Safety VAC-200 & VAC-290
CAUTION: Standard EDCO machines are not to be used for the removal of liquids or any volatile, viscous,
fl
ammable or explosive media. If you are unsure about your application requirements consult your EDCO
representative.
CAUTION: Standard EDCO VAC machines are designed for intermittent use, i.e. not more then 2 hours continuously. If
you are unsure about your application requirements consult your EDCO representative.
CAUTION: A dust mask should be worn when working with used fi lters.
CAUTION: Disconnect the machine from the power source before and during inspection and/or maintenance.
CAUTION: Machines equipped with a reverse pulse module must always be supplied adequately when the machine is
on. The module is controlled by an electrical sequential timer (requires a 110 volt power supply) or differential pressure
switch. The module itself requires a source of compressed air of 90 PSI at 2-4 CFM (depending on module). This device
prevents the accumulation of material on the fi lter and therefore prevents the machine from being held under excessive
stresses due to material blockage.
CAUTION: Machines equipped with a motorized shaker must be supplied with a three phase, 230-460 volt (depending
on motor) power supply when ever the machine is on. The motorized shaker is controlled by an electrical sequential
timer (requires a 110 volt power supply), a differential pressure switch or a manual switch. Manual switch models should
be actuated before and after every use while the vacuum is off. This device prevents the accumulation of material on the
fi
lter and therefore prevents the machine from being held under excessive stresses due to material blockage.
Start-Up VAC-200
1. Pull up on the foot lever to release the dustpan. Check that the dustpan is completely empty then replace.
CAUTION: The electrical service at the installation site must supply the voltage stamped on the machine’s serial tag.
Most motors have multiple voltage capabilities that may appear on the motor serial tag but do not apply to the specifi c
machine. Operating at an incorrect voltage may damage the machine.
NOTE: A qualifi ed electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes should perform all
wiring and/or electrical adjustments during installation and servicing.
2. Connect the machine to the proper power source, as indicated on the machine’s serial tag.
3. Start the machine by pushing the power switches on the motors to the ON/closed position one at a time.
4. Turn the machine off by pushing the power switches on the motors to the OFF/open position.
5. The fi lter should be shaken and the dustpan emptied before and after every use.
NOTE: The following instructions are for models VAC-200 & VAC-290 except where noted. The instructions are very
similar but are different in several ways. Please pay special attention where differences are noted for models.
