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);

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.
