Function
The motor is started by the switch. Dust laden air is then sucked through the inlet valve at high speed
via the suction hose. The air is slowed down by the cyclone and coarse dust particles are separated
out, partly by centrifugal force and partly by gravity. Air and finer particles then pass through the fine
filter where separation is made.
Use
For more hygienic and environmentally friendly collection, emptying and handling the suction
apparatus should be provided with Pullman-Ermator´s patented disposable filter bag. This causes less
wear on the suction apparatus and its components. This is above all applicable in connection with dust
(dry) suction and in connection with suction of wet dirt or in order to filter out particles in dirty water
(the bags tolerate water). When sucking foaming liquids, the filter bag can, in certain cases, also have
a foam-damping effect.
For the best function, the following should be checked:
Dust: Check that the dust filter is whole and that it is not blocked by dirt and that the filter bag
is correctly fitted.
If the matter sucked up is to be collected in the tank, use a Dacron filter instead of a
filter bag, mounted on the outside of the dust filter. This gives the dust filter extra
protection. For suction of dust which is hazardous to health, the dust filter is
supplemented with a DOP-tested filter.
Combi: Check that the combination filter is correctly fitted and that the outlet valve on the rear
of the tank is closed. Fit the filter bag when it is appropriate to use one.
Barrel: Check that the rubber seal of the intermediate flange is whole and clean and that the
empty barrel which is to be used does not have such serious damage that it its not
tightly sealed.
Fit the suction hose on the suction apparatus
There is a hose intake with a hose lock on the tank. Lift the hose lock and insert the suction hose´s
metal adapter into the hose intake. Lower the hose lock into the recess of the adapter. The hose lock
fixes the adapter in the hose intake and is lifted when the suction hose is to be removed.
Fit the nozzle on the hand pipe
On the 38mm hand pipe (older), there is an expander coupling. Check that the expander ring is
retained in the knurled nut and that it is not worn down. Fit the nozzle by loosening the nut until the
nozzle is retained but can be threaded onto the nozzle´s pipe socket. The tighten the nut until the
nozzle is retained but can still be turned.
On the 50mm equipment (older), there is a bump on the nozzle side of the hand pipe. On the nozzle
there is a recessed groove in the connection ring. The bump and the recess are adapted
so that the nozzle can be pushed over the bump. Then turn the nozzle until it is fixed in the correct
working position.
The floor nozzle has adjustable wheels. Adjust the wheel setting so as to achieve the best suction
effect. Adjust the wheels with the knob which is located on the rear side of the nozzle. The wheels and
rubber strips of the nozzle are replaceable. Ensure that the nozzle is kept in good condition.
Connect the electric plug of the suction apparatus to an electrical outlet with the correct voltage (see
the designation plate).
Start the suction apparatus with the switch.
After use
Switch off the suction apparatus with the switch. Remove the plug on the electrical cable from the
electrical outlet. Do not pull the electrical cable!
Empty and clean the suction apparatus and the accessories used. Replace the filter bag if it is full or if
the suction has decreased on account of blockage in the bag. If necessary, the tank and accessories can
be flushed clean.
Never leave water or wet dirt in the suction apparatus. This can cause bad smells and poor hygiene.
