• Before starting, put out a panel reading
"EXHAUSTER BEING SERVICED" in a visible
position.
• Do not use solvents and flammable materials;
• Do not release lubricants into the environment;
• Machine parts are not designed to bear a person's weight; do not stand on them or they could break.
• When job is completed, restore and correctly fasten all protections and guards previously removed or
opened, as well as any safety device, if previously disabled.

6.3 PARTS SUBJECT TO MAINTENANCE
Maintenance shall be carried out with the Exhauster set out of service for replacement of damaged or worn
parts. The Exhauster does not require frequent maintenance. If compressed air does not meet indicated
requirements, the following could get damaged:
1. Pressure regulator
2. Solenoid valve
3. Filter cartridge
4. Dedusting device
Should cartridge fail and break, this could damage the turbine unit (5) and the silencer (6).
1) Remove the regulator:
• Close air feed;
• Release any residual air by opening the con-
densate drain cock;
• Disconnect the lines, loosen and remove the
regulator;
• Clean/change and refit the regulator;
• Restore 5 bar pressure.
2) Replace solenoid valve if it jams. Change as fol-
lows:
• Close air feed;
• Release any residual air by opening the con-
densate drain cock;
• Remove the connector by undoing the retain-
ing screw;
• Remove the connecting tube and loosen the
solenoid valve;
• Clean and/or change the solenoid valve;
• Connect the connector and reconnect the
tubes.

3) Filter cartridge
• Cut off power supply and compressed air
(see relevant procedures in the previous
pages);
• Disconnect Ø100 inlet hose from inlet manifold;
• Remove the dust collector cylinder;
• Remove the filter holder cylinder;
• Loosen nut under cartridge;
• Set the new cartridge in place, ensuring to set
it at the centre and that the seal correctly sets
against the plate;
• Tighten the nut, do not squeeze seal too much
(nut finger tight + two turns);
• Refit the filter holder cylinder;
• Refit the dust collector cylinder;
• Refit the vacuum connection line between
cylinders.
• Reconnect the Ø100 hose.
4) Dedusting device
• Cut off power and air supply (see relevant
procedures in the previous pages);
• Proceed as described in step 3 until removing
the filtering cartridge;
• Loosen the dedusting device and renew it;
• Reassemble as indicated in item 3.
5) Motor
• Cut off power and air supply (see relevant
procedures in the previous pages);
• Contact Authorised After-sales Service.
6) Silencer
• Cut off power and air supply (see relevant
procedures in the previous pages);
• Remove the silencer unit, ensuring no foreign
objects can fall inside the turbine outlet
tube;
• Blow compressed air at 6 bars inside the
silencer;
• Reassemble the silencer unit.

6.4 CLEANING
It is recommended to frequently clean the whole Machine (intervals depend on type and frequency of use).
Use a soft rag. Do not use water and/or solvents.
• Monthly clean inside the machine to ensure motor cooling efficiency.
• Changing the bag. It is impossible to set a standard interval for replacing the dust collector bag so it
is important to frequently check dust quantity during the first two weeks of use. Periodically empty the
bag according to the work you do. Release the three levers to unlock the dust collector cylinder.
Disconnect the vacuum tube and remove the cylinder by pulling the two side handles. Pull out the
nylon bag and close it. Fit a new bag, ensure it adheres to cylinder walls. Turn over bag exceeding
length on cylinder edge. Refit the dust collector cylinder and engage the three levers. Important!
Refit and ensure that the vacuum tube does not leak. Any leak (though small as it may be) will move
the nylon bag up toward the filter cartridge, thus blocking off the machine suction opening, and finally
break the bag. It is necessary to dispose of the collected dust according to the prevailing laws of the
country where machine is installed.
6.5 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The following operations shall be performed at the indicated time intervals. Failure to comply with this
schedule will relieve the Manufacturer of any liability or warranty obligation.
These operations, though simple as they may be, shall be carried out by suitably trained and expert
Personnel.
Scheduled routine maintenance includes inspections, tests and interventions aiming at preventing system
stoppage due to faults or potentially dangerous situations.
6.6 EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Extraordinary maintenance is an activity reserved to personnel appointed by the manufacturer or the
manufacturer itself. Please contact the centres specified under paragraph 1.2 in case of need. Considering
the machine routine maintenance, the intervention of a technician for extraordinary maintenance is
highly unlikely, unless for special cases or when expressly requested.
