■ Turn the switch (1) to "I" position to start the vacuum
cleaner.
■ Turn the switch to "0" position to turn the vacuum cleaner
off.
Checking the rotation direction of the vacuum unit
motor
Check the vacuum cleaner operation by putting a hand on the
inlet.
If the vacuum cleaner blows air out of the vacuum hose, the
motor rotation direction is wrong; disconnect the machine from
the electrical mains and invert two of the three phase wires
inside the power plug or inside the electrical panel to which
the power cable is connected.

Emergency stopping

Turn the main switch to "0" position.

Maintenance, cleaning and
decontamination
WARNING!
The precautions described below must be taken
during all the maintenance operations, including
cleaning and replacing of the filter.
■ To allow the user to carry out the maintenance
operations, the vacuum cleaner must be
disassembled, cleaned and overhauled as far as
is reasonably possible, without causing hazards
for the maintenance staff or other people. The
suitable precautions include decontamination
before disassembling the device, adequate
filtered ventilation of the exhaust air from the
room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of the
maintenance area and suitable personal protection.
Compartments that are not dust-tight must be opened
with suitable tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.) and
thoroughly cleaned.
■ Carry out a technical inspection at least once a
year, for example: check the filters to find out
whether the air-tightness of the vacuum cleaner
has been impaired in any way and make sure that
the electric control panel operates correctly. This
inspection must be carried out by the manufacturer
or by a competent person.
