GB 1033 - series C(M,H) - category of application (dust class) - machine type The machine type “industrial vacuum cleaner (IS)“ is left out. The machine type of cleaners that have passed the additional “Dust Explosion Protection Test“ is “B1“.
3 Tests All Nilfisk-Advance systems are tested in order to comply with the requirements of system safety regulations. They have fulfilled the technical safety demands according to the following special regulations: - Technical Dust Test - Mechanical and Electrical Test - Noise Technology Test DIN EN ISO 3744 - Additional Dust Explosion Protection Test...
This Nilfisk machine is suitable for removing dusts of the following categories of application: “U“ suitable for removing hazardous, dry, not inflammable dusts whose MAK* limiting value is greater than 1 mg/cm³ (comparable to the new dust class “L“ - light hazard - defined by EN 60335-2-69). “S“...
Voltage Rated power Vacuum Airflow Filter area Minimum airflow Protection class Insulation class Noise emission Sound pressure level measuring as described in DIN EN ISO 3744. According to the machine guideline Appendix 1, point 1.75 f, the highest sound pressure level is measured at 1 m distance from the machine at a height of 1.6 m. The highest value is reached on the right side (view down on the inlet): 5 Technical specifications Main filter (U,S,C)
6 General notice on safety Only original Nilfisk spare parts may be used. The machine may only be operated by instructed and authorised individuals. Liquids, aggressive gases, flammable materials or smouldering particles should not be removed. The machine may only be used for cleaning dry surfaces and is not suitable for outdoor use.
7 Filters and emptying systems The installed main and exhaust filters are approved by the German Trade Association Institute for Safety at the Workplace (BIA). The transmission factors are lower than the limiting values required by relating regulations. The installed filters normally have a long service life. Exchange of filters should only be carried out by Nilfisk-Advance Service.
Having removed the system from packaging, check it for completeness and transportation damage. In case of damage or missing parts please contact Nilfisk- Advance immediately. Before connecting the vacuum cleaner to the mains supply, check that the voltage of the machine specified on the rating-plate corresponds with the mains voltage.
9 Adjusting the automatic gear change of the minimum airflow Use the performance profile to adjust the cutoff point for the minimum airflow of extractors. First of all, find out the minimal airflow that ensures a good operation of the dust-producing system. Mark this value on the x- axis, then draw a vertical line from here to the curve.

When using the vacuum cleaner outdoors, use only a type H07RN-F cable. Connecting the cable must be carried out according to the manual added to the machine.
10 Monitoring the airflow All Nilfisk vacuum cleaners - except category of application “U“ - are fitted with a manometer that allows you to monitor the minimum airflow in order to guarantee an optimal air speed within the suction hose. When you lift the floor nozzle into the air and the manometer’s pointer turns from the green into the red zone, the main filter needs to be cleaned or the dust bag is full and needs to be replaced.
11 Cleaning the filter Nilfisk-Advance systems are fitted with a device for cleaning the main filter. First of all, switch the machine off. Then move the shaker handle placed at the container vigorously with a push-pull movement. Extractors When the dust-producing system is shut down automatically, it needs to be switched off manually before cleaning the filter or replacing the dust bag.
12 Emptying the container Industrial vacuum cleaners with antistatic design need to be emptied after every single use. First of all, switch the motor off. Wait a moment until the dust has settled down before you separate the dust collecting container from the upper part of the machine: Lower the container by using the lifting mechanism.
13 Disposal of collected dust Category of application: “U“ The are no particular prescriptions, but take care that no one around you will be affected by the dust. The disposal of the collected dust has to be carried out according to local prescriptions. Category of application: “S“...

Category of application: “C“ and “K1“ Type B: Disposable container When the container has been torn away from the machine, close it by the lid and fix the lid by the clamp ring. Type A: Dust bag system Leave the hose connected or close by shutter cap! Having opened the system, carefully remove the plastic bag which that is covering the container’s edge.
14 Pre-separator The system can connect to secondary interceptor tanks for even greater waste capacity of 200 litres at a time. The lid fitting both sizes of pre-separators (125 and 200 litres) and the hose connection have to be ordered separately. The separator trolley runs on three wheels.
Fixed filters may only be replaced by skilled personnel special areas (decontamination stations). For a dust-free transport, the vacuum cleaner has to be emptied, the shutter cap of the suction inlet has to be mounted, the exhaust outlets have to be closed (e.g. by adhesive tape) and the lifting mechanism has to be locked.
