COMMISSIONING YOUR KAV VACUUM CLEANER

Attach the anti-static air supply hose to the air inlet port on the control valve. Do not
over-tighten the connection. Do not use any form of liquid thread locker or PTFE tape to
seal the thread. The threaded end fitting has its own integral O ring seal. If you use liquid
thread sealer or PTFE tape, you may create an insulated barrier so that any static build
up cannot dissipate to earth down the air supply hose.
Fit a metal (conductive) fitting to suit your air outlet sockets to the other end of the air
supply hose. Make sure the pipework and outlet fittings of your air supply system is
constructed entirely of metal pipes and fittings and is suitably earthed. Finally, using a
500 volt megohmmeter, measure the resistance between the body of the vacuum cleaner
and the metal air supply pipe. The reading must be no more than 50 Megohm (5 x 10
Ohm).

PERFORMANCE/COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

The KAV range does not require the air supply to be dried or filtered. It is advisable to use an
air supply that can be regulated so that the performance of the unit can be adjusted to suit
the operator. The performance is related to the air input. The more pressure/volume of
air input, the more suction/induced airflow is generated. However, using excessive air
input wastes compressed air, generates unnecessary noise, and may cause implosion of
the canister and/or bursting of the Microfibre bags/filters.
