Warnings
1. Before any kind of maintenance or service is carried out, turn off the
machine and remove the power supply from its socket.
This does not apply for the manual cleaning of the filter.
2. During installation, service, maintenance or use, precautions must be taken
to ensure that no foreign objects will enter the vacuum pump. Should this
happen, the pump must be turned off and under no circumstances be
started against before the object has been removed. Doing otherwise can
cause the destruction of the pump.
3. The vacuum cleaner is not to be used for vacuuming wet or damp
material/dust. If water or any wet/damp material enters the vacuum
cleaner, the machine must be stopped immediately, taken apart and dried
up before it can be used again.
4. The vacuum cleaner should, under no circumstances, be used for
the suction of burning, glowing, explosive or inflammable fluids or
materials.
5. If the filter shows any sign of damage, it must be replaced before the
vacuum cleaner is used in order to avoid damages to the vacuum pump.
6. The cooling air intake to the vacuum pump must at all times be kept open
and free from dust and foreign objects.
7. Always treat used filters and used dust bags with care since they might
contain hazardous dust. Put the used filter in a large plastic bag and seal it
tightly. You should always seal used dust bags too.
8. The vacuum cleaner must never be used without filter, dust bag or vacuum
filter.
9. All service, repair and trouble-shooting of the central vacuum cleaner and
the vacuum pump are to only be performed by authorised staff.
10. Some dust may be harmful to the health and/or the environment. Check
with the regulation at your workplace and in your country. Disposal of used
filters and dust bags must be made in accordance with governmental
regulations.

Installation
1. The vacuum cleaner must be installed in a well-ventilated and dry area. The
temperature around the machine must not exceed normal room temperature.
2. The vacuum cleaner must not be installed in potentially explosive
environments. Make sure to know in which ATEX zone the machine is installed.
3. The area must comply with the electrical insulation class of the vacuum
cleaner.
4. Make sure there is enough space around the vacuum cleaner to allow for
maintenance and service. Keep in mind that cleaning and changing the filter
will require additional room above the machine.
5. The floor must be even and stable enough to carry the weight of the vacuum
cleaner.
6. The central vacuum cleaner must be anchored to the floor to keep it from
tilting.
7. The central vacuum cleaner should be connected to the main electrical system
with the power supply. Check the tension before connecting the vacuum
cleaner.
8. The connection to the piping system is optimally performed with a flexible
hose in order to avoid the transfer of vibrations.
9. Make sure that the electrical system between the vacuum cleaner and the
piping system is properly grounded, if the piping system is made of metal.
10. All electrical installation and maintenance on electrical parts are only to be
performed by an authorised electrician.

Maintenance and service
1. Before any kind of maintenance or service is carried out, turn off the machine
and remove the power supply from its socket.
This does not apply for the manual cleaning of the filter.
2. Check the filter regularly, at least once a week or other suitable interval
depending on use. If necessary, clean the filter.
3. Change the filter at least once a year or more frequently depending on use.
4. Change the filter if it shows any sign of damage or has a hole.
5. Change the dust bag before it becomes too full.
6. Check that the cooling air intake to the vacuum pipe is free.
7. Check the vacuum filter. It is found inside the hose going from the dust
container to the pipe connecting the cyclone top to the vacuum pump. Clean
if necessary.
8. For service of the vacuum pump, please read the manufacturer’s operating
instructions, which are enclosed with this user manual.
9. Please note that service and repair of the electrical system and the vacuum
pump are only to be performed by authorised staff.
