INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a product from the V-TUF Industrial Cleaning Equipment range.
V-TUF is focused on research and development to make sure you are fully satisfied with your purchase.
Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions to ensure you get the best
performance from this machine.
Congratulations on your choice and we trust you will obtain satisfaction from using it.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE AT ALL TIMES!
1. Always ensure you are using the correct combination of filters for the task you are on.
(See page 4.)
2. If you experience vacuum loss, please clean the filters, check & clear the blockage in the suction
line, and blast the vacuum head vents with air, so you have maximum suction power.
(See page 4 & 5.)
3. Do not leave the vacuum motors running if there is loss of suction, as they can overheat.
4. After every hour of use especially when vacuuming dry flammable dust, blast the filters clear with
an airline and blast the vent areas in the vacuum head to clear any build-up of dust. (See page 4 & 5.)
5. Never use standard extension cords on the 240 volt machines, as these are not sufficient for three
motor operation and can burn the motors out – use the ‘Motor saver’ extension cords (see page 14)

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. This manual has been included as an integral part of the appliance and should be carefully read
through before using the machine.
2. Take the appliance out of its packaging and make sure it is in perfect condition, including accessories
and any optional extras you have purchased from the V-TUF range.
3. Make sure that the electrical data of the appliance, shown on the label, corresponds to those of the
mains supply.
4. The appliance must only be used with V-TUF accessories and spare parts as these ensure safe and
perfect operation.
5. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for injury to persons and animals and damage to things due to the
irresponsible use of the appliance and to the use of non-original accessories and spare parts.
6. The repair and/or replacement of the various component parts, especially electrical parts, must be done
by skilled personnel.
7. The appliance is suitable for use in a range of applications: (hotels, schools, factories, shops, etc...)
INSTALLATION
1. Check the position of the filter and the clips that fasten the head to the tank.
Incorrect filter positioning can cause serious damage to the machine.
2. Fit the hose to the vacuum connector; fit the required accessory to the
end of the hose. Inthe case of extractor models fit the pipe on the connector
provided on the head and fit the required accessory to the end of the pipe.
3. Connect the power cable of the appliance to the power socket with switches
on "0" (OFF POSITION).
4.
5. To vacuum liquids, empty the dust from the container, remove the main
Aqua-Dry basket filter and ensure the foam filter is fitted.
(See image 5 on the right)
After the vacuum has been used for wet use ensure the tank and foam filter
is dry before vacuuming dry material.
6.
6. The noise level is below 85 dB(A)
For general DRY material vacuuming and a bit of WET material
vacuuming (typical in auto valeting), ensure the Aqua-dry and
the Foam filter is in place. (See image 4)
Important: If you are vacuuming a lot of fine dust,
we advise you to fit the optional High Efficiency
FILTER - VTVS7026L, fits over the main basket filter, as
shown in the image. This filter must be used for grain
store cleaning on farms or in industry where there is
fine dust or if your notice your machine losing
suction quickly.

Technical Information
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation for the machine and the operator
2. Make sure the machine on a sound and stable surface.
3. Ensure the machine is switched to the off position, connect to the correct and sufficient power source,
switch machine on, use according to the guidelines and turn machine off after operation.
IMPORTANT
1. The wet and dry machines feature a floating valve that interrupts the vacuum when the tank is full of
liquid. When this occurs, turn the machine off and empty the entire contents of the tank.
2. Do not use your machine if it is not functioning correctly. Regularly inspect electrical leads and
connections, filters and listen for unusual noises. If in doubt, contact your nearest service centre for
advice.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
1. The filter element can be blown clean OR washed with water.
Ensure that it is completely dry before the operation.
2. Replace the vacuum filter if it acquires holes, torn or damaged.
Holes and/or cuts on the sides of the filter could allow transit of
dust / materials and become the cause of serious damage to the
user and surrounding people, and the appliance.
3. Check and free the blocked parts (vacuum pipes, connector,
brushes, etc.) from any deposited materials.
4. If necessary, clean the tank and in any case, never leave dust
or liquid residues in the tank for long periods of time.
5. Fires can be started by excess flammable dust, so it is recommended for the vac head to
be blown out with air periodically. Blast the inlet to motors with air and blast the exhaust ports
with air. (See image)
6. If the filters have not been fitted correctly and the dust has gone through the motors, undo
the 5 screws on top of the machine and blast the area under the cover and the fans of the
motors clean.

Maintenance, cleaning and repair
Only perform the maintenance work described in this booklet on the equipment. In case of uncertainty,
contact the dealer or an authorized service centre.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Vacuum assembly and testing
Before using the device, check that:
No foreign elements are present within the container.
Ensure that the head if fastened down with the head clips. This guarantees an air-tight seal.
The hose is correctly connected to the tank.
the machine is connected to the correct electrical supply.
Initial working phase check
Before beginning to vacuum, check that the filters fit properly within the device and that they are
positioned correctly.
Check that the main cap of the tank and the cap on the drain hose are firmly in place (see below:
The vacuum has a float valve to seal the air flow to the vacuum motors when the liquid being vacuumed
reaches the maximum level in the tank.
The motors will still run but the sound will be become higher and there will be no more suction.
The following must be done:
1. Switch off all motors
2. Loosen the hand nut on the drainpipe & remove the plug (see figure below)

14
3. Drop drainpipe to an area you wish to dispose if the liquid. (See below)
Please note: You cannot run the vacuum motors while doing this.
USE OF THE DEVICE
ATTENTION The aspiration of flammable dusts/substances is forbidden.
The sector’s reference standard, EN 60335-2-69/A1:2004, lists the dusts which present a risk of explosion
when brought into contact with ignition sources.
A filter bag must always be inserted into the container when the device is to be employed for vacuuming
dry substances with MaK values.
For innocuous dusts, a lower-performance paper filter bag is also available.
FILTER BAG REFERENCE TABLE:
ATTENTION
The dust collection bag must not be filled past ¾ of their capacities. Check periodically during use.
Do not vacuum liquids or particularly humid substances while the bag filters are installed.
END OF WORK ACTIVITIES
After hazardous dusts have been vacuumed, the user must open the vacuum.
Disconnect the device’s power supply by removing its electrical plug from the outlet.
Empty the container and clean the vacuum.
Store the vacuum in a safe place where it cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel.
MAINTENANCE: FILTER REMOVAL
ATTENTION
