Product Description
- This light- weight, rugged 5.5 gallon pneumatic vacuum runs on standard shop compressed air and mounts on any vertical surface, thus saving floor space.
- TOPRING’s Safety Cleaning Unit has no electrical motor to burn out, generates no sparks, and has no power cords to trip over.
- Maintenance is low and it’s engineered for wet/dry applications with a liquid shut-off and canister drain.
- Emptying the polyethylene canister is quick and easy and the cartridge filter is simple to replace
For your safety
- Make sure all compressed air connections to the compressed air supply are secure and the air line is turned off at the nearest valve.
- Disconnect compressed air connections only after the compressed air supply has been turned off and the air line had been vented by opening the valve on the vacuum head. NEVER disconnect a pressurized compressedair line.
Installation
Compressed Air Supply
- Adequate compressed air supply is essential to the proper performance of the Safety Cleaning Unit.
- Compressed air requirements include a 3/8” ID air line equipped with a 3/8” (F) NPT compatible connector.
NOTE: These requirements are for compressed air volume, not pressure. The recommended operating pressure is 80 to 120 PSI, although the unit will operate at lower pressures with a corresponding reduction in performance.
Mounting the Unit
- Mount the mounting plate as close as possible to the work area.
- Hang the unit on the plate and ensure the vacuum head is securely on the collection canister.
- Lock both clamps to ensure a secure attachment.
Mounting Options
- TOPRING’s Safety Cleaning Unit hangs on the mounting plate by two steel knobs (fig. 1).
Figure 1- Rubber bumpers (included) space the plate away from the mounting surface so that the steel knobs can reach through and slide into the two slots (fig. 2).
Figure 2 - The rubber bumpers can be screwed onto the mounting plate to any desired location (fig. 3).
Figure 3 - As seen in (figure 4), holes are usually in pairs, allowing fasteners to be placed close to a bumper.
- Though not necessary, this practice will keep the mounting plate flat.
- The thickness of the mounting plate plus the bumper is 5/8”.
Hose Connection
- Trim the vacuum hose as necessary with a knife or saw blade.
- Reattach the hose cuff.
Operation
Dry and Wet Pickup
- For dry pickup, install the cartridge filter.
- For wet pickup, the filter must be removed.
- To do so, loosen the wing nut holding it in place.
- Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum inlet and the other end to the crevice tool.
- Once the compressed air connections are made, operate by turning on the compressed air supply and opening the shut-off valve on the vacuum head.
Emptying the Collection Canister
Emptying Dry Debris
- Turn the shut-off valve to the off position.
- Disconnect the air line.
- Remove the unit from the mounting plate and place it on a flat surface.
- Unfasten and remove the vacuum head.
- Empty the debris.
Emptying Liquids
- Loosen the drain valve and pour the liquid into another container.
WARNING: Do not loosen the latches and remove the canister while the unit is mounted on the plate.
Maintenance
TOPRING’s Safety Cleaning Unit is rugged and practically maintenance-free, but certain elements should be checked regularly:- Cartridge Filter (66.205): Clean or replace when dirty.
- Gasket (66.207): Check periodically and replace if worn or damaged.
- Exhaust Bag (66.209):
- Provides added filter protection and serves as a muffler.
- Clean or replace if ripped or damaged.
These replacement parts are available through TOPRING distributors. See the "Replacement Parts" section on the TOPRING product page.
Warning
- Always wear eye and ear protection when operating air tools and related equipment.
- Fire/Explosion Danger
- TOPRING vacuums, like all other electric and pneumatic vacuums, can potentially generate static electric charges.
- The use of static conductive hoses in conjunction with TOPRING vacuums is intended to control and eliminate static electric shocks only for vacuum operators.
- TOPRING vacuums are NOT APPROVED for use in hazardous (classified) locations, such as those defined by NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code):
- Class I: Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors (includes all Class I Divisions and IEC Zones).
- Class II: Combustible dust (includes all Class II Divisions and IEC Zones).
- Class III: Ignitable fibers and flyings (includes all Class III Divisions and IEC Zones).
