Antistatic connection

F
NL
The machine is equipped with an antistatic
system to discharge any static electricity that
may develop during dust pick-up.
The antistatic system is placed in front part of the
motor top and creates an earth ground connection to
the inlet fitting of the container.
For proper function the use of an electrical conduc-
tive or antistatic suction hose is recommended.
1. When inserting the optional disposal bag make
sure the antistatic connection is kept.

Cooling air filter

To protect the electronics and motor, the machine is
equipped with a cooling air diffusor. Clean the cool-
ing air diffusor regularly.
For areas with a high concentration of fine dust in
the surrounding air it is recommended to equip the
machine with an optional cooling air filter cartridge to
prevent dust from settling inside the air channels and
motor. Contact your local sales representative.
If cooling air filter is clogged by dust the over-
load protection switch in the motor can be
activated.
1. In such case switch off the machine, clean cool-
ing air filter and allow machine to cool for ap-
prox. 5 minutes.
3.7

Wet pick-up

The machine is equipped with a water level
limit system which shuts off the machine when
the maximum liquid level is reached.
1. When this occurs, switch off the machine.
2. Disconnect the machine from the socket and
empty the container.
3. Never pick up liquids without the water level limit
system and filter in place.
4. Do not pick up flammable liquids.
5. Before liquids are picked up, always remove the
filter bag/wastebag and check that the water
level limit works properly.
6. If foam appears, stop work immediately and
emty the tank.
7. Clean the water level limiting device regularly
and check for signs of damage.

CAUTION
CAUTION
Before emptying the container, unplug the machine.
Disconnect the hose from the inlet by pulling out the
hose. Release the latches by pulling them outwards
so that the motor top is released. Lift up the motor
top from container. Always empty and clean the con-
tainer and water level limit system after picking-up
liquids.
Empty by tilting the container backwards or side-
ways and pour the liquids into a floor drain or similar.
Put back the motor top to the container. Secure the
motor top with the latches.
Heavy maneuvers can, by mistake, trigger the water
level limiting device. Should this happen; turn off the
machine and wait for 3 seconds to reset the device.
Continue to operate the machine afterwards.

Dry pick-up

CAUTION
Picking up environmentally hazardous materi-
als.
Materials picked up can present a hazard to the en-
vironment.
1. Dispose of the dirt in accordance with legal
regulations.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket before
emptying after dry pick-up. Remove the suction hose
from the machine and close the inlet cap, to avoid
harmful dust spreading. Release the latches by pull-
ing them outwards so that the motor top is released.
Lift up the motor top from container.
Filter: Check the filters. To clean the filter you can
shake, brush or wash it. Wait until the filter is dry
before re-starting dust pick-up.
Dust bag: check bag to ensure the fill factor. Re-
place dust bag if necessary. Remove the old bag.
The new bag is fitted by passing the cardboard piece
with the rubber membrane through the vacuum inlet.
Make sure that the rubber membrane is passing past
the heightening at the vacuum inlet.
After emptying: close motor top to the container
and secure the motor top with the latches. Never
pick up dry material without filter fitted in the ma-
chine. The suction efficiency of the machine de-
pends on the size and quality of the filter and dust
bag. Therefore – use only Original filter and dust
bags.
