- Material: Paper
- Type: Disposable
- Compatible Devices: Vigor Vacuum Cleaners (specific models may vary, refer to your vacuum cleaner manual)

3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install the Vigor VBA-28 Paper Bag into your compatible Vigor vacuum cleaner.
- Power Off: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power outlet before beginning installation.
- Open Vacuum Compartment: Locate and open the dust bag compartment on your Vigor vacuum cleaner. This usually involves releasing latches or clips.
- Remove Old Bag (if applicable): If a used bag is present, carefully remove it. Seal the opening of the old bag to prevent dust leakage during disposal.
- Insert New Bag: Take a new Vigor VBA-28 Paper Bag. Align the cardboard collar of the bag with the bag holder inside the vacuum cleaner compartment. Push firmly until the bag is securely seated and the opening is properly sealed around the inlet tube.
- Close Compartment: Close the dust bag compartment, ensuring it latches securely.
Important: Do not force the bag into place. If it does not fit easily, re-check the alignment. Improper installation can lead to reduced suction or dust leakage.
4. Operation
Once the paper bag is correctly installed, your vacuum cleaner is ready for operation. The paper bag functions as the primary filtration and collection unit for dust and debris.
- Regular Use: Operate your vacuum cleaner as per its main instruction manual. The VBA-28 bag will collect dirt and dust during cleaning.
- Monitoring Fullness: Some vacuum cleaners have an indicator light or gauge to show when the dust bag is full. If your vacuum has this feature, monitor it regularly.
- Suction Reduction: A noticeable decrease in suction power often indicates a full dust bag.
5. Maintenance and Disposal
Proper maintenance involves timely replacement of the paper bag to ensure optimal performance of your vacuum cleaner.
- When to Replace: Replace the paper bag when it is approximately two-thirds full, or when suction power significantly decreases. Do not wait until the bag is completely packed, as this can strain the vacuum motor and reduce efficiency.
- Disposal:
- Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
- Open the dust bag compartment.
- Carefully remove the full paper bag, ensuring the opening is sealed (if the bag has a self-sealing mechanism) or manually folded to prevent dust escape.
- Dispose of the used bag in a waste bin according to local waste disposal regulations.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the vacuum cleaner's internal filters (if applicable) and clean or replace them as recommended by your vacuum cleaner's manufacturer.
Note: The VBA-28 is a disposable paper bag and is not designed for reuse or washing.
