In this case, the following measures must be taken:
⇒ Stop working at all suction points of the affected extraction unit� This applies to the individual suction
channels of any multi-workbench extraction unit as well as to all suction points operated via a Y-junction
or via extractor switches�
⇒ Determinewhytheowrateistoolowandresolvetheissue.
Cause Measure
Suction level is too low. • Choose a higher suction level�
Dust bag is full. • Change the dust bag�
Changing the dust bag does not result in the expect-
ed improvement.
• Replacethenelter.

Blockage in the suction point (suction mouth). • Disconnect the suction hose at the suction point and
check whether there is a blockage in the suction point;
remove where appropriate�
Blockage in the suction line. • Check the suction line at all disconnection points / ser-
vice openings section by section for blockages�
Leakage in the section of the suction line between
