─※ OS (Oil stopper) : When the can becomes full of liquid, it stops suction.
※ FS (Filter set) : A fine particle and so on are prevented from being discharged with air.

PART NAME

BEFORE OPERATIONBEFORE OPERATION(1)PAIL:Prepare a pail which is less damaged, has no deformation at the rim, and also of thick wall. Especially, H type might be crushed due to highvacuum. Be sure to prepare an exclusive reinforced pail (HS19L) of thick wall or an equivalent.
(2)COMPRESSED AIR:
Use a compressor of more than 3HP for V300 / V300H. Use more than 5HP for V500 / V500H, and more than 10HP for V530W / V550W.
Be careful about the pressure drop in the case of combination use together with other machines. 4 〜 6kg/cm2 is the proper operation pressure.
If the pressure is high, the vacuum degree rises and the pail might be crushed.
(3)AIR HOSE:
Use the air hose of more than 3/8". If the air hose is thin, the pressure drops and lowers the performance.
(4)Quick-Connection Coupling:
Prepare NITTO Hi-cupla (female) #30SH.

HOW TO USE(1)Put the unit on a pail. Set the rim of the pail closely into the groove of the rubber of the unit. If the rim cannot be set closely, change the pail toa better one. When the rim is uneven or deformed, the performance is lowered.
(2)Shut off the air valve and connect the compressed air by a quick-connection coupling. Then , air begins to blow up out of the ejector and theobject can be sucked into the suction nozzle.

The suction nozzle has two kinds, the round and the square, which you can choose according to the place you use. The nozzle can beremoved by turning it clockwise towards the hose after holding the nozzle.

CAUTION ON USE
SYMBOL MARKS / SIGNAL WORDS AND ITS MEANING!

WARNING"COMPULSORY WARNING"
You have to practice by all means!

CAUTION"ATTENTION CALL"
You have to pay attention(1)Suction of the explosive material is possible because this is a cleaner using the compressed air. But , ground thecleaner without fail for in case.

!

WARNING(2)Although this cleaner is not suitable for suction of solvent / chemicals, pay enough attention to the ventilation of theroom in the case of suction of solvents and the like. Furthermore, consult with us in advance because the hose has to bechanged to a proper one.

(1)The temperature of the object to be sucked should be below 60℃ . When suction of the object of higher than 60℃ isneeded, consult with us in advance.

!

CAUTION(2)Pay attention to the direction of the ejector because the air-ejecting force out of the ejector is very strong.
(3)Also especially, be careful about that the sucked objects can be gushed when the pail becomes full.
(4)When the liquid is handled, use the oil stoper (option). When the powder is handled, use the filter set (option).

CHECKPOINTS ON TROULBE
TROUBLE CHECKPOINTSTREATMENT

Extremely Weak Suction or No Suction At All
Is the air fiercely being exhausted from the ejector nozzle of the cleaner?

No exhaust of air
Check the connection with the air compressor,
Cause The compressed air is not connected properly, or the air valve is not set to open (ON). and also set the air valve to open (ON).

When you lift up the cleaner with the handle while the compressed air is ON. Is the pale lifted
up together?
No.
The degree of vacuum does not rise due to the dent of the pail lid or the damage ofCause
the V-packing of the lid.
Is your palm sucked strongly when you put your palm on the suction nozzle?

Change the pail or the V-packing for a newone.

No.

Remove the clogging stuff. When the hose isdammaged, change it for a new one.

Cause The suction hose or the suction nozzle is clogged up, or the hose is dammaged.

Suction force is weak.
Isn't the diameter of air hose small?

Use the air hose of the bigger diameter than
∅ 9.5mm (3/8").

Isn't the inside of the suction hose, the suction nozzle or the cleaner itself being clogged up?

When being clogged up, remove the clogging
stuff. ※ To check the cleaner itself, remove the hose from the cleaner.

Isn't there any damage on the pail or in the hose?

If there is, change it for a new one.

Isn't the suction distance too long? Or, isn't the suction height high?

Change the work environment.

Isn't viscosity or specific gravity of the object to be sucked high?

When either of viscosity and specific gravity
is high, the suction time also becomes longproportionally.

Isn't the air supply pressure low?

The proper air supply pressure is 5 〜 6kg/cm2.

Isn't the compressor capacity small?

The proper capacity of air compressore is morethan 5HP.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES(1)Oil Stopper is used to suck the liquid. When the can becomes full, the float ball works to stop sucking.
(2)Filter Set is used to suck the powder.
(3)Ejecter Needle (S) is used to raise the vacuum degree. Although the vacuum degree rises approx. 50% higher than the ordinary operation,
this is only for liquid suction. But, in this case or in the case that the operation air pressure is high, use the exclusive pail of thick wall because
the pail is easy to be crushed.
(4)Silencer is used to lower the noise. (In the case of the air pressure 6kg/cm2, noise is lowered by approx. 15%. But, both the vacuum degree
and the suction volume are lowered by approx. 5% and 3% respectively.)

H2O/mm3The quick-connection coupling has a strainer
inside. If the strainer is clogged up with refuse,
the performance is lowered. To prevent it,
wash the strainer sometimes. When washingit, wash it as it is without pulling out thestrainer from the plug.
