Controls and indicators

See fig. 4.
A - Suction motor start/stop switch.
B - Vacuum gauge to detect the primary filter
clogging.

Inspection prior to starting

Prior to starting, check that:
- The filters are installed;
- All latches are tightly locked;
- The vacuum hose "A" and the accessories have
been correctly fitted into the inlet "B" (fig. 5);
- The bag is installed, if applicable.
- Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the filter is faulty.

Starting up

- Push the button "A" (fig. 4).

Vacuum cleaner operation

Check the flow rate:
- When the vacuum cleaner is operating, the pointer
of the vacuum gauge "B" (fig. 4) 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/sec;
- 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 filters must
be cleaned or replaced.
- When the vacuum hose is closed, the pointer of
the vacuum gauge must switch from the green
zone (OK) to the red zone (STOP).

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 msec.
DANGER !
When the vacuum cleaner is operating, always
check that the pointer of the vacuum gauge "B"
(fig. 4) remains in the green zone.

Shaking the primary filter

Depending on the vacuumed dust quantity and if the
pointer of the vacuum gauge "B" (fig. 4) is in the red
zone (STOP), shake the primary filter by means of the
lever "A" (fig. 7).
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 of the vacuum
gauge still remains in the red zone (STOP) even after
the filter has been shaken (consult the "Primary filter
replacement" paragraph).
