II. General Introduction

Locate the Spencer nameplate on the FastVac support stand.
Record the serial number and other data. Have this information
available when contacting your Spencer Representative or the
factory, to ensure prompt, accurate service.

Description
The FastVac unit is a powerful, integrated, continuous-duty
vacuum system consisting of a Spencer Vortex

regenerative

vacuum producer connected to a two-stage cartridge separator
with removable dirt can, all mounted on a heavy-duty steel
frame. Mobile units also have casters and a handle for easy
maneuvering.

Both stationary and mobile units are designed for use with
Spencer vacuum hoses and specialized cleaning tools for
effective dirt removal from all types of surfaces.

Safety Precautions

Caution: The FastVac unit must not be used for liquid pick-up
or for vacuuming volatile, viscous, flammable or explosive
materials. If such conditions exist, consult your Spencer
Representative for a special-purpose system.

The vacuum producer becomes hot during operation and
may cause burns if touched.

Do not operate the motor under load conditions which
exceed the rated full-load amps on the nameplate.

Do not install the FastVac unit in any area which may have
an explosive atmosphere or which may contain flammable

gases or liquids. Always provide proper ventilation. Do not
install in any area which may subject the unit to corrosive
liquids.

Before installing explosion-proof motors, check federal,
state and local codes to see if such motors are appropriate
for the intended application environment. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to determine the suitability of this product
for a particular purpose.

Stationary Model
The stationary FastVac unit is intended for permanent installa-
tion in one location, connected to a vacuum tubing system.
Since the motor starter is usually installed in a remote location,
it is not furnished but is available as an optional Spencer acces-
sory. Contact your Spencer Representative for details.

Vacuum tubing and fitting systems are available from Spencer
in carbon steel, zinc coated steel, aluminum and 304 stainless
steel. Inlet valves and other system accessories are also
available. Contact your Spencer Representative for a catalog
of these products.

Mobile Model
The mobile FastVac unit is self-contained and easily moved to
various points of use. It is equipped with a motor starter, 50’
power cord (plug not supplied) and vacuum inlet valve (one or
two depending on the model).
