Vacuum cleaner used for absestos

On vacuum cleaners with an accessory for the removal of 
asbestos dust the ABS container insert or the protective bag 
system must always be used. An exhaust connection must be 
attached to the side outlet, through which air can be 
exhausted from the working area. The exhaust hose can be 
directed to the open air or to a ventilation system installed in 
the working area.
The exhaust connection for the air outlet must be fitted with a 
70 mm PUR H hose with a length of < 5 m. This hose is 
contained in the Asbestos Kit, which can be supplied for the 
machine. As already mentioned, the hose can either be 
exhausted directly to the open air or to a ventilation system 
installed in the working area.

The disposal of the dust container must be entrusted to 
qualified personnel only, according to the instructions in the 
User Manual.
After using the vacuum cleaner for asbestos according to the 
TRGS 519, the vacuum cleaner cannot be used in the so 
called "white environment". The only allowed exception is that 
the vacuum cleaner has been previously decontaminated by 
a qualified technician according to TRGS 519 N.2.7 
regulation. (Decontamination includes: outer carter, interior 
components, such as cooling air ducts, electrical components 
compartments and the components themselves, etc.). The 
technician must fill in documents to certify that the 
decontamination procedure has been performed.

When transporting the machine you must make sure that it 
has been cleaned in accordance with the regulations 
stipulated in TRGS 519. The machine can also be transported 
in a sealed container from which no contaminated dust can 
escape.

The filters must be replaced only in proper places (for 
example in decontamination stations).
The filter replacement must be performed by qualified 
personnel only, according to the instructions in the User 
Manual. The filters must be replaced only in proper places (for 
example in decontamination stations).

Filter replacement

Make sure that the filter is covered with a suitable plastic bag 
before it is removed.
Remove the suction pipe “1” from the lower connection.
If the filter assembly is very heavy, remove the upper cover 
and lift the assembly from the machine using the two handles 
provided. Unscrew the clamp, which attaches the filter to the 
basket, and lift the basket from the filter. 
Rotate the filter and reveal the plastic strip “2”.
Place the filter in a plastic bag, cut the plastic strip and free 
the basket from the filter. 
Seal the plastic bag containing the filter.

If the filter is soiled by poisonous or otherwise dangerous dust 
do not throw it away. Hand it to an authority, which is 
authorised for the disposal of this type of waste.
Take particular care when replacing the main filter or the 
complete filter and wear a P3-type mask.

Obtain a filter with the same characteristics as the old filter 
and proceed as follows: (Fig. 17).
Fit the filter lock and the sealing ring of the old filter to the new 
filter.
Insert the cage “4” and secure the filter using the plastic strip 
“2” on the bottom of the filter.
Fit the filter rod in the filter shaking system and tighten the 
screw.
Fit the upper cover on the filter unit.
Re-insert the filter unit into the machine.
Re-attach the suction pipe “1” in its original position.
Fix the clamp, which holds the filter unit on the machine.

NOTE
If the machine is to be used for the suction 
removal of asbestos dust, either the ABS 
container or the protective bag system must be 
used. 

WARNING!
The collected dust must be transported into 
air-tight container and cannot be transferred 
into another container. Disposal of waste 
material containing asbestos must be 
performed according to the laws in force.
Maintenance and, if necessary, repairs and 
checks on industrial vacuum cleaners must be 
performed once per year by a qualified 
technician (qualified according to TRGS 519 
no. 5.4.3, Par. 2 regulation). Check results must 
be shown upon request.

ATTENTION!
The replacement of the filter is an important 
procedure.
The filter must be replaced by another filter 
with the same characteristics and the same 
filter surface and category. If these rules are 
not followed the vacuum cleaner may not 
function correctly.
