RONDA®2600 The Vac for Factories and Warehouses 12 V. BRØNDUM A/S
Mode of operation
When the suction motors are turned on, the air is drawn through the
appliance collecting the dust particles near the front nozzle.
The dust particles are drawn through the front nozzle by means of the
high airflow and are transported through the suction hose to the
collection container.
In the collection container the air is led towards the bottom of the
container where the heavy particles will settle.
The very light particles are led by the airflow towards the multi-tube
filter mounted in the intermediate ring. The air is drawn through the
filter, which will hold back the dust particles.
The airflow is drawn through the HEPA-filter, which will hold back the very fine dust particles.
Finally the exhaust air is filtered by the noise reduction foam of the motor top, after which the purified air will
leave the machine through the crevice under the yellow motor top.
IMPORTANT: Do not cover the motor top, when the machine is operating.
Derivation of Static Electricity
When collecting dry materials and dust, static electricity may be
generated in for instance the suction hoses and tubes.
RONDA2600 is earthed through the earth connection of the cabling.
Therefore, it is very important that the appliance is connected to a
power supply with reliable connection to earth (Active protection against
indirect touch).

User Manual
RONDA®2600 The Vac for Factories and Warehouses 17 V. BRØNDUM A/S
NOTICE:
The vacuum indicator of the RONDA2600 is calibrated for correct indication,
when the appliance is used with its standard accessories (40 mm). Using hoses
or other accessories with a smaller dimension, the vacuum indicator will indicate
too high a value. If you want guarantee for sufficient air velocity in the tubes and
hoses, it is recommended to clean the filter, and if necessary to empty the
appliance, if the pointer of the vacuum indicator enters the red section.
Start-up and Collection of Dry Dust
When the appliance has been correctly assembled and connected, you can
start it by pressing the switches on the motor top. The two powerful suction
motors have separate switches.
You can move the vacuum cleaner during operation on the large wheels. The
revolving front wheels facilitate the manoeuvring of the machine.
The accessory set with hose, tubes and nozzles can be used for cleaning the inaccessible places that the front
nozzle cannot reach.
The hose is attached to the container coupling on the front of the appliance and assembled with the tubes and
the nozzle chosen.
The floor nozzle is suitable for the collection of dust and materials from large even surfaces. The nozzle is
equipped with brushes and wheels, which make sure that the nozzle is conveyed over the even surface in an
optimal way.
Eventually, the brushes will be worn, which will consequently reduce the efficiency of the nozzle.
Adjust the wheel height by using the knob of the nozzle to ensure that the brushes only just touch the floor.
Vacuum Indicator and Filter Cleaning during Operation
The vacuum indicator placed on the adaptor ring of the motor top measures the air pressure inside the appliance
during operation. The vacuum indicator is placed on the back of the appliance so that it is visible to the operator
during operation.
If the multi-tube filter is blocked by fine particles, the air pressure inside the appliance will drop. This can be read
on the vacuum indicator.
If the pointer of the vacuum indicator goes into the red section, it
is an indication of a too low air velocity in the hose and the tube,
and the multi-tube filter should therefore be cleaned.
The multitube filter can be cleaned during operation.
User Manual
RONDA®2600 The Vac for Factories and Warehouses 18 V. BRØNDUM A/S
The multi-tube filter can be cleaned during operation, i.e. while the machine is working.
Remove the hose from the front nozzle or the equipment
connected.
Block the suction.
(You can block the hose with a piece of cardboard, or you
can let the appliance suck on a level surface, for instance
a floor or the like).
Vacuum will now be formed inside the appliance.
By this, the springs of the multi-tube filter will contract a little.
Pull the ”lid” of the shock valve. (A regular pull, not a tug).
When the spring power overcomes the vacuum, the valve will open with a ”Purf”.
In order to equalize the pressure difference in the vacuum
cleaner and the pressure outside the vacuum cleaner, air will
flush backwards through the multi-tube filter and reject possible
accumulations. (Back flush).
In this way the multi-tube filter will be efficiently cleaned. The
effect of the cleaning can be seen on the vacuum indicator –if
not, the HEPA-filter may be blocked.
Repeat the process if necessary. (2-3 times should remove
even the most stubborn dirt.)
User Manual
RONDA®2600 The Vac for Factories and Warehouses 19 V. BRØNDUM A/S
Emptying
RONDA2600 collects the material directly in
the collection container.
It is advisable to clean the filters before
emptying the container (see the section about
filter cleaning).
If the appliance has been used immediately
before, it is recommended to wait a few minutes
with the emptying, so that the fine dust can fall
to the bottom of the collection container.
Lift up the black handle at the bottom of the
appliance in order to remove the container.
The collection container is released from the
packing and will be lowered to the floor.
Now the container can be rolled out.
To mount the container it is rolled under the machine until it is caught by the
edge at the front of the appliance.
The handle is pressed down, and the grippers will catch the container and
lift it up to the correct position.

RONDA®2600 The Vac for Factories and Warehouses 20 V. BRØNDUM A/S
IMPORTANT!
The appliance must not be connected
to the power supply during cleaning or
maintenance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The appliance must not be connected to the power supply
during cleaning or maintenance. The appliance must always
be emptied and cleaned after use and must never be left
with dust in the container. (Risk of self-ignition).
The easiest way to clean the appliance is as follows:
The multi-tube filter is cleaned as required. See the description under “Filter Cleaning during Operation”.
Wipe the outside of the appliance with a dry or slightly wet cloth.
Maintenance of the Motor Top
The motor top is made of maintenance-free parts and needs no daily maintenance, apart from external cleaning
and inspection of electrical cords and plugs to ensure that these are not damaged.
The easiest way to clean the motor top is with a damp cloth. Never aim jets of water directly at the motor top.
In order to avoid unscheduled stops, it is recommended that the electrical parts are inspected annually by an
authorized technician.
It is recommended to have an authorized service centre inspect the brushes of the suction motor after approx.
800 working hours, and if necessary, replace them. In this way the life of the suction motor is prolonged.
