main.
The suction unit needs no particular maintenance or lubrica-
tion.
Remember, however, that correct use and servicing arees-
sential if the safety and efficiency of the vacuum are to be
guaranteed.
To ensure regular and constant operation and to prevent the
warranty from becoming void, only ever use genuine A/S
spare parts when repairs are needed.
11.2 - Checks and inspections on start-up
The customer should proceed with the following inspections
to ensure that the vacuum has not been damaged during
transportation.
11.2.1 - Before starting:
Check that the mains voltage value corresponds to that for which
the machine is preset (see data plate in paragraph 3.1 fig. 1);
11.2.2 - With the vacuum operating
check that all the air seals are perfectly tight; check that all
fixed protections are efficient; proceed with suction tests
using the same materials as those used during work.
This will ascertain whether all parts of the vacuum operate
correctly.
