5 Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques
5.1.1 Picking up dry
substances
If used correctly, additional accessories, 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.
CAUTION!
Do not pick up flammable substances.
There must always be a safety filter bag in the tank before dry substances with maximum room concentration values are picked up.
See section"Accessories" for ordering number.
To pick up harmless dust we resommend the use of a waste bag. See
section "Accessories" for ordering number. Disposal of the picked up
material is then simple and hygenic.
After picking up liquidsm the filter element is wet. A damp filter element 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 before dry substances are picked up.
5.1.2 Picking up liquidsCAUTION!
Do not pick up flammable liquids.
Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag/disposal
bag.
The use of a seperate filter element or filter screen is recommended.
If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank.
To reduce the amount of foam, use foam killer Nilfisk-ALTO Foam
Stop (see section "Accessories" for order number).
