Vacuum Cleaner Parts and Labels

Figure 1

1. Identication plate which includes:

Model Code, Technical Specications (see table on page 7),

Serial no. CE Marking, Year of manufacture

2. Dust container

3. Dust container release lever

4. Inlet

5. Outlet

6. Attention plate

Draws the operator’s attention to the fact that the lter

must only be shaken when the vacuum cleaner is turned

off (see also par. “Primary lter shaker”).

7. Pneumatic system connection tting.

This vacuum cleaner creates a strong air ow which is drawn

in through the inlet (4- Fig. 1) and blown out through the

outlet (5- Fig. 1).

Before turning on the vacuum cleaner, t the vacuum hose

into the inlet and then t the required tool on to the end part

(refer to the manufacturer’s accessory catalogue or Service

Centre).

The diameters of the recommended hoses are given in the

technical specications table.

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a primary lter which

enables it to be used for the majority of applications.

Besides the primary lter, which retains the most common

types of dust, the vacuum cleaner can be tted with a HEPA

lter with a higher ltering capacity for ne dusts and dusts

that are hazardous to health.

VHC200 / VHC200EXP

03/2015 5C396

Unpacking, moving, use and storage

Operate on at, horizontal surfaces.

The load-bearing capacity of the surface the vacuum cleaner

is placed on must be suitable for bearing its weight).

Setting to work - connection to the

pneumatic system

WARNING!

■Make sure there is no evident sign of damage to

the vacuum cleaner before starting work.

■Make sure compressed air supply system is sized

properly to operate vacuum (see technical data).

■Only use 3/4” ID compressed airlines with

Chicago “twist-claw” ttings (Figure 13). DO NOT

use quick-disconnect airline ttings (these are

too restrictive).

WARNING!

When the vacuum cleaner is operating, do not:

■Crush, pull, damage or tread on the connecting

hose.

■Only replace the supply hose with one of the

same type as the original.

Supply pressure adjustment

WARNING!

If the setting procedure below is not followed properly

or if the knob is overturned in the maximum pressure

direction (clockwise) there is a risk of damage or

injury for the user.

1. Check that the supply pipeline is of an appropriate

diameter, i.e. not smaller than a nominal inner diameter

of 3/4”, to allow the proper performances of the vacuum

cleaner.

2. Connect the vac to the air supply and then open the On/

Off valve (1- Fig. 13).

3. Adjust the air supply pressure as follows:

a. Turn the pressure regulator knob in the minimum

pressure direction (counter-clockwise, see gure

13) until the end of the stroke is reached (regulator

closed)

a. Turn the air regulator knob in the maximum pressure

direction (clockwise, see gure 13), reaching the

desired pressure and check if it can be kept stable for

at least 3 minutes; push the knob to lock it;

a. If the clockwise end stroke is reached without

reaching the desired pressure, and point 1 and 2 are

fullled, target a lower supply pressure and repeat the

procedure from point a.

Tool and Attachments

Warning: The VHC200EXP is only intended for explosion-

proof/dust ignition-proof operation if it is equipped with the

proper conductive hose and tools. Any alteration to this

equipment by a third party will nullify its warranty.

For a complete list of tools and attachments, please contact

Nilsk.

C396 603/2015

VHC200 / VHC200EXP

Wet and dry applications

[ NOTE ]

The supplied lters and the bag (if applicable) must be

installed correctly.

WARNING!

Comply with the safety regulations governing the

materials for which the vacuum cleaner is used.

WARNING!

If the version for liquids is used:

■Make sure the liquid level mechanism is working

correctly before vacuuming liquids.

■If foam forms, turn off the vacuum cleaner

immediately and empty the container.

■Warning: Switch off the vacuum cleaner

immediately if foam or liquid leaks out.

■Regularly clean the liquid level limiting device

and check to make sure that there are no signs of

damage.

■Warning: Dirty liquid vacuumed up by the vacuum

cleaner must be considered conductive.

Maintenance and repairs

WARNING!

Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from its power

source before cleaning, servicing, replacing parts or

converting it to obtain another version/variant.

■Carry out only the maintenance operations

described in this manual.

■Use only original spare parts.

■Do not modify the vacuum cleaner in any way.

Failure to comply with these instructions could

jeopardize your safety. Moreover, such action would

immediately make the EC declaration of conformity

issued with the vacuum cleaner void.

WARNING!

Lock the castor brakes (1) before starting the vacuum

cleaner.

■ Open tap “1” (Fig. 4) to start vacuuming.

■ Close tap “1” to stop vacuuming.

Vacuum cleaner operation

WARNING!

The air speed in the suction tube must not be less

than 20 m/s.

WARNING!

Consult the “Troubleshooting” chapter if faults occur.

Inspections prior to starting

Figure 5

1. Inlet

Prior to starting, check that:

■ the lters are installed;

■all the levers are locked in place;

■ the vacuum hose and tools have been correctly tted to

the inlet (1- Fig. 5);

WARNING!

Do not use the device if the lter is faulty.

Under no circumstances may this vacuum cleaner be used

safely for the collection of hazardous or toxic materials unless

equipped with a HEPA lter. Be sure to install the HEPA lter

according to Nilsk’s written instructions. Do not use this

cleaner for the removal of hazardous substances unless you

are licensed and/or certied to work by all the authorities

having jurisdiction.

Ground Continuity Test (VHC200EXP only)

WARNING!

Test for continuity before each use.

The compressed airline with the VHC200EXP is impregnated

with carbon for the purpose of transferring static charge to an

earth ground source. Check to ensure that there is electrical

conductivity between the vacuum’s inlet and the hose tting

attached to the compressed airline (between items #4 and

#7 in Figure 1). The resistance of this grounding continuity

path should not exceed 0.1 ohm. If unacceptable results

are obtained during the continuity test DO NOT OPERATE

THE VACUUM. Using a continuity tester, check for continuity

between each connection of the vacuum cleaner. Contact

Nilsk’s technical department for troubleshooting advice if

continuity cannot be restored.

Note: This VHC200EXP vacuum must be connected to

an earth ground source. If the vacuum cleaner should

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical

shock. For added safety, an auxiliary grounding clamp has

been included with the machine.
