Nilfisk-Advance SS MERCURY VACUUM Bedienungsanleitung

Caution: This Nilfisk vacuum cleaner, or any other vacuum cleaner, is not to be used in explosion

hazardous areas as serious injury could result.

Your new Nilfisk SS Mercury Vacuum is a precision-engineered instrument designed expressly for the

capture of inorganic mercury spills and the pickup of mercury compound dust. Ordinary vacuum

cleaners do not have activated-carbon adsorbent filter cartridges for mercury vapors or HEPA* dust

filters. They cannot be used for picking up liquid spills or finely ground hazardous mercury compound

powders and dust. This Nilfisk machine is safe to use as a mercury droplet collector as long as

certain precautions are taken. It is safe to use as a hazardous dust collector as long as other

precautions are taken. Proper care of this cleaner is essential to the maintenance of its ultra-fine

filtering capabilities.

Attention Employer: Please ensure that these Instructions For Use are made available and

understood by your employees or any other person who may use this equipment.

Before Use: Do not attempt to operate this cleaner until you have installed its various components

according to the following instructions.

ASSEMBLY AND USE

1. Remove the upper two-thirds of the cleaner by releasing the clips

attaching the adsorbent filter cartridge to the lower container. Lift off

this upper part, taking care when setting it down again that the HEPA

pre-filter is not damaged or displaced.

2. Liquid Mercury Collection: Open a GORE-TEX

droplet collection bag (#017225-01) and slide the

metal retaining clamp (#017036-01) around the collar of the bag. Slide the opening, seam side

down, over the container’s plastic inlet tube (photo 1). To secure the bag, tighten the metal

retaining clamp around the inlet tube by pulling the ends together and screwing the clamp shut.

Mercury Dust and Other Dry Applications: Remove the inlet cap

(#017262-02). Pierce the paper bag’s perforation. Expand the paper

bag (#816200) carefully and place it in the lower container. With both

hands, pull the bag’s collar over the suction inlet (photo 2).

(The Gore-Tex bag can also be used for small dry applications.)

3. Replace the top two-thirds of the machine on the container bottom

and secure clips. Be sure that all silicone rubber seals are seated

properly to ensure that the seals are tight.

* HEPA – High Efficiency Particulate Air – Retains 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size.

Nilfisk SS Mercury Vacuum

Instructions for Use

4. Installing the Fixed Power Cord: At the rear of the motor, remove and

discard the screws in either side of the plug inlet. Slide the gray cord fixer

(illustration A) into the grooves on the power cord plug. Plug cord in and

fasten cord fixer with the screws provided.

5. Installing the optional HEPA Exhaust Filter: If the cleaner is to be used for

the recovery of hazardous or toxic dust in a controlled environment, the

HEPA exhaust filter must be installed (photo 3). On either side of the

motor are two large screws. Turn them 90 degrees either way to a

vertical position and push down on the center of the motor handle.

This will disengage the motor handle and motor diffuser. Replace them

with the exhaust filter and its longer exhaust filter handle, then turn the

screws 90 degrees back to their original horizontal position.

The exhaust filter is now properly mounted.

6. Attaching the Accessories: For liquid mercury spills, install the clear

Tygon hose (#017262). This hose features a tapered reinforced tip; no

nozzles are needed. For dust applications, a variety of optional

1-¼” diameter hoses, wands and nozzles is available. For added

security, the canister is equipped with positive twist safety latches

(photo 4).

7. To start and stop the motor, depress the gray switch on the front of

the motor.

CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT SPILLS BE ATTENDED TO

IMMEDIATELY. IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY BE

CLEANED UP CAREFULLY, THOROUGHLY AND SLOWLY.

EMPTYING

SINCE THIS VACUUM CLEANER IS USED TO COLLECT HAZARDOUS MERCURY LIQUID AND

DUST, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR EMPTY ITS CONTENTS WITHOUT PERSONAL

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.

1. The Tygon hose that is supplied with the Nilfisk SS Mercury Vacuum Cleaner has a smooth lining.

This smooth lining not withstanding, tiny mercury droplets may occasionally remain in the hose

after the spill has been picked up. It is therefore of extreme importance that THE HOSE END BE

RAISED UP TO A VERTICAL POSITION AND SHAKEN BEFORE THE MOTOR IS SWITCHED

OFF. The hose should then be sealed with the hose clamp provided.

2. Remove the upper two-thirds of the cleaner by releasing the container clamps attaching the

adsorbent filter cartridge to the lower container. Lift off this upper part, taking care when setting it

down that the HEPA pre-filter is not damaged or displaced.

