gloves (DPI) suited to the hazardous nature of the dust
collected, refer to the laws in force.
Before proceeding with these operations, turn off the vacuum
cleaner and remove the plug from the power socket.
WARNING!
Before working on the filter unit in any way, shut off
the compressed air supply to the tank (1) and vent off
all the air from this latter through cock (13). Stand well
back to prevent air from blasting into the face.
Disconnect the machine from the electricity and compressed
air sources and proceed in the following way when changing
the four cartridges (9):
■ Unscrew the clamp (11) and remove the ring (12) that
locks the cover to the filter chamber.
■ Remove the cover.
■ Unscrew the nuts that lock coils (2) to the solenoid
valves, leaving them inside the chamber (there will be no
need to disconnect them from the electric cable in this
way).
■ Remove the compressed air supply pipe (3) from the
tank (1).
■ Remove the three wires (4) (neutral - n.open - n.closed)
from the pressure switch. Remember their positions as
the vacuum cleaner will not work if they are inverted
(consult the wiring diagram).
■ Detach condensate discharge pipe (5) from under the
tank.
■ Unscrew nuts (6) that fix the tank to the filter chamber
and then remove the tank.
■ Remove the Venturi units (7) allowing them to turn from
right to left.
■ Unscrew screws (8) and lift the cartridges (9), taking care
not to dislodge the dust that will have deposited on them.
■ Fit the new cartridges (9), and correctly position the
seal (10) in the relative housing on the lower side of the
cartridge (9) fixing flange.
