always read
the operating
instructions and
keep them read-
ily available.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instruc-
tions that must
be observed to
prevent damage
to the vacuum cleaner and its
performance.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instruc-
tions that must
be observed to
prevent damage to persons.
This symbol in-
dicates tips and
instructions to
simplify work and to ensure safe
operation.
For your own safety 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.
Despite its simple handling the
vacuum cleaner is not suitable
for children.
The use of the vacuum cleaner
is subject to valid national regu-
lations. Besides the operating
instructions and the binding
accident prevention regulations
valid in the country of use, ob-
serve recognized regulations for
safety and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Purpose and intended use The vacuum cleaners described
in this operating manual are
suitable for
– commercial use, e.g. in
hotels, schools, hospitals,
factories, shops, offices and
rental businesses.
– for separation of dust with an
exposure limit of greater than
0,1 mg/m³, (dust class M).
The following materials should
not be picked up by the vacuum
cleaner:
– hot materials (burning ciga-
rettes, hot ash, etc.)
– flammable, explosive, ag-
gressive liquids (e.g. petrol,
solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.)
– flammable, explosive dust
(e.g. magnesium or alumini-
um dust, etc.)
When dust removers are used,
the rate at which air is ex-
changed in the room must be
adequate if the exhaust air from
the vacuum cleaner is blown into
the room (please observe regu-
lations valid in your country).
Before starting work, the operat-
ing staff must be informed on
– use of the vacuum cleaner
– risks associated with the ma-
terial to be picked up
– safe disposal of the picked
up material.

Precautions and safety regu-
lations when using the vacu-
um cleaner
Before start-up
Inspect power cord regularly
to detect signs of damage, e.g.
cracks or ageing.
If the power cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by Nilfisk
Advance Service or an electri-
cian to avoid danger before
use of the vacuum cleaner is
continued.
Use only the type of power
cord specified in the operating
manual.
Do not damage the power cord
(e.g. by moving over it or pulling
or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).
Inspect the vacuum cleaners to
ensure that they are in proper
condition. Plugs and couplings
in power cords must at least
have splash protection.
Never use the vacuum cleaner if
the filter element is damaged.
Picking up liquids
If foam develops or liquid
emerges, stop work immediately
and empty the dirt tank.
Regularly clean the built in float
(IVB 3-M) and level indicator
hose (IVB 5-M/7-M) to limit the
water level and check that they
are not damaged.
See section 5 for information on
handling liquids and (hazard-
ous) dust.
Electrical components
Check the rated voltage of the
vacuum cleaner before con-
necting it to the mains supply
system. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate cor-
responds to the voltage of the
local mains power supply.
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 should be con-
nected via a residual current
circuit breaker. This stops the
supply of electricity if the leak-
age current to earth exceeds 30
mA for 30 ms or it has an earth
tester circuit.
When using an extension lead,
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A <25 A
up to 20 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Arrange the electrical parts
(sockets, plugs and couplings)
and lay down the extension lead
so that the protection class is
maintained.
Never spray water on to the
upper section of the vacuum
cleaner. Danger for persons,
risk or short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the
IEC regulations.
Dust Class M (medium).
The dusts which belong
to this class are: dusts
with OEL values > 0.1 mg/m³ as
well as saw dust. The machine is
tested in its entirety by vacuums
for this dust class. The maximum
degree of permeability is 0.1%
and the disposal must be low
dust.

Tool socket
Maintenance, cleaning and re-
pair
Only carry out maintenance
work described in the operating
instructions.
Always pull out the mains plug
before cleaning and mainte-
nance of the vacuum cleaner.
During maintenance and clean-
ing, handle the vacuum cleaner
in such a manner that there is no
danger for maintenance staff or
other persons.
In the maintenance area
– use filtered compulsory ven-
tilation
– wear protective clothing
– clean the maintenance are
so that no harmful substanc-
es get into the surroundings.
Before removing the vacuum
cleaner from the area contami-
nated with harmful substances:
– clean the outside of the vac-
uum cleaner, wipe it clean or
pack the vacuum cleaner in
well sealed packaging
– and avoid spreading depos-
ited harmful dust.
During maintenance and repair
work all contaminated parts that
could not be cleaned satisfacto-
rily must be:
– packed in well sealed bags
– disposed of in a manner that
complies with valid regula-
tions for such waste remov-
al.
A dust test must be performed at
least once every year by Nilfisk
Advance service or a trained
person. This test includes, for
example, whether there is dam-
age to the filter, the vacuum
cleaner is sealed to the air and
the control equipment works
properly.
Accessories and spare parts Use only the brushes supplied
with the vacuum cleaner or
specified in the operating manu-
al. The use of other brushes can
adversely affect safety.

4.4 Acoustic warning For safety reasons, an acoustic
warning sounds if the air speed
in the suction hose drops to be-
low 20 m/s. See section “Trou-
bleshooting”.
4.5 Cleaning the filter
element (IVB 3-M)
Only after picking up harmless dust
using the waste bag.
If suction performance drops:
1. Set the suction power to
maximum.
2. Close the nozzles or suction
hose opening with the palm
of your hand.
3. Press the button to start filter
cleaning three times. The re-
sulting stream of air removes
attached dust from the slats
of the filter elements.
To ensure that suction perform-
ance is always at its best, the filter
element is automatically cleaned
during operation. We recommend
complete cleaning if the filter ele-
ment becomes extremely dirty.
After picking up harmless dust us-
ing the waste bag.
If the acoustic signal sounds again
after repeated cleaning, replace the
filter element (see section 7.2.5).
4.6 Cleaning the filter
element (IVB 5-M/7-M)
1. Switch off the vacuum clean-
er
2. Close the nozzles or suction
hose opening with the palm
of your hand.
3. Turn the switch to position „I“

5 Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques If used correctly, additional ac-
cessories, 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.
5.1.1 Picking up dry
substances
The suction hose diameter must
suit the position of the switch in
order to pick up dry, nonflam-
mable dust with maximum room
concentration values.
There must always be a safety
filter bag in the tank before dry
substances with maximum room
concentration values are picked
up. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number.
To pick up harmless dust we
recommend the use of a waste
bag. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number. Dis-
posal of the picked up material
is then simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the filter
element is wet. A damp filter el-
ement clogs more quickly when
dry substances are picked up.
For this reason the filter element
should be washed and dried or
replaced by a dry element be-
fore dry substances are picked
up.
Always use a filter bag/waste
bag that is suitable for the type
of dust (see table):
