3 Grasp the bucket handle and pull the bucket out toward you. 4 Gently lower the cleaner (by its handle) until it is resting on the floor. 5 Take the hose out of the bucket. 6 Once again, lift the cleaner by its handle, so that it is again leaning forward.
Connecting the Power This cleaner requires a 3-phase power supply. Before connecting up the power, make sure that your power supply matches the power ratings given on the cleaner’s nameplate. Warnings • Be sure to use the rated voltage only. Do not place other loads on the same power outlet.
To operate a standard model using remote control, because the selector switch is not included, order the switch from your dealer or an Amano branch office. I Differences between standard model and model with selector switch...
I Note To operate the unit through remote control, perform the wiring and setup work described below. For Your Information • The wiring work for remote control must be performed by a licensed electrician. I Function The operation patterns described below can be selected by changing the settings of the levers 1 and 2 of the DIP switch (SW1), which is mounted on the control panel.
I Wiring and Setup Work Checking • For wiring, use a shielded cable with a minimum thickness of 0.3 mm and a minimum withstand voltage of AC 250 V. • The wiring for the remote-control switch must not be longer than 10 m. •...

I Usage Precautions Observe the following conditions during use. Failure to do so may cause the product to operate at reduced performance or lead to a failure or an accident. • This product is intended to be used as an industrial cleaner for collecting and recovering dust. Do not use it for purposes other than those intended.
I If the Blower Fails to Start The phase sequence of the three phases is improper if the “Power Lamp” blinks red at 1-second intervals while the blower motor remains stopped. In this case, you must use the following procedure to correct the problem. 1.
I Usage Precautions • Do not use the cleaner to vacuum up water. Vacuuming of water may result in breakage or electric shock. • Always use the handle to move the cleaner. Pulling the cleaner by the hose or by the power cord may damage the hose or cord, or may cause the cleaner to move in an unex- pected direction, resulting in accident.
I Never Run the Cleaner with the Hose Blocked Air brought in through the hose is used to cool the blower. Oper- ating the vacuum with the hose partially or completely blocked will cause the blower to heat up, reducing its service life and possibly leading to significant problems.
Please con- sult Amano for advice before setting up the system. G Amano offers secondary air intake tubes that can prevent complete blockage. Installation of the secondary tube will protect against complete air blockage in the event that the system is accidentally operated with all valves closed.
Maintenance This section describes daily maintenance and component replacements required to keep the cleaner in good operating condi- tions. Warnings • Never insert or remove the power cable while your hand is wet. Doing so may result in electric shock. •...

2. Shake out the filter. Rotate the manual shakeout handle approximately three turns to the left, and then three turns to the right. G Automatic Shakeout Models (when using molded filter) In most cases automatic shakeout provides adequate filter cleaning, so that no manual operation is required. But you can also apply additional shakeout as necessary by holding down the SHAKING switch.
Page 24
G Filter Shakeout when using Cloth Filter If you are using a cloth filter, you must temporarily remove the filter and shake it out manually. 1. Switch off the blower motor. Press the switch to shut down the blower motor. Then wait 1 minute for the motor to stop before proceeding.
I Emptying the Bucket Please complete filter shakeout before removing the bucket to discard the collected dust. Wait for a while after shaking out the filter so as to allow the dust some time to settle. 1. Switch off the blower motor. Press the switch to shut down the blower motor.
I Discarding and Replacing Dust Packs (optional) Use of a dust pack helps you to avoid dust spillage that may otherwise occur when emptying the bucket. The dust pack holds dust in so that it cannot escape during disposal. 1. Remove the bucket. (Follow steps 1 to 3 of the procedure on the preceding page, “Emptying the Bucket.”) 2.
I Replacing a Molded Filter A molded filter should be replaced at least once a year, provided that it remains in good condition. Replace it immediately if inspection reveals that it is torn or damaged, or if shake cleaning fails to clear the filter apertures. 1.
I Replacing a Cloth Filter (Models V-2∑ and V-3∑) A cloth filter should be replaced at least once a year, provided that it remains in good condition. Replace it immediately if inspection reveals that it torn or damaged, or if shake cleaning fails to clear the filter apertures. 1.
I Replacing a Cloth Filter (Models V-5∑ and V-7∑) A cloth filter should be replaced at least once a year, provided that it remains in good condition. Replace it immediately if inspection reveals that it torn or damaged, or if shake cleaning fails to clear the filter apertures. 1.
I Replacing the Floor Brush Wearing or deformation of the floor brush can cause the cleaner to lose suction force. If the brush becomes worn or bent, replace it as follows. 1. Switch off the blower motor. Press the switch to shut down the blower motor. Wait 1 minute for the blower motor to stop.
