procedures and information given in this manual.
Never use compressed air to clean the machine or its
components.
Never open the waste container whilst the vacuum is
operating.
Before beginning electrical connection, check that the
voltage
and frequency values are those indicated on the data
plate of the machine.
Connect the machine to the electricity main with an
efficient ground circuit.
Only authorized personnel must be allowed to work on
the electrical part of the machine and this must always
be disconnected from the electricity main.
Never move the vacuum by pulling the power cable. This
may damage the vacuum itself and the operator may be
exposed to electric shocks
5 - Testing, delivery, installation
5.1 - Testing
The machine has been tested in our plant
in order to ensure that it operates correctly.
Tests on the suction values are carried out during this
phase.
This ensures that the vacuum has been optimised
according to the job for which it was designed.
5.2 - Delivery and handling
The machine is delivered, in a cardboard box.
When receiving the machine check for concealed
damage. If damage is discovered, immediately file a
complaint with the carrier.
The machine can be stored at temperatures between 0
and 50°C, and 65% relative humidity.
Before storage the machine must always be cleaned in
accordance with the instructions.
The machine can be operated in the temperature range
-5 to+ 50 °C and 65 % relative humidity.
The delivery packaging should be disposed of in
accordancewith the relevant statutory regulations.
Dispose of a machine, which is no longer usable, in

space all round in order to ensure freedom of movement
and make sure that the maintenance staff to operate
with ease.
5.5 - Connecting to the electricity main
Attention!!
Check that the voltage and frequency values of the
electricity main correspond to the values indicated on
the data plate described in paragraph 3.1 (data plate)
Specialised personnel must carry out all installation and
maintenance work on electrical parts.
Connect the equipment to an efficient earth.
Ensure that the electrical supply matches the machine
rating plate.
6 — Controls (Fig. 5)
1. On / Off button
2. Vacuum Gauge / Manometer (“H” class machine only)
7 — Starting and stopping
7.1 — Caution
Attention!!
Unauthorized personnel are forbidden to use the
vacuum.
7.2 — Starting / Stopping
Check that the machine has been effectively connected
to the electricity main. In particular, check that the
main voltage and frequency values correspond to those
indicated on the data plate. (see fig. 1)
Fit the accessories to the suction inlet. Use the stainless
steel clamp to fix the hose to the inlet.
Place the vacuum near the place of use, then lock the
wheels by pressing levers downwards.
The machine is switched ON or OFF by pressing the grey
button on the upper part of the motor.
8 — Using the vacuum (fig. 7)
8.1 — Correct use of the vacuum
Before using the machine, connect the suction pipe to
the inlet as indicated in paragraph 7.2.
Keep long suction pipes as straight as possible.
Do not allow them to bend or twist as this will cause
excessive wear and clogging.
When the vacuum is powered, suction is created at the
pipe inlet and this sucks in the waste material.
This waste material passes through the pipe and
accessories through the inlet “4” until it reaches
container “6”.
A Org. Nilfisk dustbag can be used in the standard
machine.
To release the container, unfasten the stainless steel
clamp and lift off the upper part with the motor/filter
section.
Fix the dust bag as follows:
Pierce the dust bag´s perforation and place it in the
lower container.
Pull the blue dust bag plastic plate over the suction inlet
with both hands.
Unfold the dust bag carefully. Replace the top container
and lock the stainless steel clamp.
Note
The suction efficiency depends on the size and quality
of the dust bag. Use original Nilfisk bags only. If non-
Nilfisk dust bags are used, and airflow restricted,
