Installation, cleaning and replacement of the separator (optional)

Figure 11

[ NOTE ]

Instructions describing how to fit the optional kits and the relative operation and maintenance manuals are supplied together with the optional kits.

[ NOTE ]

If there is only a dust deposit on the separator (4) allow the dust to drop through the central hole.

The separator (4) should first be disassembled in order to be perfectly cleaned:

■ Release the stop (3) and unscrew the filter shaker knob (4), release the closing band (2) and remove the head (1).
■ Remove the filter.
■ Unscrew the two screws (5) and remove it from the container.
■ Replace the part if it is excessively worn.
■ Reinstall the separator (6).
■ Lock it and fix it by means of the two screws (5).
■ Reinstall the filter and the deck.

Tightness inspection

Hoses check

Figure 12

Make sure that connecting hoses (1) are in a good condition and correctly fixed.

If the hoses are damaged, broken or badly connected to the unions, they must be replaced.

When sticky materials are treated, check for possible clogging along the hose, in the inlet and on the baffle plate inside the filtering chamber.

To clean, scrape the inlet (2) from the outside to remove deposits.

Filtering chamber gasket check for machines equipped with dust container

Figure 13

If the gasket (1) between the container and the filtering chamber (3) fails to guarantee tightness:

■ Loosen the four screws (2) that lock the filtering chamber (3) against the machine structure.
■ Allow the filtering chamber (3) to lower down and tighten the screws (2) once it has reached the tightness position.

If an optimal seal is not yet obtained or if there are tears, cracks, etc., the gasket must be replaced.

Filtering chamber gasket check for machines equipped with Longopac® system

Figure 14

Ensure that the Longopac® bag is tight with the gasket (2).

Also check the seal of the gasket positioned on the discharge clapet (1).

The gasket must be replaced if it is torn, cut, etc...

Disposal

Figure 15

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the equipment indicates that used electrical and electronic equipment must be collected and disposed of separately from household waste. The correct disposal of the equipment will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.

Electrical and electronic household equipment must be disposed of at the separate collection points in the residence area. Please note that commercial electrical and electronic equipment should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream. We will be pleased to inform you about suitable disposal options.
