Use only approved Nilfisk-Advance vacuum filters. Turn off and
unplug the machine before exchanging filters. The following is a
recommendedreplacementintervalforallofthefilters.Theseitems
should be replaced more often if you experience a loss of perfor-
mance.
Pre-filter – This filter should be replaced or vacuumed thoroughly
using a HEPA vacuum with every fifth change of paper bag or
whenever there is a visible collection of debris on the filter.
Main filter – This filter should be replaced with every fifth change
of the pre-filter or whenever there is a visible collection of debris
on the filter.
HEPA filter – Replace this filter at least every six months or more
often if a loss of vacuum continues after you have replaced all
other filters and the paper bag.
Motor Cooling Air Exhaust Filter - This filter should be replaced
with every fifth change of paper bag or whenever there is a visible
collection of debris on the filter.
Procedures for exchanging filters
Main filter- Open the filter cover by pressing the release button
and rotate the filter cover open. Remove the filter by pulling one
end of it out of the housing. Clean the sealing surfaces before
reinstallingthemainfilter.Installthefilterwiththe sealthatsurrounds
the filter edge facing upwards. Close the filter lid and press firmly
to lock the lid in place.
Pre-filter- Remove the main filter, as the pre-filter is located
beneath it. Make certain that the colored side of the filter is
positioned downward when installed.
HEPA filter- Open the filter cover by pressing the release button
and rotate the filter cover open. Remove the filter cover by pulling
one side of the filter cover upward/forward until it separates from
the motor housing. The HEPAfilter is attached to the filter cover by
two hooks, one at each side the plastic filter housing. Use a flat
screwdriver or similar tool, and push the outer section of the hooks
inward toward the filter until the hooks loosen from the filter cover.
Remove the filter from the cover. Clean the sealing surfaces before
reinstalling the HEPA filter. When installing the HEPA filter, always
push on the plastic housing of the filter, NEVER on the pleated
filter media. Damage will result to the filter and it will be ineffective
in filtering out substances. Position the filter into the filter cover
with the “HEPA” label facing outward. Making certain that the
bottom of the filter is correctly secured under the mounting lip at
the bottom of the filter lid, press the filter forward into the filter
cover until the hooks on each side of the filter housing snap in
place with the edges of the filter cover. If the filter is correctly
mounted, you will hear a noticeable “clicking” sound. Confirm that
the filter is secured under the mounting lip at the bottom of the
filter lid and that the filter is properly seated at the sealing surface.
Snap the filter cover back onto the hinge on the motor housing.
Close the filter lid and press firmly to lock the lid in place.
Motor Cooling Air Exhaust Filter- Remove the filter holder by
pressing the button on top of the holder. Grasp of the filter flap and
remove the filter from the filter holder. Insert the new filter, making
certain that the longest side of the filter is down and the flap is
facing toward the outside of the cleaner. Reinsert the filter holder
and snap it in place.
9 Draining the tank
When the water level in the tank reaches maximum the float valve
will shut off the air flow through the machine. You will then hear a
noticable change of the sound from the motor and notice that the
suction power decreases. When this occurs, switch the machine
off. Disconnect the machine from the power supply. Remove the
motor top according to earlier instruction (2). Always empty and
clean the tank after picking-up liquids. Allow all parts to dry
thoroughly before the motor top is reassembled.
a) Emptying in a draining gutter: Hold the tank by the carrying
handleandgrabtheemptyinggrip locatedonthebottomsideofthe
tank. Use the emptying grip to tilt the tank and empty it through the
spout.
b) Emptying in a toilet or wash-basiner etc: Lift the tank by the
handle. Let the bottom side of the spout rest on the edge. Use the
emptying grip to tilt the tank and empty it through the spout.
10 Float valve
The machine is equipped with a float valve that shuts of the air
flowthroughthemachinewhenthemaximumfluidlevelis reached.
The float system is placed at the lower edge of the motor top.
Clean the float valve when needed.
Cleaning of the smaller float system: Remove the motor top.
Open the lid on the float valve and remove the float body. Wipe
both the float valve and body with a damp cloth.
Reinstall the float body and close the lid.
Cleaning of the larger float system: Open the filter lid. Remove
the main filter and the pre-filter. Remove the rubber cover for the
screws. Use a TORX T 20 screwdriver and loosen the 4 screws
that ´s fastening the float basket to the motor top. Lift up the float
basket. Wipe both the float valve and body with a damp cloth.
Reinstall the float body and put back the pre filter and the main
filter. Close the lid.
Note! Never pick-up liquid without the float body in place in
the float. Always use a chemical defoamer when picking-up
water containing foaming detergents. Use a defoamer
recommended by the detergents manufacturer. To achieve
the best results with chemical defoamer, add the defomer
through the hose.
Inspect the filter cover sealing ring (part number 140 7249 000)
anytime the filter lid is opened to assure it is not damaged or
missing.
