PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE CHECKS

The SUPERVEGA BATTERY SUCTION UNIT suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication. It
is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information con-
tained in the user manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn't appear to be necessary.
Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and AC/DC switching adapter , feeding ca-
ble, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch
on. Close the aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check
that the vacuum indicators reaches -80kPa (-0.80 bar) minimum (internal battery). Rotate the knob from right
to left and check the aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down -40kPa (-0.40 bar).
Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning.
Internally, the device is protected (see electrical specifications) by two fuses F1, F2 (T 15A L 125V) that can-
not be reached from the outside. Therefore, contact the manufacturer to request the assistance of an author-
ized and qualified technician when they need to be replaced. If it's replaced make sure that its replacement is
always the same type and value, as indicated.
The device is made up of a lead battery which cannot be accessed from the outside. In order to replace it,
consult the technical staff authorised by the manufacturer.
