Filter Replacement
· All used filters, bags, and debris must be treated as

dance with all federal, state, and local regulations.
· Use only approved Nilfisk-Advance vacuum filters and
bags.
· The following is a recommended replacement interval for
all of the filters and bag. These items should be replaced
more often if you experience a loss of performance.
· Disposable paper filter bags - When the bag is 2/3 full it
must be replaced. Excessive over filling of this bag makes
it difficult to remove from the cleaner and can result in
breakage and spills.
· Pre-filter - This filter should be replaced with every fifth
change of paper bag or whenever there is a visible col-
lection of debris on the filter.
· HEPA filter - Replace both filters at least every six months
or more often if a loss of vacuum continues after you have
replaced the pre-filter and the paper bag.
How to examine filters
· Filters collect and are contaminated with hazardous sub-
stances. The inspection and or replacement of any filter
must only be done with the use of personal protective
clothing, proper respiratory protection and in a controlled
environment.
· The HEPA filters cannot be cleaned. Periodically make
a visual inspection of each filter for a build-up of debris
or damage to the sealing surfaces. If any filter appears to
be clogged, damaged in any way, or has changed color
(should be white) which indicates excessive dirt build-up,
replace both with new filters making sure to install a new
pre-filter.
· If any visible dust particle emissions are observed in the
vacuum exhaust air stream, stop operations immediately.
If this occurs, the HEPA filters has ruptured or failed and
must be replaced.
