2 Scope of the instruction manual This instruction manual is valid for the the following machine types: GB 1133 – U(L) GB 1133 – C(M,H) GB 1133 – S(M) - B1 GB 1133 – C(M,H) - B1 GB 1133 – C(M,H) - EOB/IS GB 1133 - K1(H) Meaning of the type name GB 1033 C(M,H) EOB - series - category of application (dust class) - machine type The machine type “industrial vacuum cleaner (IS)“ is left out. The machine type of cleaners that have passed the additional “Dust Explosion Protection Test“ is “B1“.
3 Tests All Nilfisk-Advance systems are tested in order to comply with the requirements of system safety regulations.
4 Categories of application This Nilfisk machine is suitable for removing dusts of the following categories of application: “U“ suitable for removing hazardous, dry, not inflammable dusts whose MAK* limiting value is greater than 1 mg/cm³ (comparable to the new dust class “L“ - light hazard - defined by EN 60335-2-69). “S“ suitable for removing hazardous, dry, not inflammable dusts whose MAK limiting value is greater than 0.
5 Technical specifications Voltage 400 V Rated power 13,000 W Vacuum 320 mbar Connection Ø 70/100 mm 750/930 m³/h Airflow Filter area Main filter (U,S,C) 52,000 cm² Prefilter (K1) 52,000 cm² Main filter (K1) 60,000 cm² Minimum airflow 300/580 m³/h-1 Protection class IP 54 Insulation class F Noise emission Sound pressure level measuring as described in DIN EN ISO 3744. According to the machine guideline Appendix 1, point 1.
6 General notice on safety Only original Nilfisk spare parts may be used. The machine may only be operated by instructed and authorised individuals. Liquids, aggressive gases, flammable materials or smouldering particles should not be removed. The machine may only be used for cleaning dry surfaces and is not suitable for outdoor use. The power cord should not be damaged by being driven over, squeezed, pulled tight or around sharp corners. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
7 Filters and emptying systems The installed main and exhaust filters are approved by the German Trade Association Institute for Safety at the Workplace (BIA). The transmission factors are lower than the limiting values required by relating regulations. The installed filters normally have a long service life. Exchange of filters should only be carried out by Nilfisk-Advance Service. Without the appropriate emptying system, the machine does not match the requirements specified by relating regulations.
8 Initial operation Please read these notes of safety before initial operating. The application scope of the machine is marked on the rating-plate. Industrial vacuum cleaners are exclusively designed for removing settled dusts. Extractors are designed for removing dust at that very place where it is produced. Having removed the system from packaging, check it for completeness and transportation damage. In case of damage or missing parts please contact NilfiskAdvance immediately.
9 Adjusting the automatic gear change of the minimum airflow Use the performance profile to adjust the cutoff point for the minimum airflow of extractors. First of all, find out the minimal airflow that ensures a good operation of the dust-producing system. Mark this value on the xaxis, then draw a vertical line from here to the curve. Now draw a line parallel to the x-axis from the point of intersection to the y-axis.
The works for configuring an extractor (connecting the cable, adjusting the cutoff point) may only be carried out by a technician or skilled personnel using suitable tools. When using the vacuum cleaner outdoors, use only a type H07RN-F cable. Connecting the cable must be carried out according to the manual added to the machine. Even when the extractor is switched off, the interlock circuit might still carry external voltage from the dust-producing system.
GB 1133 Performance profile
10 Monitoring the airflow All Nilfisk vacuum cleaners - except category of application “U“ are fitted with a manometer that allows you to monitor the minimum airflow in order to guarantee an optimal air speed within the suction hose. When you lift the floor nozzle into the air and the manometer’s pointer turns from the green into the red zone, the main filter needs to be cleaned or the dust bag is full and needs to be replaced.
11 Cleaning the filter Nilfisk-Advance systems are fitted with a device for cleaning the main filter. First of all, switch the machine off. Then move the shaker handle placed at the container vigorously with a push-pull movement. Extractors When the dust-producing system is shut down automatically, it needs to be switched off manually before cleaning the filter or replacing the dust bag. Otherwise, an hazardous situation could occur if after these works, the dust-producing system restarts automatically.
12 Emptying the container Industrial vacuum cleaners with antistatic design need to be emptied after every single use. First of all, switch the motor off. Wait a moment until the dust has settled down before you separate the dust collecting container from the upper part of the machine: Lower the container by using the lifting mechanism. Switch the motor on again in order to prevent dust falling down from the filter. Move the dust collector forwards. Replace the disposal system.
13 Disposal of collected dust Category of application: “U“ The are no particular prescriptions, but take care that no one around you will be affected by the dust. The disposal of the collected dust has to be carried out according to local prescriptions. Category of application: “S“ Type A: Dust bag system Art. 027 641 Having opened the system, remove the plastic bag’s edge carefully from the container’s edge that it is covering. Close the bag’s opening and take it out of the container.
Category of application: “C“ and “K1“ Type B: Disposable container Art.no. 031 101 When the container has been torn away from the machine, close it by the lid and fix the lid by the clamp ring. Type A: Dust bag system Art.no. 030 343 Leave the hose connected or close by shutter cap! Having opened the system, carefully remove the plastic bag which that is covering the container’s edge. Close the bag’s opening. Now remove the cornered back part of the bag’s flange carefully from the inlet.
14 Pre-separator The system can connect to secondary interceptor tanks for even greater waste capacity of 200 litres at a time. The lid fitting both sizes of pre-separators (125 and 200 litres) and the hose connection have to be ordered separately. The separator trolley runs on three wheels. A preseparator fitted with such a trolley can comfortably be transported by a forklift. The machine and the pre-separator can easily be connected by a special connector that makes their transport more comfortable.
15 Notice on K1 vacuum cleaners used for removing asbestos A vacuum cleaner that has been used for removing asbestos in a contaminated area may no longer be used in a non-contaminated area. An exception is possible when the vacuum cleaner has been decontaminated completely, that means not only the outside, but also the inside of the vacuum cleaner (cooling air passages, the installation space for electrical resources or the resources themselves).
