Inspections prior to starting

Figure 6
1. Vacuum inlet
Before starting, check that:
■ The filters are installed.
■ The closing band is properly tightened.
■ The vacuum hose and tools have been correctly fitted into
the vacuum inlet (1).
■ In case of liquid application, the liquid mechanical stop is
properly installed inside the liquid container:
■ The bag or safety container is installed, if applicable.
CAUTION!

Starting and stopping

Figure 5
CAUTION!
Before starting the machine, lock the castor brakes
■ Turn switch (1) to position "I" to start the vacuum cleaner.
When the switch is turned to "I", the motors start in
sequence and their status is shown by indicators (2 - 3

■ Turn the switch to position "0" to stop the vacuum cleaner.

Emergency stopping

Press Stop button (5). The vacuum cleaner stops.
The motors and internal components of the vacuum
cleaner will still be electrically powered.
To start the vacuum cleaner again, press the buttons of each
single motor or turn the main switch (1) to "0" and then to "I"
again.

Operation

The air speed in the vacuum hose must not be less than
20 m/s.
This state is shown by the green indicator of the
primary filter.
All machines can be used only with hoses whose
diameters comply with the specifications in the
"Technical Data" table.
Consult the "Troubleshooting" chapter if faults occur.
When using the vacuum cleaner, check:
■ The status of the max. vacuumed material level indicator
(7), if the level check is installed.
■ The status of the primary filter (9) and the absolute filter
(if installed) (10).
■ The status of the low compressor pressure indicator (6)
(if installed).
If one of the indicators is lit, follow the instructions.
