READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATORS INSTRUCTION MANUAL THOROUGHLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Death or serious injury could occur if this machine is used improperly.
SAFETY
MESSAGES
• Safety Instructions are proceeded by a graphic alert symbol
of DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
SAFETY MESSAGES

Indicates hazards which, if not avoided, could
result in serious injury and or damage to the

GASOLINE/PROPANE POWERED EQUIPMENT
• Engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Gasoline is extremely ammable and poisonous.
It should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas,
and with a cool engine.
• Small gasoline engines produce high concentra tions of carbon monoxide (CO) example: a 5 HP 4 cycle
engine operation in an enclosed 100,000 cu. ft. area with
only one change of air per hour is capable of providing
deadly concentrations of CO in less than fteen minutes.
Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious
fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline or propane pow ered equipment should not be used in enclosed or partially
enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, head ache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and
loss of consciousness. If symptoms occur - get into fresh
air and seek medical attention immediately.
ELECTRICAL POWERED EQUIPMENT
Extreme care must be taken when operating electric
models with water present: Ensure power cord is properly grounded, is attached to a Ground-Fault-Interrupter
(GFI) outlet, and is undamaged.
Check all electrical cables - be sure connections are tight and
•
cable is continuous and in good condition. Be sure cable is
correctly rated for both the operating current and voltage of
this equipment.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
•
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with qualied electri-
cian or service person if there is any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Adhere to all local codes and
ordinances.
NOTE: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
•
provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to
dissipate. The motor is equipped with a grounded plug and
must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and
properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided on the
motor. If the plug does not t the outlet have a qualied electrician install the proper receptacle.
Switch motor OFF before disconnecting power.
•
Do not disconnect power by pulling cord. To disconnect, grasp
•
the plug, not the cord.
Unplug power cord at the machine when not in use and before
•
servicing.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Equipment should only be operated by trained personnel in
good physical condition and mental health (not fatigued). The
operator and maintenance personnel must be physically able
to handle the bulk weight and power of this equipment.
This is a one person tool. Maintain a safe operating distance
•
to other personnel. It is the operators’ responsibility to keep
other people (workers, pedestrians, bystanders, etc.) away
during operation. Block o the work area in all directions with
roping, safety netting, etc. for a safe distance. Failure to do so
may result in others being injured by ying debris or exposing
them to harmful dust and noise.
This equipment is intended for commercial use only.
•
• For the operator’s safety and the safety of others, always keep
all guards in place during operation.
Never let equipment run unattended.
•
• Personal Protection Equipment and proper safety attire must
be worn when operating this machinery. The operator must
wear approved safety equipment appropriate for the job such
as hard hat and safety shoes when conditions require. Hearing protection MUST be used (operational noise levels of this
equipment may exceed 85db). Eye protection MUST be worn
at all times.
Keep body parts and loose clothing away from moving
parts. Failure to do so could result in dismemberment
or death.
Do not modify the machine.
•
• Stop motor/engine when adjusting or servicing this equipment.
Maintain a safe operating distance from ammable
materials. Sparks from the cutting-action of this machine
can ignite ammable materials or vapors.
DUST WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints, and
• Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete and other
masonry products.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your risk:
work in a well ventilated area, use a dust control system, such
as an industrial-style vacuum, and wear approved personal
safety equipment, such as a dust/particle respirator designed
to lter out microscopic particles.

NOTE: The following instructions are for models VAC-200 & VAC-290 except where noted. The instructions are very
similar but are dierent in several ways. Please pay special attention where dierences are noted for models.
Safety VAC-200 & VAC-290
CAUTION: Standard EDCO machines are not to be used for the removal of liquids or any volatile, viscous,
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 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 dierential 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 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 dierential pressure switch or a manual switch. Manual switch models should
be actuated before and after every use while the vacuum is o. This device prevents the accumulation of material on the
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 specic
machine. Operating at an incorrect voltage may damage the machine.
NOTE: A qualied 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 o by pushing the power switches on the motors to the OFF/open position.
5. The lter should be shaken and the dustpan emptied before and after every use.
