Always use perfectly working tools specifically intended for the operation to be carried out; the use of inadequate or inefficient tools can cause severe damages.

Any other intervention required to remove faults or malfunctions must be expressly authorised by the manufacturer.

In these cases, always communicate the vacuum identification data - see para. 1.4 of this manual.

For significant repairs, refer to the authorised dealer, whose specialised personnel has the technological expertise and is always available for prompt interventions.

For user maintenance operations, the vacuum must be disassembled, cleaned and maintained, where possible, in such a way as to prevent hazards to the maintenance personnel and to third parties. Suitable precautionary measures include decontamination before dismantling, measures for filtered forced ventilation of the room where the appliance is disassembled, cleaning of the maintenance area and suitable personal protection equipment.

Once every three months (or more frequently, according to the operating cycle and the conditions of use), the manufacturer or a qualified technician must check the filters, ensuring that they are not damaged; the tightness of the air system and proper operation of the control devices.

Should maintenance operations or repairs be carried out, all contaminated objects must be adequately cleaned, placed in waterproof bags and disposed of in compliance with the regulations in force.

General safety regulations

Warning!

All the operations described above must be carried out with the plug disconnected from the socket.

Before starting any maintenance or cleaning operation, wear suitable PPE (protective clothing, goggles and/or gloves, etc.) according to the work to be done.

Place a sign on the vacuum with the message:

“MACHINE UNDER MAINTENANCE

DO NOT START”

Before returning to use, the whole system must be checked according starting procedures.

Run a few trial operating cycles after every maintenance operation to ensure proper machine operation.

Failure to observe these precautions can cause serious injury to personnel.

Maintenance operations must be carried out by trained technicians specialised in the following sectors:

• Mechanical maintenance

• Electrical maintenance

It is the Safety Manager's duty to ensure the professionalism and skills of these technicians.

Before starting any maintenance operation, the Safety Manager must :

- Keep unauthorised personnel out of the work area.

Ensure that the necessary tools are in good conditions and readily available to the maintenance technician.

Ensure the maintenance technician is equipped with the personal protection equipment required for the specific operation (gloves, goggles, shoes, mask, etc.)

Make sure the maintenance technician has carefully read the instructions contained in this manual and has perfectly acquired knowledge on the operation of the vacuum and its components.

- Ensure that there is enough light and, if necessary, provide 24 Volt torches.

Before starting any maintenance operation, the Maintenance technician must : cut off all power supplies and set the vacuum cleaner in safety lock condition

Warning!

If absolutely necessary operating with the power turned on, pursuant to Italian

Legislative Decree 81/08, the maintenance technician must maintain a safe distance, prepare reachable emergency stop buttons and never place hands in the discharge container.

At the end of the procedure and before returning to use, the maintenance technician must check that guards are functioning correctly and the protection devices are intact.

Operations on the motors or on other electrical components must only be carried out by the specially trained electrical maintenance technician authorised by the Safety Manager.

Warning!

After any maintenance intervention, the Health and Safety Manager is required to check the safety conditions of the vacuum cleaner and of its safety devices.

Before every work shift

- Check that the power cord and the plug are not damaged: replace them immediately if there are any signs of wear, using a cord of the same type (information c/o DEPURECO). This operation is the sole responsibility of an electrician.

- Check the integrity of the safety symbols (pictograms) applied to the vacuum cleaner.

- Verify the efficiency of the filters by checking the vacuum gauge.

- Check the integrity of the hose and of the accessories to be used.

Warning!

The flexible hose, if perforated, reduces the suction power and releases dust into the surrounding environment.
