5  Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques
If used correctly, additional ac-
cessories, suction nozzles and 
suction hoses can enhance the 
cleaning action and reduce the 
cleaning effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if 
you follow just a few guidelines 
in combination with your own 
practical experience in special 
fields.
Here are some basic tips.
5.1.1  Picking up dry 
substances
CAUTION:
Do not pick up flammable 
substances.
The suction hose diameter must 
suit the position of the switch in 
order to pick up dry, nonflam-
mable dust with maximum room 
concentration values.
There must always be a safety 
filter bag in the tank before dry 
substances with maximum room 
concentration values are picked 
up. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number.
To pick up harmless dust we 
recommend the use of a waste 
bag. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number. Dis-
posal of the picked up material 
is then simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the filter 
element is wet. A damp filter el-
ement clogs more quickly when 
dry substances are picked up. 
For this reason the filter element 
should be washed and dried or 
replaced by a dry element be-
fore dry substances are picked 
up.
5.1.2  Picking up liquids
CAUTION:
Do not pick up flammable 
substances.
Before liquids are picked up, al-
ways remove the filter bag/waste 
bag and check that the float (IVB 
3-H) or the water level limit (IVB 
5-H/7-H) works properly. (See 
section 7.2.3 and 7.2.4 “Replac-
ing the filter element“.)
The use of a separate filter ele-
ment or filter screen is recom-
mended.
If foam appears, stop work im-
mediately and empty the tank.
To reduce the amount of foam, 
use foam killer Nilfisk-Advance 
Foam Stop (see section 9.5 
„Optional Accessories“ for order 
number).
