At the end of the work, and before carrying out any type of maintenance, perform the following
operations:
1. Take the machine to the place where it is maintained and carry out all the procedures listed in the
chapter “ MAINTENANCE”.
2. Take the machine to the designated machine storage place.
3. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see "MACHINE
SAFETY”).
ATTENTION: Park the machine in an enclosed place, on a flat surface; near the machine
there must be no objects that could either damage it, or be damaged through contact with it.
Properly cleaning the vacuum unit makes sure the machine works efficiently and effectively when
operating, to carry out maintenance do as follows:
1. Take all necessary steps to ensure that the device is in a safe condition (see "MACHINE
SAFETY”).
2. Remove the vacuum head (1) using the handle, before removing the head loosen the locking
hooks (2) on the side of the collection tank (Fig.1). Rest the vacuum head gently on the floor.
3. Remove the filter cartridge (3) (Fig.2) and clean it under the tap water. Remove the filter. For
AVAC12, unscrew the clip (6) and remove the filter as shown in Fig. 3.
N.B. : If the surface of the filter is extremely dirty, brush the filter with a normal soft brush to
clean it thoroughly, and if necessary wash it in water.
ATTENTION: Check the condition of the foam filter if the filter surface area is particularly
clogged or if it is damaged replace it.
N.B. : If the surface of the filter is extremely dirty, brush the filter with a normal soft brush to
clean it thoroughly, and if necessary wash it in water.
ATTENTION: Check the condition of the cloth filter if the filter surface area is particularly
clogged or if it is damaged replace it.
4. Clean the inside of the collection tank with a damp cloth.
5. Put back the vacuum head (1) on top of the collection tank (3), remembering to secure it with
the hook catches (2).
6. Disconnect the vacuum hose (7) from the vacuum nozzle (8) on the collection tank, before
pulling the vacuum hose press the release button (9) (Fig.5).
7. Clean the inside of the vacuum hose with a jet of compressed air, if necessary removing any
obstructions.
8. Disconnect the cleaning accessory.
9. Clean the inside of the vacuum chamber of the accessory with compressed air, and if necessary
remove any obstructions.
WORK
VACUUMING DRY OBJECTS
To vacuum dry objects, do as follows:
1. Insert the vacuum hose (1) from the vacuum nozzle (2) on the collection tank, before
pulling the vacuum hose press the button (3) for unlocking the catch (Fig.1).
2. Select the most suitable accessory for the work to be carried out. Insert the selected
accessory into the vacuum hose, if necessary also use the extension tubes.
3. Insert the plug (4) of the power supply cable (5) in the mains supply socket (6) (Fig.2).
ATTENTION: Do not exceed the maximum mains impedance value allowed for the
electrical connection point (see Technical Data). Please contact your electrical energy
supplier if in doubts concerning mains impedance on the connecting point.
CAUTION: Do not insert the power cable into the socket of the mains plug with wet
hands.
4. Switch on the machine by setting the main switch (7) to “I” (Fig. 3).
5. Start work.
N.B. : If the type of work requires it, also start the second vacuum motor.
ATTENTION: Risk of damage! If dry vacuuming, never remove the cloth filter while
vacuuming. Vacuuming fine dust requires the replacement of the cloth filter with a more
appropriate cartridge filter (optional component).
If when working a reduction in the vacuum power is noted or the noise of the machine becomes
louder:
•
Switch off the machine by positioning the main switch (7) to the rest position (Fig. 3).
•
Remove the plug (4) of the power supply cable (5) from the mains supply socket (6) (Fig.2).
WARNING: To prevent damaging to the mains socket, disconnect the plug from the mains
socket by directly pulling the plug and not the power cable.
•
Remove the vacuum head (8) using the handle on it, before removing the head loosen the
locking hooks (9) on the side of the collection tank (10) (Fig.4).
•
Remove the nylon filter (11) from the inside of the drum (Fig. 5), shake and clean the nylon
filter

Empty the collection tank.
N.B. : The place intended for this operation must comply with local environmental
regulations.
•
Repeat the operations in reverse order to start working again.
N.B. :
If the previous operations have not resolved the low vacuum, switch off the machine
and remove blockage from the vacuum hose or from the accessories being used.
