This unit complies with the
WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) Guidelines
, which promote the recycling
of this type of waste equipment and encourage the development
of products that are adapted to efficient waste reclamation at
the end of their life cycle.
The WEEE Guidelines stipulate that the original supplier should
agree to reclaim any obsolete equipment free of charge. We
recommend that you advise your supplier that you would like
him to reclaim your unit when you order and replace it with a new one.
Do not discard the unit with your regular garbage. The symbol representing a garbage
bin on wheels on the unit’s label
(Figure C)
attests to this requirement. You must
ensure that, at the end of its life cycle, your unit is reclaimed, treated and recycled by
an authorized retailer or firm.
For more information, contact your municipal waste management department.
If you wish to speak with a customer service
representative, please contact your supplier/dealer.
To find a retailer near you, please visit our website.
All presented units respect the European directive RoHS which limits the usage of
six dangerous substances.
MOTOR BRUSHES
Beyond the occasional external cleaning, we recommend that you
inspect your motor
brushes after 500 hours of use
to check how worn they are and have them replaced if
necessary. On average, this inspection should occur once every 3 to 5 years. When the
time comes, contact your retailer or distributor for this maintenance procedure. Take note
that the motor brushes are not included in the warranty.
FILTER AND DUST BAG
You must clean the filter and replace the dust bag periodically. This will prevent your
vacuum from losing any power and will extend its lifespan.
• The dust bag
CANNOT
be washed or emptied. It must be replaced by a new one. If
you notice a flagrant decline of power, it may be a sign of a full dust bag and must
be changed. For a reference purpose, a regular usage with a 3,75 gal (17L) unit, the
bag usual gets replaced after 6 to 12 months. For a 9 gal (41L) unit, it is around 12 to
18 months.
DO NOT CHANGE THE DUST BAG WHILE THE UNIT IS RUNNING.
• The filter can be easily cleaned in the washing machine but it is not recommended
to put it in the dryer. It must be
COMPLETLY DRY
before reusing. Regarding the
cleaning frequency of the cage filter, we recommend cleaning whenever the dust
bag is changed.
To change them, release the clamps from the tank.
1. Remove the bag and discard it.
2. Clean or wash the filter and let it dry.
3. Place the filter.
4. Place the new dust bag.
5. Reattach the tank to the main unit.
Each system requires a minimum maintenance, without any exception.
Every model of the compact series is designed to operate with a dust bag
and a cage filter.
Improper use will void the warranty.
