum on an elevator, skywalk, or in high places

Walter: (offscreen) "Hold the opening of the vacuum as closest to the floor as possible. adjust the suction as necessary to pick up the dirt. take the work in appropriate stages instead of trying to pick up a huge amount of dirt all at once. this is a much more effective and efficient method of working."

Rohan Johnson holds the opening of the vacuum as closest to the floor as possible, adjusts the suction as necessary to pick up the dirt, takes the work in appropriate stages instead of trying to pick up a huge amount of dirt all at once

Walter: (offscreen) "Now that the you're done working, remember to survey the site to make sure you've got everything. also, make sure you haven't made a mess on a crevice, or adjacent property."

Rohan Johnson surveys the site to make sure he got everything, he also makes sure he hasn't made mess on a crevices, or adjacent property

Walter: (offscreen) "Always clean up after you're finished, and pay special attention to chairs, and cleaning features."

## Scene 6: Maintenance

Walter: (offscreen) "As an operator, you likely won't be responsible for fixing broken equipment, but there are still some routine maintenance procedures that you should be aware of when you work with the vacuum."

Rohan Johnson is aware of routine maintenance procedures when he works with the vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "As we said earlier, it's vital to use the right cord for the automatic cord rewind."

Rohan Johnson uses the automatic cord rewind

Walter: (offscreen) "Before you use the vacuum, make sure that the pre-motor filter is in good condition. never use the vacuum cleaner without an air filter, or with a damage or deformed filter element. unfiltered dusty air can quickly damage the motor."

Rohan Johnson makes sure that the pre-motor filter is in good condition and doesn't use the vacuum cleaner without an air filter

Walter: (offscreen) "To clean the pre-motor filter, open the dust bug compartment by lifting up on the door latch. do not tap the filter against a hard surface to knock debris loose. this can damage the filter. instead, remove debris by hand, or with compressed air. if the filter won't come clean or is excessively dirty, replace it."

Rohan Johnson opens the dust bug compartment by lifting up on the door latch, and does not tap the filter against a hard surface to knock debris loose

Walter: (offscreen) "You should also check the post-motor filter is in place, undamaged, and not blocked by dirt. a clocked post-motor filter reduces the motor's vacuum capacity and increases the motor's working temperature, which can result in motor failure. if the filter is blocked, stop the motor and remove the object. also, check the flex hose regularly to make sure it's not damaged, and is working properly."

Rohan Johnson checks the post-motor filter is in place, undamaged, and not blocked by dirt. he also checks the flex hose regularly to make sure it's not damaged, and is working properly

## Scene 7: Safety

Walter: (offscreen) "The 22Q3 Vacuum is a powerful tool that must be used safely. if it is not used safely, it has the potential to cause serious injuries to you, and those around you, as well as substantial property damage."

Rohan Johnson uses a 22Q3 vacuum safely

Walter: (offscreen) "Always be cautious and be careful when you use a vacuum. we talk about safety in terms of Personal Hazards, Bystander Hazards, and Property Hazards."

Rohan Johnson is cautious and careful when you use a vacuum. text shows: Personal Hazards, Bystander, Hazards, Property Hazards

## Scene 8: Personal Hazards

Walter: (offscreen) "Personal Hazards. we define Personal Hazards as any hazard that can cause injury to you personally. with the 22Q3, the primary personal hazards come from flying debris, hot vacuum components, and trips and falls."

Text shows Personal Hazards as Rohan Johnson uses the vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "Again, it's important to wear the proper personal protective equipment. make sure you protect your eyes, ears, and limbs as you work."

Rohan Johnson protects his eyes, ears, and limbs as he works

Walter: (offscreen) "Also, use safe cord handling practices."

Rohan Johnson uses safe cord handling practices

Walter: (offscreen) "Do a site check before you start working. watch for objects like coins or glass that can be picked up while operating the vacuum, or they can bounce off a wall, or blinds, and hit you."

Rohan Johnson does a site check before he starts working

Walter: (offscreen) "Also, pay attention to the floor you are cleaning. watch for trip hazards, stairs, or crevices, and keep your footing secure. don't work too fast, and don't stretch with the vacuum, or you can lose your balance."

