Frequently Asked Questions - VC 60U HILTI

What types of waste can I vacuum with the VC 60-U?

The VC 60-U is designed for vacuuming non-flammable dry dusts, liquids (water, mineral drilling sludge) and non-hazardous materials. Never vacuum explosive, incandescent, acidic or solvent materials.

How to install the filter bag for dry vacuuming?

Open the clamps, lift the head, place a new filter bag in the tank, pressing the sleeve firmly onto the connection, then replace the head and close the clamps.

What to do if suction power decreases?

Check if the filter bag is full (replace it), if the flat pleated filter is clogged (clean or replace it), or if the hose or nozzle is blocked.

How to clean the filter automatically?

Plug in the device, ensure filter cleaning is activated (switch at bottom), turn on the device and close the hose for 5 to 10 seconds. The filter will be cleaned by a pulsating air blast.

Can I vacuum water with the VC 60-U?

Yes, but first remove the filter bag, disable the automatic filter cleaning and check that the level electrodes are clean. The device stops automatically when the max level is reached.

What are the electrical safety instructions?

Always use a grounded outlet, do not pull on the cable, check for damage, and do not use the device in a humid or explosive environment.

How to maintain the flat pleated filter?

Clean it regularly using the automatic cleaning function or with water (no high pressure). Replace it at least twice a year or more often in case of heavy use.

What to do if the device does not start?

Check that the tank is not full, that the fuse has not blown, and that the antistatic flanges are in good condition. If the problem persists, contact Hilti customer service.

How to transport the device safely?

Turn off the device, unplug it, empty the tank, engage the wheel brakes, and never transport it by crane or horizontally if it contains liquid.

Where can I find spare parts and accessories?

All parts and accessories (filters, bags, hoses, nozzles) are available from authorized Hilti distributors. Use only original parts to ensure safety and performance.

Disposing of drilling slurry

Disposing of drilling slurry directly into rivers, lakes or the sewerage system without suitable pretreatment presents environmental problems. Ask the local public authorities for information about current regulations. We recommend the following pretreatment:

1. Collect the drilling slurry (for example, using a wet-type vacuum cleaner).
2. Allow the drilling slurry to settle and dispose of the solid material at a construction waste disposal site (the addition of a flocculent may accelerate the separation process).
3. The remaining water (alkaline, pH value > 7) must be neutralized by the addition of an acidic neutralizing agent or diluted with a large volume of water before it is allowed to sewerage system.
