• Provision of local filtered positive ventilation where the vacuum cleaner is to be dismantled
• Cleaning of the maintenance area
• Suitable personal protection equipment

Precautionary measures with vacuum cleaners class H and M

The outside of the vacuum cleaner should be cleaned by dust extraction procedures and wiped down, or should be treated with a sealing agent before being removed from the hazardous area. All parts of the vacuum cleaner must be considered to be contaminated when they are removed from the  hazardous area, and suitable handling must be used to prevent dust distribution.

Contaminated items

When carrying out maintenance or repair work, all contaminated items which have not been adequately cleaned, must be disposed of. Such items must be disposed of in impermeable bags in accordance with the applicable regulations concerning the disposal of such waste.

Testing the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaner

At least once a year, the manufacturer or an instructed person must perform a technical inspection including filters, air tightness of the vacuum cleaner, and control mechanisms.

In addition, the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaners with dust class H and H-asbestos must be checked at least once a year or more frequently. The test method, which can be used for demonstrating the effectiveness of the device, is defined in EN 60335-2-69 AA.22.201.2. If the test is not passed, it must be repeated with a new main filter.

There must be an adequate air exchange rate L in the room if the exhaust air returns to the room. Observe national regulations.
If the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is reduced and the cleaning of the filter cartridges is no longer sufficient (assuming that tank is emptied and fleece filter bag is replaced), it is necessary to replace the folded filter cartridges (see „8.1 Changing the folded filter cartridges“ on page 12).

Cleaning

Acids, acetone and solvents can damage parts of the vacuum cleaner.

▶ Clean container and accessories with water.
▶ Wipe the top section with a damp cloth.
▶ Allow the container and accessories to dry.

Repair

Improperly repaired vacuum cleaners pose a hazard for the user!

▶ Have repairs carried out by qualified personnel only, e.g. the customer service.

Troubleshooting and repair

Malfunctions cannot always be traced back to defects in the vacuum cleaner.

Do not try anything else, contact customer services.
