The Hilti VC 140-2-22 is a professional-grade cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner designed for commercial use. Before initial operation, ensure the battery is fully charged and the filter is correctly installed. Always operate the vacuum with the filter element in place. For optimal performance, use Hilti Nuron B 22 series batteries.
Product overview
The vacuum consists of a suction head, waste material container, control switch, and intake fitting. Optional features include a backpack holder and Bluetooth module. The display and control panel allow for monitoring and operation.
Intended use
This product is designed for commercial applications, including construction sites, hotels, and hospitals. It is suitable for wet and dry cleaning. It is approved for the Hilti SafeSet application. Do not use for hazardous dusts exceeding the rated dust class, flammable liquids, or explosive materials.
Operation
Switching on and off
Turn the control switch to the ON position to start and OFF to stop. Use the ECO button to activate reduced suction power for longer battery runtime.
Filter cleaning
The vacuum features automatic filter cleaning, which activates upon startup. To perform manual bump-cleaning: close off the end of the hose, wait for maximum vacuum to build up, and press the filter cleaning button.
Vacuuming
For dry dust, ensure the correct dust bag is fitted. For liquids, check the container level monitoring system and ensure the filter is dry before use. Always empty the container after vacuuming liquids.
Maintenance
Filter replacement
To change the filter: set the switch to OFF, open the latches, remove the suction head, turn the filter latches 180°, remove the filter frame, and install a new filter. Ensure no debris falls into the turbine aperture.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use silicone-based cleaning agents. Regularly clean the air vents with a soft brush. Check the container level monitoring sensors for dirt and clean if necessary.
Troubleshooting
If suction performance is reduced, check if the container is full, the hose is blocked, or the filter is clogged. If the battery does not engage, clean the retaining lug. If the vacuum switches off automatically, the container may be full.
