7.0 TESTING FOR GROUND CONTINUITY
WARNING:
Test the electrical continuity of the vacuum cleaner before use.
This will ensure that any static electricity that is produced
while vacuuming will be discharged to ground.
WARNING:
Use only original replacement parts from the manufacturer or
from one of its authorized distributors.
An ohm-meter is required to perform the following electrical continuity test.
a. Disconnect the power cable from the outlet.
b. Make sure all the latches on the vacuum cleaner system are fastened and the
connecting hose is properly installed between the filter chamber and the
immersion separator.
c. Disconnect the suction hose from the suction intake on the immersion separator.
d. Using an ohm-meter, test the electrical continuity of the vacuum cleaner system
from the ground pin at the end of the power cable to the suction intake
on
the immersion separator. A reading between 10
6
ohms and 10
9
ohms or less is
satisfactory to ensure proper grounding and static dissipation.
e.
Using the ohm-meter test for the electrical continuity
of the suction hose from
one end to the other.
A reading between 10
6
ohms and 10
9
ohms or less is
satisfactory to ensure proper grounding and static dissipation.
IMPORTANT:
If you obtain a reading higher than what is indicated above it is
possible your vacuum cleaner system could not ensure a
proper dissipation of static electricity. In such case some
maintenance is needed.
