Brake Fluid Level Check; Reverse Gear Buzzer Operation Check; Tire Pressure Check; Suction Inlet And Skirt Height And Operation Check - Nilfisk Advance RS 500 Instructions D'utilisation

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK

1. Engage the parking brake (7, Fig. E).
2. Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (17, Fig.
D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove
it.
3. Open the right panel door (16, Fig. G) by releasing the
fasteners (17) with the supplied key.
4. Check that the fluid level inside the tank (15, Fig. F) is
between the minimum and maximum marks. If
necessary top up using the same type of fluid that is in
the line.
Type of fluid used: DOT4.
5. Close the right panel door (16, Fig. G) by engaging the
fasteners (17) with the supplied key.
REVERSE GEAR BUZZER OPERATION
CHECK
1. Check that, when the machine moves in reverse, the
relevant buzzer sounds.
If necessary, adjust the relevant sensor according to the
instructions in the Service Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE CHECK

1. Engage the parking brake (7, Fig. E).
2. Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (17, Fig.
D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove
it.
3. The tire pressure should be as follows:
– Front tires:
– Rear tires:
WARNING!
Please respect the recommended tire pressure
as stated in the relevant decals.
The manufacturer rating is based on standard
drive speed and standard load rating, different
from the actual machine application.
The higher tire pressure is by design and will
improves the performance of the machine.
SUCTION INLET AND SKIRT HEIGHT AND
OPERATION CHECK
Preliminary operations
1. Engage the parking brake (7, Fig. E).
2. Lift the suction inlet (10, Fig. G) according to the
procedure shown in the relevant paragraph.
3. Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (17, Fig.
D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove
it.
Suction inlet wheel check
4. Check that the three wheels (1, Fig. Z) of the suction inlet
are in good conditions and turn freely (they must not be
bent/misshapen because of bumps or excessive
pressure, etc.). Check also that the rubber thickness (2)
is not lower than some mm.
If necessary replace the wheels (1) (see the procedure
in the Service Manual).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Check that the main sliding panel (3, Fig. Z) and the front
sliding panels (4) and (5) are in good conditions and that
their thickness (6) is not lower than 0.2 in (5 mm),
otherwise replace them (see the procedure in the
Service Manual).
It is important to replace the sliding panels (3), (4), (5)
when they are not completely worn, to avoid damaging
the relevant mounting screws and making them difficult
to remove.
Replace the sliding panels (3), (4), (5) as a unit, to avoid
steps in the union areas (7), caused by different levels of
wear.
Check that the skirt (8, Fig. Z) is integral and that it does
not have excessive tears (10) or lacerations (11), which
can affect the suction inlet operation.
If necessary replace the skirt (8) (see the procedure in
the Service Manual).
Drive the machine on a level ground and lower the
suction inlet (10, Fig. G) according to the procedure
shown in the relevant paragraph.
Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (17, Fig.
D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove
it.
Check that the distance (11, Fig. Z) of the skirt from the
ground is not bigger than 0.39 in (1 cm). Greater
distances can affect the suction inlet operation.
If necessary replace the skirt (11) (see the procedure in
the Service Manual).
ground, the sliding panels (3), (4), (5) do not touch the
ground. Otherwise the wheels (1) must be replaced to
avoid an excessive wear of the sliding panels (see the
procedure in the Service Manual).
the relevant paragraph, then lift the skirt (8, Fig. Z) and
check that it lifts freely. Check that it lifts also when a
force of some Kg is applied (simulating to move bottles
or other heavy objects that must then be collected). If
necessary, adjust the opening force of the skirt (8)
according to the following procedure:
– Turn off the machine.
– Remove the screws and the right panel (20, Fig. E)
in the cab.
– Loosen the control valve locknut (1, Fig. Y) and turn
the screw (2) as necessary, reminding that:
– The opening force decreases by loosening the
screw;
– The opening force increases by tightening the screw.
– When the adjustment is completed, tighten the
locknut (1).
– Install the right panel (20, Fig. E) in the cab and
tighten the screws.
