AFTER USE
1
Lift the Operator Handle (6) until it locks in the upright position. NOTE:
The Safety Lock Button (2) will not depress unless the Operator
Handle (6) has been released and tilted back into the operating
position. This will prevent the motor from being engaged while
Operator Handle (6) is in the storage position.
2
Unplug the Power Cord (5) and wrap it around the Handle Release
Latch (4) and the right Operator Handle Grip (1).
3
Check the skirt around the dust control housing. The skirt should be
replaced if it is worn out or torn.
4
Remove the pad from the machine. Clean the pad and hang it up to
dry. Allow buffing pads to dry completely before using again.
5
Wipe the entire machine with a clean, damp cloth.
6
Inspect the entire machine and all accessories for damage. Perform
any required maintenance or repairs before storage.
7
Store the machine in a clean, dry place with the Operator Handle (6)
locked in the upright position.
MAINTENANCE
C - AIR FILTER
The air filter "A" on top of the motor should be cleaned at least once a week.
To clean the filter, slide the motor cover "B" forward and lift up and off. Pull
the filter off and wash with warm water and allow it to dry completely before
putting it back on the machine (or blow clean with compressed air).
D - DUST COLLECTION BAG
The dust collection bag should be removed and replaced after about every 20
hours of use. Tip the machine back onto it's handle (6), the same as you would
if you were changing the pad. Squeeze in on the sides of the bag cover "A"
and remove it from the machine. Remove the dust bag "B" (being careful not
to spill any debris) and discard. Tip the machine back upright. Push in on the
sides of the new bag "B" to pop-it-open and install it by pushing it down (grip
the cardboard base of the bag) onto the (2) tubes protruding from the base.
Re-install the cover "A".
MOTOR BRUSHES
This machine is equipped with a motor brush wear indicator light. If this light
comes on during use, contact your local Nilfisk-Advance distributor to have
the motor serviced.
NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
CAUTION!
The motor can be severely damaged if the machine is used for
an extended period of time with the light glowing.
