IMPORTANT SERVICE INFORMATION:

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the unit and other parts from the box; check against the packing list. Remove the hose from
inside the dust bin as well as any protective paper packing material.
2. Plug the removable power cord into the back of the unit. Try the unit by pushing the switch to the ON
position making sure the AutoPilot AUTO/MANUAL switch is in the MANUAL position.
3. The vacuum hose supplied slips onto the vacuum connection near the front panel of the unit and the
other end connects to the collection device desired. The ideal location for the StoneVac II is under the
bench where the user works. The single station hose supplied is 2½” x 6 feet long and accordions to
the desired length. Hose extensions and adaptors are available from your dealer. We recommend,
however, that you try to keep the total length of hose less than 6 feet between the StoneVac II and the
dust collection point. Longer hose will reduce suction. See the enclosed accessories guide for collection
device details or call your Vaniman dealer.
CONNECTING THE AUTOPILOT
Introduction:
The AutoPilot allows you to control your dust collector from a micromotor or lathe. When
you start your micromotor, the dust collector will start automatically. When you stop your
micromotor, the dust collector will continue for a short period of time to allow for the residual
dust to be cleared.
WARNING:
The Autopilot will accommodate a micromotor,
electric handpiece, or lathe that does not exceed
5 amps, 115VAC, total
1. Turn the unit on at the main power switch. Move the other switch to AUTOMATIC, the dust collector
should turn off.

2. Plug one micromotor into the receptacle on the back of the dust collector. If the dust collector comes
on, the sensitivity is set too high for your micromotor; we will adjust it in a moment. If the dust collector did not start when first plugged in; start the micromotor now. If the dust collector starts, then the
sensitivity is set correctly. The dust collector will continue to run for about 5 to 10 seconds after you
stop using the micromotor.
3. If the sensitivity is not set correctly, it can be adjusted by the screw located on the front of the unit
to the left of the switches. There are two adjustment screws. Only adjust the one on the right. To
increase the sensitivity, gently turn the screw counter-clockwise (to the left). If your dust collector did
not start when you started the micromotor, then increase the sensitivity by gently turning the screw
slightly counter-clockwise waiting two seconds after each adjustment. Try the micromotor again. If the
dust collector does not start, then gently increase sensitivity a little more. Repeat this process until the
dust collector starts when the micromotor is running. If the dust collector starts but does not turn off
even when the micromotor is stopped, you may have to decrease the sensitivity slightly.
4. If after following these steps, the unit does not operate properly, please contact Vaniman as there may
be addition adjustments or steps that can be made to attain the results you require.
NSK Ultimate XL-K and/or Z500 Series Handpiece Users
From the NSK Ultimate XL-K and Z500 Users manual:
“Vacuum-coupled Mode"
On some dental tables with vacuum dust collector, the motor may be used while being coupled with a
dust collector.
When such a dust collector is used, power consumption of the Ultimate XL-K/Z500 can be regulated so
that the vacuum coupled function can work. If you need coupling with a vacuum dust collector, select
the mode as follows:
How to select the mode
While pressing Forward/Reverse Selector Switch (button), turn on the Power Switch, and the mode can
be selected. A long beep indicates vacuum-coupled mode and 2 short beeps indicate non-coupled mode.
Each time the switch selection is made, the mode changes between vacuum-coupled mode and noncoupled mode.
MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning the Filter - When a noticeable drop in suction occurs with the StoneVac II, it is time to clean
the filter. To use the self-cleaning feature of the StoneVac II, push and hold the Power switch in the
CLEAN position for several seconds. Optimum cleaning takes place within 5 seconds. For best results, wait an additional 5-7 seconds with the Power switch in the OFF or center position, this allows
the dust cleaned from the filter to fall into the dust bin before turning the unit on again.
2. Emptying the Dust Bin - Depending on usage, the Dust Bin will need to be emptied at different intervals. Check the level of dust in the bin by lifting and turning the latches on the unit door panel. Open
and observe the dust level. To empty, set the panel aside and slide the Dust Bin from the unit; pull the
retaining band off from around the Dust Bin ledge and gather the sides of the plastic bag together. Replace the bag with a Vaniman replacement and place the bag into the Dust Bin, folding the open end
of the bag over the Dust Bin edges, and putting the retaining band around the bag edges as before.
Then slide the Dust Bin back into the unit. Replacement dust bin bags P/N 97002.

3. Replacing the filter cartridge - Regularly check the filter to make sure it is secure and properly
seated against the filter mounting/sealing plate. Periodically, the filter cartridge will become worn or
clogged beyond the use of the CLEAN feature. In cases when dust collector usage is heavy, changing interval may be as frequent as 3-6 months. To replace the filter, follow the instructions above to
remove and empty the dust bin. With the dust bin removed, reach underneath the Filter Cartridge
and unscrew the filter retaining nut. Remove the nut and washers and pull the filter downward then
forward out of the unit. Replace the filter with a new filter cartridge by performing the removal instructions in reverse. Filter Cartridge re-order P/N 97001.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the rubber washer FIRST and the metal washer SECOND. Securely fasten
the filter retaining nut. Improper installation may cause dust to pass into the air.
4. Electrical Protection - The unit is protected by a circuit breaker. If the unit is plugged in and does not
operate, check to see if the circuit breaker was activated by inspecting it on the back of the unit where
the power cord enters the unit. If the circuit breaker was activated, push the button in the center to
reset it. If the unit still does not operate, contact your dealer or call the factory at 1-800-VANIMAN for
technical assistance.
RECOMMENDED USAGE
1. Individual work station (2½” hose) or dry model trimmer dust collection for trimming or grinding Die
Stone. While the StoneVac II PLUS was designed specifically for Die Stone, it will also handle other
dust developed at the same workstation such as alloy, porcelain, and acrylic.
2. The StoneVac II can be used with abrasives or micro-blasters. If used for this application, it is important that the filter be serviced or replaced regularly. Additionally, Vaniman's pre-filter Accumulator
helps capture abrasive before it reaches the dust collector, increasing the life of the unit.
