Motor cooling fan inspection and cleaning

Periodically clean the motor cooling fan to prevent the motor
from overheating, especially if the vacuum cleaner is used in
a dusty place.

Tightness inspection

Hoses check
Make sure that connecting hoses (1, 2, 3, Fig. 17) are in a
good condition and correctly fixed.
If the hoses are damaged, broken or badly connected to the
unions, they must be replaced.
When sticky materials are treated, check for possible clogging
along the hose (4, Fig. 17), in the inlet and on the baffle plate
inside the filtering chamber.
Scrape the inlet from the outside and remove the deposited
waste as indicated in figure 17.
Filtering chamber tightness check
If the gasket (1, Fig. 18) between the container and the
filtering chamber (3) fails to guarantee tightness:
■ Loosen the four screws (2) that lock the filtering chamber
(3) against the vacuum cleaner structure.
■ Allow the filtering chamber (3) to lower down and tighten
the screws once it has reached the tightness position (2).
The gasket must be replaced if it is torn, cut, etc...
Replace the gasket (1, Fig. 18) if the degree of tightness is
still not optimum.

Separator cleaning and replacement

If there is only a dust deposit on the separator (4, Fig. 19)
allow the dust to drop through the central hole.
The separator (4, Fig. 19) should first be disassembled in
order to be perfectly cleaned:
■ Use the lever (1) to remove the lid (2) together with the
primary filter.
■ Unscrew the two screws (3) and remove it from the
container.
Replace the part if it is excessively worn.
Assemble the components in the reverse order of
disassembly.
