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.

Replacement of the filter
When replacing the filter, it is recommendable to use a breathing mask. Always treat
both new and used filters with utmost care. Even a very small damage or a hole on a
filter will severely reduce its filtration abilities. A used filter may still contain dust,
which can be potentially harmful to the health and/or the environment and should
therefore be disposed of according to governmental regulations. Put the used filter in a
plastic bag and seal it tightly. Only use original filters.
1. Turn the central vacuum off and unplug the power supply.
2. Loosen the upper hose clamp on the hose connecting the top of the filter housing and the
suction pipe to the pump.
3. Loosen the locking ring that hold the top of the filter housing.
4. Lift off the top.
5. Carefully lift the filter out of the housing so that the dust does not spread out.
6. Place the filter upside down on the floor.
7. Remove the nut and shim (M8, 13 mm wrench) at the bottom of the filter.
8. Put a plastic bag over the filter and remove the filter from the filter top.
9. Fit a new filter. Fit the shim and nut. Tighten the nut so that the distance between the filter and
the filter top is approximately 8 mm.
10. Lift the filter back into the filter housing. Make sure that the filter is correctly centred in the filter
housing and that the gasket is in the right position.
11. Mount the lid on the filter housing. Make sure that the pipe is correctly fitted in the hose.
12. Fit the locking ring.
13. Tighten the hose clamp on the hose between the top of the filter housing and the suction pipe to
the clamp.

Manual cleaning of the filter (Back flush)
1. Start the vacuum cleaner by turning the main switch to the “MAN” position. Let the pump work
for approximately 15 seconds until it reaches the maximum number of revolutions.
2. Pull the filter cleaning handle (black knob) on the top of the vacuum cleaner until you hear a
loud bang.
3. Turn off the vacuum cleaner by turning the main switch to the “OFF” position.
4. Wait until the pump has stopped completely, which takes approximately 20 seconds.
5. Pull the filter cleaning handle again and then push it all the way in until it stops.
6. If the filter has not been properly cleaned, repeat the previous steps (1-5).
If the suction capacity is still low, this process may be repeated. If the suction capacity is still low after
several back flushes, the filter needs to be replaced.

Trouble-shooting
The trouble-shooting must be carried out by an authorised professional.
1. The vacuum cleaner does not start, either with the main switch in “MAN” or “AUTO” position.
a. Check that there is power to the vacuum cleaner.
b. Check that the control fuse in the electrical cabinet is not tripped. If so, reset it.
c. Check that the motor protection is not tripped. If so, reset it.
d. If any of the above protection or fuse are tripped again when trying to start the unit,
the probable cause can be a short circuit or the loss of one or two phases. Before a
new attempt is made, an authorised electrician must check the electrical installation,
the power supply and the vacuum pump for a possible short circuit.
2. The vacuum cleaner only starts with the main switch in “MAN” position.
a. Check the low voltage wiring from the machine to the vacuum outlets.
3. The yellow lamp “FILTER” is lit (on applicable models)
a. Take out and clean the filter. Check for damage or holes in the filter. If it is damaged,
the filter must be replaced.
4. The red lamp “LEVEL” is lit (on application models)
a. Change the plastic bag located in the dust container. Check also the filter and clean or
replace it accordingly. If the lamp is still lit after the bag change, the lenses at the
bottom of the cyclone need to be cleaned.
5. Poor suction.
a. Clean or replace the filter. If this does not help, the density of the piping system must
be checked.
6. Unusual noise from the vacuum pump.
a. Turn off the vacuum pump immediately and contact the supplier.
7. The dust bag is sucked into the cyclone/filter housing.
a. Check that the vacuum hose going from the dust container to the vacuum pump has
not come loose or been damaged. If so, tighten it or replace it with a new one.
b. Check that the vacuum filter located in the above-mentioned hose is clean. If
necessary, clean it. Also clean the dust container.
c. Check that the dust container fits tightly with the cyclone.
