3. Product Overview
The vhbw power cable is a durable and flexible replacement designed for specific vacuum cleaner models. It features a standard contour plug on one end and two crimp cable lugs on the other for internal connection to the vacuum cleaner.
4. Setup / Installation
Important: As stated in the safety information, installation of this power cable must be performed by a qualified electrician. Attempting to install the cable without proper electrical knowledge can result in serious injury or damage.
Installation Steps (for Qualified Electricians):
- Disconnect Power: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is completely disconnected from any power source.
- Access Internal Wiring: Open the vacuum cleaner's housing to access the internal power connection points where the old cable was attached.
- Remove Old Cable: Carefully disconnect and remove the existing power cable, noting the wiring configuration.
- Connect New Cable: Connect the two crimp cable lugs (4.8 x 0.5 mm each) of the new vhbw cable to the corresponding internal terminals of the vacuum cleaner. Ensure a secure and correct connection. No soldering is required for these connectors.
- Secure Cable: Route the new cable through the designated cable entry point and secure it to prevent strain or accidental disconnection.
- Reassemble: Carefully reassemble the vacuum cleaner's housing.
- Test: Once fully reassembled, plug the contour plug into a suitable power outlet and test the vacuum cleaner's functionality.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the vhbw power cable is correctly installed by a qualified electrician, operating your vacuum cleaner remains unchanged. Simply plug the cable's contour plug into a compatible wall socket and use your vacuum cleaner as intended by its manufacturer.
- Ensure the power outlet matches the voltage and current requirements of your vacuum cleaner.
- Utilize the 15-meter length to reach desired areas without overstretching the cable or using extension cords unnecessarily.
- Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable during use.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance extends the life of your power cable and ensures safe operation.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire length of the cable, especially near the plug and where it enters the vacuum cleaner, for any signs of wear, damage, or fraying.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the cable is dry before plugging it in.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Avoid tight coiling or wrapping it around sharp objects, which can stress the insulation and conductors.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not use the cable with appliances that exceed its maximum rated power of 4000 watts.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues after installing the vhbw power cable, consider the following:
- No Power:
- Check if the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket.
- Verify that the wall socket is functional by testing it with another appliance.
- Ensure the vacuum cleaner's power switch is in the 'ON' position.
- If the issue persists, there might be an internal wiring problem or a fault with the vacuum cleaner itself. Consult a qualified electrician or appliance repair technician.
- Intermittent Power:
- This could indicate a loose connection. Immediately disconnect the power and have a qualified electrician inspect the internal connections.
- Inspect the cable for any visible damage that might cause intermittent contact.
Do not attempt to repair the cable or internal wiring yourself if you are not a qualified electrician.
