PANEL DUST FILTER CLEANING AND INTEGRITY CHECK
The dust filter must be regularly cleaned to maintain the
efficiency of the vacuum system. Follow the recommended filter
service intervals for the longest filter life.
WARNING!
–
Wear safety glasses when cleaning the filter.
–
Do not puncture the filter.
–
Clean the filter in a well-ventilated area.
–
Wear appropriate dust mask to avoid
breathing in dust.
1.
Drive the machine on a level ground, engage the parking
brake and turn the ignition key (51) to "0".
2.
Open the battery compartment hood (19) and check that it
is fastened with the support rod (47).
3.
Release the fasteners (A, Fig. 16) and open the vacuum
system cover (B).
4.
Lift the dust filter (C, Fig. 17) and remove it from the
machine.
5.
Clean the filter using one of the methods below:
Method "A"
Collect dust from the filter. Gently tap the filter against a flat
surface (with the dirty side down) to remove dust and dirt.
NOTE
Take care not to damage the metal lip which extends
past the gasket.
Method "B"
Collect dust from the filter. Blow compressed air (maximum
pressure 6 Bar) into the clean side of the filter (in the opposite
direction of the airflow).
Method "C" (only for optional polyester filter)
CAUTION!
For the paper filter: do not use water or
detergents to clean it, otherwise the filter could
be damaged.
Collect dust from the filter. Then soak the filter in warm water
for 15 minutes, then rinse it under a gentle stream of water
(maximum pressure 2.5 Bar). Let the filter dry completely before
installing it back into the machine.
For a better cleaning, it is allowed to wash the filter with water
and non-lathering detergents.
This provides better quality cleaning but reduces the life of the
filter, which will have to be replaced more frequently. The use of
inadequate detergents can damage the filter.
6.
Install the filter in the reverse order of removal and note the
following:
•
Clean the filter housing.
•
Install the filter with the wire gauze upwards (D, Fig.
17).
•
If the filter gasket is damaged or missing, it must be
replaced.
7.
Press the lever (E) to disengage and close the cover (B,
Fig. 16).
8.
Engage the fasteners (A).
