1 Important safety instructions
For your own safety
Before using the vacuum
cleaner, always read the operating instructions and keep
them readily available.
Only allow the vacuum cleaner
to be used by persons who
have been trained in its use and
who have been explicitly authorized to use it.
General
The use of the vacuum cleaner
is subject to valid national
regulations.
The vacuum cleaner is suitable
for commercial use, e.g. in
hotels, schools, hospitals,
factories, shops, offices and
rental businesses.
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe
recognized regulations for
safety and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Hazardous dust
This vacuum cleaner is not
suitable for removing hazardous
dust.
Risk of fire and explosion
The following materials should
not be sucked into the vacuum
cleaner:
– hot materials (burning
cigarettes, hot ashes, etc.)
– flammable, explosive,
aggressive liquids (e.g.
petrol, solvents, acids,
alkalis, etc.)
4
ATTIX 8 GALLON
A TTIX 8 GALLON AS/E
– flammable, explosive dust
(e.g. magnesium or aluminium dust, etc.)
Appliance socket
Use the socket on the vacuum
cleaner for the purpose defined
in the operating instructions
only.
Before plugging an appliance
into the appliance socket:
1. Switch off the vacuum
cleaner
2. Switch off the appliance to
be connected.
CAUTION!
Follow the operating instructions and safety instructions for
appliances connected to the
appliance socket.
Before starting the vacuum
cleaner
Before starting the vacuum
cleaner, check that it is in
proper condition. Plugs and
couplings in power cords must
at least have splash protection.
Regularly check whether the
power cord is damaged or
shows signs of aging. Use the
vacuum cleaner only if the
power cord is intact (risk of
electrocution in case of damage).
Never use the vacuum cleaner
if the filter element is damaged.
CAUTION!
Before sucking in liquids,
remove the filter bag and check
the performance of the floater
(see section 7.2.3).
When sucking in liquids, always
use a filter element or filter
screen (for order number see
section 9.5 "Accessories").
If foam appears, stop work
immediately and empty the
tank.
Maintenance and repair
CAUTION!
Always pull out the mains
plug before cleaning and
servicing the vacuum cleaner.
Only carry out maintenance
work described in the operating
instructions.
CAUTION!
Use original Alto accessories
and parts only. The use of other
parts can adversely affect
safety.
CAUTION!
Do not make technical modifications to the vacuum cleaner.
They could endanger your
safety.
For further maintenance or
repair work and the replacement of a faulty power cord
please contact the Alto service
department or an authorized
Alto workshop.
Electrical connections
If you are using an extension
cord, use only those specified
by the manufacturer or higher
quality ones (see section 9.4
"Technical data").
It is recommended that the
vacuum cleaner is connected
via a residual current circuit
breaker. This device stops the
supply of electricity if the
leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has
an earth tester circuit.
When using an extension cord,
check the minimum crosssections of the cable:
Cable length Cross section
mmm
2
up to 20 1.5
20 to 50 2.5
Arrange the electrical parts
(sockets, plugs and couplings)
and lay down the extension
cord so that protection class is
maintained.
CAUTION!
Never spray water on to the
upper section of the vacuum
cleaner: danger for persons,
risk of short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the
IEC regulations.
english
During use
Do not damage the power cord
(e.g. by moving over it or pulling
or squeezing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).
Check the rated voltage of the
vacuum cleaner before connecting it to the mains supply
system. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage of
the local mains power supply.

5 Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques If used correctly, additional
accessories (pictures and order
nos., on fold-out page at front of
these operating instructions),
suction nozzles and suction
hoses can enhance the cleaning action and reduce the
cleaning effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if
you follow just a few guidelines
in combination with your own
practical experience in special
fields.
Here are some basic tips.