3. Liquid Mercury Collection: To remove the Gore-Tex collection bag, loosen the bag clamp.

Carefully pull bag away from inlet tube, taking care to keep the bag in a VERTICAL POSITION so

as not to spill any of its contents. Liquid mercury can then be poured from the bag into another

container for reuse or disposal, and the bag can be saved for future use.

Mercury Dust and Dry Applications: Remove the paper bag by simply pulling the bag opening free

of the inlet tube, taking care not to squeeze or compress it. Dispose of the paper bag in a

sealable plastic bag. Then install a new paper bag according to “Assembly and Use”, Step 2.

4. Disposal: Depending on local regulations and the composition of the material you have collected,

there will be a requirement for special handling and labeling of the filled and sealed plastic bags.

Consult your local Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) and Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) officials for details.

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. Gore-Tex Collection Bag: After it is emptied, this bag can be replaced in the machine to be used

repeatedly for collecting liquid mercury.

2. Disposable Paper Bag: This should be replaced when approximately one-third (1/3) full and then

disposed of only in a sealed plastic bag. Do not attempt to reuse the disposable paper bag.

Specify Nilfisk part number 816200 when reordering.

3. Internal HEPA Filter: The glass fiber element in the internal filter

(#120155-00) should perform satisfactorily for a minimum of one year.

It cannot be renewed or restored. Exact life of the filter will depend upon

the frequency of use and amount and type of material collected.

NOTE: Cartridges must be replaced more frequently if the cleaner has

had unusually heavy use or if the vacuum cleaner has been operated

without a paper bag installed.

Remove the top one-third of the container and set it aside. Remove the

next section, turn it over and you will see a plastic HEPA filter cover

(photo 5). With a screwdriver, unscrew the four screws from the HEPA

cover. Remove the HEPA cover and set aside. Next, loosen and

remove the four screws from the two metal clamps securing the HEPA

filter (photo 6). Remove both metal clamps and carefully remove the

filter. Discard the filter in a sealable bag.

To install the new filter, insert the HEPA cartridge in the square cavity with the gasket side down.

Replace the two metal clamps and secure them with the four screws. NOTE: Make sure the

screws are well tightened to provide the necessary seal. Replace the plastic HEPA filter cover

and secure with the four screws. Reassemble container.

4. Mercury Vapor Adsorbent Cartridge: There are no visual means of

determining when this cartridge needs to be replaced (#017267-00).

For more information, please refer to the Special Notes section on

Page 4.

5. Microfilter: This small white felt sock, which fits over the motor bottom,

will require periodic inspection (photo 7). Dark colored dust will

discolor this white microfilter. Change the microfilter as soon as discoloration is easily noticeable.

Frequency of replacement will depend on the amount of use the cleaner gets. Do not shake these

microfilters since this can cause liberation of potentially harmful microscopic dust into the air.

Remove carefully and discard with collected debris in the sealable poly bag. Specify Nilfisk part

number 616821 when reordering.

6. HEPA Exhaust Filter: If the microfilter is properly maintained, the glass

fiber element in the exhaust filter should perform satisfactorily for at least

one year (photo 8). It cannot be renewed or restored by shaking. Locate

the large gray screws on either side of the motor top. Turn them 90

degrees either way to a vertical position and push down on the exhaust

filter handle. Once the exhaust filter is disengaged, remove the protective

aluminum casing by removing the four Phillips head screws in the housing.

(See pamphlet enclosed with filter cartridge for detailed replacement

instructions.) Replace the cartridge (Nilfisk part number 017276-XX) and

reassemble. Cartridges must be replaced if the cleaner has noticeably stronger suction with the

cartridge removed than with it in place.

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.

SPECIAL NOTES – IMPORTANT!

The oversize capacity of the Nilfisk mercury vapor adsorbent cartridge is designed to provide

extended filter protection against accidental discharge of mercury vapor during spill cleanup.

Although the activated-carbon is designed to have a service and/or shelf life of five years, the only

way to ensure that your activated-carbon filter still has useful capacity is to perform regular periodic

checks of the cleaner’s exhaust with a mercury detection device.

CAUTION: IN-LINE CLOCKS INDICATE ONLY MOTOR RUNNING TIME. THEY DO NOT

NECESSARILY INDICATE FILTER EXPOSURE TIME.

Mercury spills are seldom foreseen. As a precaution against large spills or difficulties in storing

recovered mercury, we recommend a supply of airtight droplet recovery bottles with lids

(#017257-02).
