Safety Instructions
Preface
This repair manual contains a detailed description of the main repair work for wet and dry clea-
ners of the Nilfisk-ALTO Buddy andAero Series.
Repair work requires a suitable testing workplace with the necessary power supply.
If operating errors are evident, refer the customer to the operating instructions.
A fault in the equipment can have a number of causes. Chapter “C” Troubleshooting will help you
here.
Refer to the illustrated spare parts lists during repairs. They show the assembly position and the
sequence in which the individual components should be assembled.
Always observe “Technical Information” sheets! They contain information on technical modifica-
tions made after publication of this repair manual.
Technical Information sheets are also valid as a supplement to the spare part list until publication
of a new edition!
Repair manuals and technical information sheets should be available at the site where repairs
are carried out.
It is not permitted to give them to third parties.
Use original Nilfisk-ALTO spare parts only!
For your own safety!
Repairs should only be made by someone who
has received proper instructions for the job or
who is a qualified electrician.
After the repair or modification an electrical
examination is to be performed according to
DIN VDE 0701 / 0702.
Before using the cleaner, always read the
operating instructions and keep them rea-
dily available.
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.
Observe national safety directives and regulations
for the electrical engineering trade, in particular:
IEC 60335-2-69
EN 60335-2-69
DIN VDE 105 Part 1:
Operation of power Installation.
DIN VDE 0701/0702:
