The ProTeam 100597 Sound Muffler is a replacement part specifically engineered to enhance the performance of compatible ProTeam vacuum cleaners. Its primary function is to reduce operational noise and filter exhaust, contributing to a quieter and cleaner working environment.
Key Features:

Setup and Installation
The ProTeam 100597 Sound Muffler is designed for easy installation as a replacement part. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged and turned off before proceeding with any installation or maintenance.
- Preparation: Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from its power source. Ensure the unit has cooled down if it was recently in use.
- Locate Muffler Compartment: Refer to your specific ProTeam Super CoachVac or MegaVac model's user manual to identify the sound muffler compartment. This is typically located near the exhaust port.
- Remove Old Muffler (if applicable): Carefully remove the existing sound muffler. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new part.
- Install New Muffler: Insert the ProTeam 100597 Sound Muffler into the designated compartment. Ensure it is seated firmly and correctly. The muffler should fit snugly to prevent air leaks and maximize its effectiveness.
- Secure Compartment: Close and secure the muffler compartment according to your vacuum cleaner's design.
- Test: Reconnect the vacuum cleaner to power and perform a brief test to ensure proper function and reduced sound levels.
Note: Always consult your specific vacuum cleaner's manual for detailed instructions on accessing and replacing internal components.
Operating Considerations
The sound muffler operates passively as part of the vacuum's exhaust system. No specific user operation is required for the muffler itself once installed. Its function is integral to the vacuum's overall performance in terms of noise reduction and exhaust filtration.
- Ensure the muffler is clean and free from obstructions to maintain optimal airflow and sound reduction.
- Regularly check the muffler for signs of wear or damage, especially if you notice an increase in operational noise.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the ProTeam 100597 Sound Muffler ensures its longevity and continued effectiveness in reducing noise and filtering exhaust.
Cleaning:
- The sound muffler is typically made of foam material. It can be gently cleaned by shaking off loose debris.
- If heavily soiled, it may be rinsed with mild soap and water. Ensure the muffler is completely dry before reinstallation to prevent damage to the vacuum cleaner.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the foam material.
Replacement:
The sound muffler is a consumable part and will require replacement over time. Replace the muffler if you observe any of the following:
- Noticeable increase in vacuum operational noise.
- Visible damage, tearing, or significant degradation of the foam material.
- Reduced airflow or suction, which could indicate a clogged muffler.
Replacement parts, including the ProTeam 100597 Sound Muffler, can be purchased from authorized ProTeam dealers or online retailers. Always use genuine ProTeam replacement parts to ensure compatibility and performance.
