3.3 Push & Clean
The "PC" machine is equipped with a semiautomatic filter cleaning system, Push & Clean . The filter cleaning system must
be actuated when the suction performance starts to fade . Regular use of the filter cleaning feature maintains suction
performance and increases the lifetime of the filter . For instructions, see the quick reference guide .
3.4 AFC – Auto Filter Cleaning
The "AFC" machine is equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system, Auto Filter Cleaning . A frequent cleaning cycle
will automatically run during operation to ensure that suction performance is always at its best .
If suction performance decreases or in very dusty applications, a manual filter cleaning operation is recommended:
• Switch off the machine .
• Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your hand .
• Turn the switch to position "I" and let the machine operate at full speed for approx . 10 seconds with the suction hose
opening closed .
If suction power is still reduced take out the filter and clean it mechanically or replace the filter . For certain applications,
such as wet pick-up, it is recommended to turn off the Auto Filter Cleaning system . For details see chapter 3 .1 .
3.5 Antistatic connection
CAUTION
The machine is equipped with an antistatic system to discharge any static electricity that may develop during dust pick-up .
The antistatic system is located in the front part of the motor top and creates an earth ground connection to the
inlet fitting of the container . For correct operation, the use of an electrically conductive or antistatic suction hose is
recommended . When inserting the optional disposal bag make sure the antistatic connection is maintained .
3.6 Motor cooling filter
To protect the electronics and motor, the machine is equipped with a motor cooling filter . Clean the motor cooling filter
regularly .
For areas with a high concentration of fine dust in the surrounding air it is recommended to equip the machine with
