VHC200 / VHC200EXP

Inspections prior to starting

1. Inlet
Prior to starting, check that:
■ the filters are installed;
■ all the levers are locked in place;
■ the vacuum hose and tools have been correctly fitted to the
inlet (1 - Fig. 5);
Do not use the device if the filter is faulty.
Under no circumstances may this vacuum cleaner be used
safely for the collection of hazardous or toxic materials unless
equippped with a HEPA filter. Be sure to install the HEPA filter
according to Nilfisk CFM's written instructions. Do not use
this cleaner for the removal of hazardous substances unless
you are licensed and/or certified to work by all the authorities
having jurisdiction.

Ground Continuity Test (VHC200EXP only)

Test for continuity before each use.
The compressed airline with the VHC200EXP is impregnated
with carbon for the purpose of transferring static charge to an
earth ground source. Check to ensure that there is electrical
conductivity between the vacuum's inlet and the hose fitting
attached to the compressed airline (between items #4 and
#7 in Figure 1). The resistence of this grounding continuity
path should not exceed 0.1 ohm. If unacceptable results
are obtained during the continuity test DO NOT OPERATE
THE VACUUM. Using a continuity tester, check for continuity
between each connection of the vacuum cleaner. Contact
Nilfisk CFM's technical department for troubleshooting advice
if continuity cannot be restored.
GB
Note: This VHC200EXP vacuum must be connected to
an earth ground source. If the vacuum cleaner should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. For added safety, an auxiliary grounding clamp has
been included with the machine.
