DANGER
Danger that leads directly to serious or irreversible injuries,
or even death.
WARNING
Danger that can lead to serious injuries or even death.
CAUTION
Danger that can lead to minor injuries and damage.
The appliance must
• only be used by persons, who have been instructed in its correct
usage and explicitly commissioned with the task of operating it

Risks
DANGER
Electric shock due to faulty mains connecting lead.
Touching a faulty mains connecting lead can result in
serious or even fatal injuries.
1. Do not damage the mains power lead (e.g. by driving
over it, pulling or crushing it).
2. Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or
shows signs of ageing.
3. Have the faulty mains connecting lead replaced by your
Nilfisk-Advance service representative or a qualified
electrician prior to using the appliance again.
DANGER
The upper section of the vacuum cleaner contains live
components.
Contact with live components leads to serious or even fatal
injuries.
1. Never spray water on to the upper section of the vacuum
cleaner.
CAUTION
Damage due to unsuitable mains voltage.
The appliance can be damaged as a result of being connected
to an unsuitable mains voltage.
1. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corre-
sponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.
Electrical components
Picking up liquids CAUTION
Picking up liquids.
IVB 965-0L SD XC: Due to their construction vacuum cleaners
with a removable tank (SD) do not have an automatic level
indicator. There is a risk of damage to the vacuum cleaner
due to overfilling or of damage due to leakage of the picked
up liquid.

5 Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques If used correctly, additional accessories, suction nozzles and suc-
tion 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
CAUTION!
Do not pick up flammable substances.
Before picking up dry substances, always ensure that a filter bag is
inserted in the tank (see section "Accessories" for order number).
Disposal of the picked up material is then simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the filter element is wet. A damp filter ele-
ment 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 before dry substances are picked up.
5.1.2 Picking up liquids CAUTION!
Do not pick up flammable liquids.
Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag/disposal
bag.
The use of a separate filter element or filter screen is recommend-
ed.
If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank.
To reduce the amount of foam, use foam killer Alto Foam Stop (see
section "Accessories" for order number).

6.1 Switching the vacuum
cleaner off and storage
1. Switch off the cleaner and
pull the mains plug out of the
socket.
2. Wind up the power cord and
hang it on the handle (A).
Begin winding up the cord at
the cleaner end and not the
plug end to prevent the pow-
er cord from tangling up.
3. Empty the dirt tank and clean
the vacuum cleaner.
4. After picking up liquids: Store
the upper section of the vac-
uum cleaner separately so
that the filter element can
dry.
5. Hang the suction hose with
the floor nozzle (B) in the
brackets and pack the acces-
sories (C) away.
6. Store the cleaner in a dry
room where it is protected
from unauthorized use.
