Your new Nilfisk industrial vacuum cleaner is a precision-engineered instrument
designed for exceptionally fine filtration. Ordinary vacuum cleaners do not have HEPA
filters, and cannot be safely used for hazardous dust collection. This Nilfisk machine is
safe to use with fine powders or hazardous materials, as long as certain precautions are
taken. Proper care of this cleaner is essential to the maintenance of its ultrafine filtering
capabilities.

BEFORE USE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS CLEANER UNTIL YOU
HAVE INSTALLED ITS VARIOUS COMPONENTS ACCORDING TO THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:

any defective part or parts, or by replacing a part or parts provided that the equipment is
returned to an authorized Nilfisk service facility. In all cases freight both ways will be at
the expense of the customer. Equipment shall not be returned without advance notice to,
and consent of the Nilfisk companies.

EXC

EPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE NILFISK COMPANIES
MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AS TO ANY
MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY AND ALL
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, OR OTHER
WARRANTIES, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND
EXCLUDED. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PRODUCTION, LOSS OF TIME,
LOSS OF PROFITS OR OTHER SIMILAR INDIRECT LOSSES WHICH MIGHT
OCCUR AS A RESULT OF DEFECTS, PARTIAL OR TOTAL FAILURE OF THE
PRODUCT TO PERFORM AS SPECIFIED.

Correction of non-conformities or defects in the manner and for the period of time
provided above, shall constitute fulfillment of all liabilities of the Nilfisk companies to
the customer, whether based on contract, negligence or otherwise with respect to, or
arising out of such equipment. The remedies set forth herein are exclusive, and the

instruction booklet. Breaks in hoses and cables are not covered. This warranty is
rendered void if the motor number plate is removed or defaced or if repairs are
made or attempted by persons not authorized by the Nilfisk companies.

MACHINE SET-UP:

Before turning on the motor: Install the microfilter (#616821-Felt,
#017230-AES Polycomposite, #017220-01-Gore-Tex®), the small
felt sock, on the bottom of the motor by sliding the filter over the
motor bottom, and covering as much of the bottom as the depth of
the filter will permit (photo 1). Be sure the filter's elastic collar
holds the filter snugly in place and is as high up on the motor
bottom as possible.

2.

Ne

xt, mount the HEPA/ULPA filter (#01710440/01710440)
according to the accompanying bulletin. Place the motor back in
the cavity in the top of the cleaner (photo 2). Fasten the motor head
in place using either the positive twist safety la

tches or the

sta

ndard latches, depending on which option you purchased.

3. I

nstalling the Polyliner and Paper Bag: Unsnap the two positiv

e

twi

st safety latches, or the standard latches, depending on your
machine. They are located at the body of the container, front and
back. Lift off the top. Open the polyliner and place in the botto

m

of the c

ontainer with its walls flush against the container sides an

d

li

pped under the container inlet (photo 3). The excess length of
polyliner is draped over the top of the container and down the
outside then rolled at the end to permit the container clips to
cl

ose.

Ins

tall a paper bag inside the polyliner according to the
illustrations printed on the paper bag itself (photo 4). Replace the
top container and fasten the two clips.

4. T

he GM 810 and GM 811 offer a wide variety of hoses and accessories. Consult you

r

local Di

strict Sales Managers or Customer Service Department at (800)-NILFISK for

a

list

of optional hoses and accessories. No matter what hose option you have chosen, it ca

n

be

connected in the following manner. Affix the vacuum hose to the vacuum by insertin

g

it

into the orifice on the lower container. Once it is inserted, rotate the inlet co

upler a

q

uarter turn to lock it into place. Consult your District Manager or the Customer Service

Department if you have any problems attaching the accessories you have purchased.

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 you 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. Your filter may need to be shaken out 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 will not require
frequent replacement. The main filter must be replaced wh

en

the

cleaner no longer develops powerful suction, yet bags are

not full and other filter components are not clogged.

Extend

mai

n filter service life by frequent changes of disposable

polyliners and paper bags (photo 7).

2. Microfilter: This small aqua green (yellow if equipped with AES Polycompos

ite

m

icrofilter) felt sock, which fits over the motor bottom will require pe

riodic

inspec

tion. Dust will discolor the microfilter. Change the microfilter as soon as any

discoloration is easily noticeable. Do not shake this microfilter since this can caus

e

li

beration of potentially harmful microscopic dust into the air. Carefully remove an

d

To empty the container and its contents, first turn off the motor.
Allow the cleaner to sit undisturbed for at least thirty (30)
seconds. Then unsnap the container clips. Once the seal is
broken, turn on the motor again. This will prevent ultrafine
particles which are still suspended in the air inside the container
from escaping into the work place. Lift off the container top.
Remove the polyliner and paper bag within it (photo 6). Then
seal off the polyliner with the paper bag inside and install a new
polyliner and paper bag according to step 2, Machine Setup.

di

scard 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 (refer to photo 1).

3. HEPA or ULPA Exhaust Filter: This cartridge is moun

ted on

the

top of the motor, outside the container. If the main filter
and microfilter are properly maintained, the glass fiber
element in the exhaust filter should perform satisfactorily for a
minimum of one year. It cannot be renewed or restored. Exact
life will depend upon frequency of use and amount and ty

pe

of

material collected. Normally four changes of microfilte

r

equa

l one change of HEPA/ULPA filters. Remove

the

pr

otective metal casing and replace the pleated glass fibe

r

ca

rtridge according to the accompanying instructions (photo

8). Cartridges must be replaced more frequently if the cleane

r

has

had unusually heavy use, or if the various pre-filters have

been neglecte

d.

CAUTION: Use

only genuine Nilfisk replacement filter components. The use of
substitute components could pose a grave risk of personal exposure, and will cause all
equipment warranties to be void.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Loss of Power:

1. Make sure the power cord is properly fastened to the motor head, and it is

properly

pl

ugged into the sock

et.

2. Be

sure the electrical circuit has not blown a fuse

.

3. If the circuit is functioning properly, but there is still no power, contact our Customer

Servi

ce Department at [phone], extension 2.

Loss of Suction:

If the GM 80 loses suction power during operation, there may be several reasons,
the most likely of which is a full container. Suction loss is gradual as the container fills
with debris. Check to see if there is any blockage or restriction in the hose.

1) Check the condition of the main filter and microfilter (refer to photos) and determin

e

wh

ether there is an excessive loading of debris. If there is overloading in the main

filter, you can shake it out. If the problem exists with the microfilter, it needs to

be

re

placed. Call our Customer Service Department at [phone], extension 2 to

order a replacement

.

2) If al

l fails, call our Customer Service Department at [phone], extension 2.
