hypochlorite-based solutions. Put the instrument and accessories in a bag with indication of disinfecting.
We also request to specify the kind of fault, in order to speed up repairing procedures.
To this end, please read the instructions carefully in order to avoid damaging the equipment through improper use.
Always specify the fault encountered so that GIMA can establish whether it falls into the category of the faults covered by the guarantee.
MAINTENANCE
The SUPER VEGA BATTERIA suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is necessary to check functioning and instrument before every use. Unpack the instrument and
always check
integrity of plastic parts and feeding
cable, 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
– 75 kPa (-0.75 bar) minimum (internal battery). Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control.
The vacuum indicator should go down – 40 kPa (-0.40 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning.
The equipment may also be used with the power cord hooked up to the electricity mains (the yellow light switches over to the fixed green light).
Ensure that the green light comes on and that, after a few seconds it switches over to the yellow light (meaning that the charged battery is operating).
A protection fuse (
F 1 x 630mA 250V
) reachable from exterior and it situated in the plug protects the instrument.
For fuse replacing, always the type and the range.
The device is made up of a lead battery which cannot be accessed by outside. In order to replace it, consult the technical staff authorised by the
manufacturer.
