Product description
The VA03ABK is a pneumatic (compressed-air-driven) HEPA backpack vacuum built to run alongside Novatek's own power-tool line, pulling 170 CFM at up to 160 inches of static lift on 50 CFM at 90 PSI of shop air. Four stages of filtration protect an individually tested and certified HEPA filter, recovery goes into a 5 gallon steel tank fitted with a 3 gallon disposable bag, and the unit converts from backpack to floor vacuum in seconds. A standard air filter/dryer and a live air inlet with shutoff for powering hand tools are both built in.

Questions, answered
What training is required to run this machine?
Follow the manufacturer operator manual and your workplace's required training and safety procedures before use.
How does freight delivery actually work?
You get tracking and carrier details by email when it leaves the warehouse. A machine that travels on a pallet is delivered by appointment: the carrier phones to book a window. Freight is free on orders $500+ to the lower 48. Full guide: how freight delivery works.
What happens if it arrives damaged?
Write the damage on the delivery receipt and photograph it before the driver leaves, then call us the same day. We file the claim with the carrier, not you.
What warranty does it carry?
The warranty the manufacturer publishes for this model: 180 days from date of purchase (Novatek Corporation Limited Warranty; does not apply to accessories). For a claim, contact us first. We open it with the manufacturer, coordinate parts or service, and stay on it until it is resolved.
Can I return it?
Call us within 30 days of delivery if the machine is not right for your facility and we arrange the return with the manufacturer. It must be unused or in like-new condition with its original packaging. Return freight is paid by the customer, and some manufacturers apply a restocking fee, which we pass through at cost. Full terms.
Will you match a lower price?
Yes, on machines. Send us the listing before you order and we match the same model advertised for less by another US seller. Price match terms.
Can my organization pay by purchase order?
Yes. Purchase orders are accepted, and net terms are reviewed case by case for approved commercial accounts. Use the commercial quote form to tell us your billing process.
Which pads and cleaning products should I use?
Use only verified product references and the manufacturer's compatibility requirements. Contact the equipment desk with your floor type and application before substituting a product.
