OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Connect the KAV to a suitable compressed air supply. Attach the anti -static hose assembly
to the canister and connect the stainless steel bent hose end and wands. Choose and
attach one of the anti-static tools supplied. To activate the KAV, turn the lever on the
control valve through 90°. The performance of the vacuum cleaner can be controlled with
the control valve, but it is advisable to fit a regulator and pressure gauge at the air outlet
point of your compressed air supply. The maximum pressure must be no more than
120psi (8.3 Bar).
CARRYING & STORAGE
The assembled cleaner can be moved around by pulling the vacuum hose, using the
flip/flop handle on the motor head or by means of the tubular handle (models on caddy
only). It must NOT be dragged around by means of the air supply hose.
When not in use this vacuum cleaner should be disconnected from the compressed air
supply. This vacuum cleaner should be stored indoors in a dry environment.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

Hose & Accessory Basket – zinc plated tool basket to prevent a build-up of static. It can be
fitted by hanging from the two horizontal crossbars on the rear of the caddy. Suitable for
models KAV 18, 30 & 45H only.

FILTRATION SYSTEM

This compressed air powered Type H vacuum cleaner is fitted with 3 stages of filtration
on the negative pressure side of the air motor. That is before the air motor so that the air
motor always receives clean filtered air.
1st Stage: K1 Disposable Microfibre Bag – KAV 15H Part No. K18.01.01
K4 Disposable Microfibre Bag – KAV 18, 20, 30 & 45H Part No. K18.01.02
K1 and K4 Microfibre disposable bags are made from Microfibre material. Microfibre
bags offer better filtration efficiency and greater tear resistance from sharp debris than
paper bags and are less likely to burst when full of heavy dust/debris. Microfibre
disposable bags are fitted with a moulded plastic flange and sealing cap. They are fitted
over the inlet inside the canister and the dust/debris is collected inside the bag. The
sealing cap is designed to prevent the escape of dust from the bag during the bag
change and disposal process. When the bag is full or suction efficiency is impaired, it
should be replaced. Microfibre bags are not designed to be emptied and should not be
reused.
2nd Stage: Anti-static Cloth Filter Assembly – KAV 15 & 18H Part No. K25.02.01
– KAV 20, 30 & 45H Part No. K25.03.01
A conductive needlefelt cloth filtration media attached to a conductive rubber sealing ring
and supported by a conductive plastic rigid filter frame.