Rohan Johnson does what Walter describes

Walter: (offscreen) "Be extra cautious when vacuuming near drop-offs, stairways, or hard to reach areas, or when doing above floor cleaning."

Pictures show what Walter describes

Walter: (offscreen) "Be aware of walls and doors as well."

Rohan Johnson is aware of walls

Walter: (offscreen) "Never use the vacuum in bad conditions, such as oil, wet floors, or outdoors. your vision enbalanced can be effected and the floor can be very slippery if it's wet. use your judgement, or ask a supervisor if you have concerns about weather conditions while you're working."

Rohan Johnson uses the vacuum in good conditions, then, Caleb tells Rohan that he should only vacuum when the floors are dry and in good conditions

Walter: (offscreen) "Remember, the motor and some parts of the vacuum will run hot. they can burn you if you are not careful. wear gloves and be very careful not to touch hot components."

Rohan Johnson is careful not to touch hot components

Walter: (offscreen) "Don't use a vacuum on an elevator, skywalk, or fence."

Rohan Johnson doesn't use a vacuum on an elevator, skywalk, or fence

Walter: (offscreen) "The 22Q3 is equipped with the vibration damping system that reduces vibration and make operation easier. over exposure to vibration can potentially lead to circulatory, or nerve damage, and people who have impaired circulation. check the vibration damping system for cracks or deformations, and pay attention if you feel like the vacuum is vibrating more than usual. also, pay attention if you begin to experience numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, or changes its skin color or condition. these symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. the risk increases at low temperatures, so be extra aware in colder weather. contact your doctor if you experience any symptoms."

Rohan Johnson does what Walter describes

## Scene 9: Bystander Hazards

Walter: (offscreen) "Bystander Hazards. Bystander Hazards are those that may injure the people around you, including co-workers, clients, and people walking by."

Rohan Johnson stops vacuuming and gets 2 people out of his work area

Walter: (offscreen) "Flying debris is as much a risk to bystander as it is to you. watch for people in, or near your work area. watch for animals too. do not point the brushroll at another person, or animal. this extremely dangerous and can cause serious injuries."

Rohan Johnson watches for people in, or near his work area and watches for animals too

Walter: (offscreen) "If people walk by as you're using the vacuum, throttle down to the lowest setting, or move to a different area until they are a safe distance away. children may be interested in the machine and approach you."

Rohan Johnson throttles down to the lowest setting, waves a person through until a person is a safe distance away

Walter: (offscreen) "Keep children away from the vacuum and the work area. even if the machine is turned off, it may still be hot and might burn children who want to play with it."

Rohan Johnson keeps children away from the vacuum and the work area

Walter: (offscreen) "The 22Q3 can be noisy, which is another reason why you should use it at the lowest suction possible. respect people in the area by using a vacuum during normal business hours and as quietly as you can."

Rohan Johnson respects people in the area by using a vacuum during normal business hours and as quietly as he can

## Scene 10: Property Hazards

Walter: (offscreen) "Property Hazards. Property hazards cause damage to property. this might be walls, windows, tables, curtains, or the vacuum itself."

Text shows Property Hazards as Rohan Johnson uses his vacuum

Walter: (offscreen) "Property damage can be a major issue for your company. if you damage a client's property, it can cost your company a contract, and possibly a very expensive repair."

Rohan Johnson doesn't damage a client's property

Walter: (offscreen) "Be careful. flying debris is a concern property too. if the vacuum is not operated properly, debris can break windows, or other property."

Rohan Johnson is careful when vacuuming

Walter: (offscreen) "Be cautious about using a vacuum in areas where property can be damaged. when in doubt, use a different tool."

Rohan Johnson is cautious about using a vacuum in areas where property can be damaged

Walter: (offscreen) "Using or maintaining the vacuum incorrectly can also damage the vacuum. treat the vacuum gently. use the right cord and plug and stay on type of routine maintenance to be sure you get the best results and long life out of the machine."
