DISPOSAL:
Depending on local regulations, and the composition of the material you have collected,
there can be a requirement for special handling and labeling of the filled and sealed
plastic bags. Consult your local Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official for details.
MAINTENANCE
Routine Maintenance:
To ensure maximum performance of your Nilfisk vacuum cleaner, be sure to check your
main filter regularly, possibly each time you change the paper bag. Your filter may need
to be shaken to remove caked dust from time to time.
Filter Replacement:
To ensure that your Nilfisk vacuum cleaner delivers the years of trouble-free operation
for which it was designed, it is necessary to check and replace filters regularly.

1. Main Filter: The large napped cotton bag which is semi-
permanently mounted inside the container (photo 5) will not
require frequent replacement. The main filter must be
replaced when the cleaner no longer develops powerful
suction, yet bags are not full and other filter components are
not clogged. Extend main filter service life by frequent
changes of disposable polyliners and paper bags.
2. Microfilter: This small polyester sock (photo 6), which fits
over the motor bottom will require periodic inspection. Dust
will discolor the microfilter. Change the microfilter as soon
as any discoloration is easily noticeable. Do not shake this
microfilter since this can cause liberation of potentially
harmful microscopic dust into the air. Carefully remove and
discard with collected debris in the sealable poly bag. If
equipped with a Gore-Tex microfilter, the same rules for
periodic inspection and disposal apply. The Gore-Tex
microfilter must be changed when any abrasions, damage or
heavy discoloration is noticed on the surface of the filter.
The Gore-Tex microfilter is held in place by a clamp on the
vacuum.
