Inspection prior to starting

Prior to starting, check that:
–
The filters are installed;
– All latches are tightly locked;
– The vacuum hose and tools have been correctly fitted onto
the inlet "F" (Fig. 5);
– The bag or safety container is installed, if applicable.
– Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the filter is faulty.

Starting up

– Lock the castor brakes before starting the vacuum cleaner
"E" (Fig. 6);
– To wire up the mouth start/stop remote switch (if
equipped), remove the connector "V" (Fig. 6) on the
panel and use the connector "Z" (Fig. 6) supplied with the
vacuum cleaner.
– Turn the switch "B" (Fig. 6) to "I" position.
I
– Press the button "1" to start the vacuum cleaner.
– Activate the mouths (if equipped).
GB
– Press the button "H" to stop the vacuum cleaner.
– Turn the main switch "B" to "0" position to turn the vacuum
cleaner off.
F
– If the vacuum cleaner does not work and the indicator
"C" (Fig. 4) lights up, turn the inverter "F" in the opposite
direction.

Vacuum cleaner operation

1. RED ZONE
2. GREEN ZONE
Check the flow rate:
– When the vacuum cleaner is operating, the pointer of the
vacuum gauge "A" (Fig. 7) must remain in the green zone
(OK) to ensure that the speed of the intake air does not
drop below the safety value of 20 m/s;
– If the pointer is in the red zone (STOP), it means that the
speed of the air in the vacuum hose is less than 20 m/s
and that the vacuum cleaner is not operating in safety
conditions. The horn (of M and H versions) emits a pulsing
sound. The filters must be cleaned or replaced.
– After cleaning or replacing the filters, the vacuum gauge
pointer must return to the green zone and the sound must
stop.
– When the vacuum hose is closed, the pointer of the
vacuum gauge must switch from the green zone (OK) to
the red zone (STOP) and the horn must emit a pulsing
sound.
DANGER !
Use only hoses with diameters that comply with the
indications in the Technical data table in order to prevent
the air speed from dropping below 20 m/sec.
DANGER !
When the vacuum cleaner is operating, always check that
the vacuum gauge pointer remains in the green zone (OK).
Consult the "Troubleshooting" chapter if faults occur.

Shaking the primary filter

Depending on the quantity of dust cleaned up, shake the main
filter by means of the knob "J" (Fig. 8) when the vacuum gauge
"A" (Fig. 7) pointer switches from the green zone (OK) to the red
zone (STOP).
DANGER !
Stop the vacuum cleaner before shaking the filter.
Do not shake the filter while the vacuum cleaner is on, as
this could damage the filter itself.
Wait before restarting the vacuum cleaner, to allow the dust to
settle.
Replace the filter element if the pointer still remains in the red
zone (STOP) even after the filter has been shaken (see par.
"Primary filter replacement".)
