Frequently Asked Questions - SC450 NILFISK

How to install the brush on the Nilfisk SC450?
Set switches (41) and (42) to 0. Lift the brush head (13) using the handle. Position the brush under the head, then lower the head. Press switch (41) then push buttons (47) to attach the brush to the hub.
What type of battery to use and how to configure the machine?
Use two 12 V batteries (WET or GEL/AGM). The machine is factory set for GEL. To switch to WET, open the dashboard and set the microswitch (D) to WET. Also configure the optional charger with selector (C).
How to adjust the solution flow?
Turn the adjustment lever (36). In ECO position, the flow is 0.4 L/min for a runtime of 90 min. In variable position, turn left to increase up to 1.6 L/min (runtime 40 min).
What to do if the motors do not start and the LEDs do not light up?
Check that the battery connector (8) is plugged in. If so, charge the batteries. If the problem persists, the brush/deck switch (41) or suction switch (42) may be defective; contact an authorized service.
How to clean and maintain the squeegee?
Unplug the machine. Remove the squeegee by loosening the knobs (22) and disconnect the hose (10). Wash it with water, check the condition of the blades. Replace worn blades by removing the tie rod (G) and retaining devices (M).
What is the procedure for emptying the tanks?
Set switches (41) and (42) to 0. Lift the squeegee with lever (7) and push the machine to the drain area. Lower the handle so that the rear wheel touches the ground. Use drain hoses (11) and (12) to empty the recovery water and solution. Then rinse with clean water.
How to charge the batteries?
Stop the machine (switches to 0). For WET batteries, remove the recovery tank, check the electrolyte level and leave caps open. Plug the external charger into connector (8) or, if an onboard charger is present, plug the cable (4) into the mains. Do not smoke and ventilate the room.
What to do in case of brush overload?
If the three LEDs (44, 45, 46) flash, the brush is overloaded (foreign object or brush too hard). Set switches (41) and (42) to 0 to reset. Clean the hub and use a brush suitable for the floor.
How to adjust the forward speed and straight-line tracking?
For speed, turn knob (25): counterclockwise to increase, clockwise to reduce. For straight-line tracking, adjust knob (24) by turning it one way or the other to correct the machine's deviation.
What are the important safety instructions?
Do not use the machine on slopes >2%. Do not wash the machine with a water jet. Disconnect the batteries before maintenance. Use only non-flammable liquid detergents. Keep children away. Wear gloves when handling detergents.

  2. With the handwheel (23), adjust the squeegee so that the rear blade - in all its length - touches the floor and the front blade is slightly detached from the floor.

Solution tank filling

NILFISK SC450 - Solution tank filling - 1

CAUTION!

Use only low-foam and non-flammable detergents, intended for automatic scrubber applications.

NILFISK SC450 - CAUTION! - 1

WARNING!

When using floor cleaning detergents, follow the instructions on the labels of the detergent bottles. To handle floor cleaning detergents, wear suitable gloves and protections.

  1. Use the filler neck (31) or the removable filler hose (40, optional) to fill the tank (15) with a solution suitable for the work to be performed. Do not fill the solution tank completely, leave few centimetres from the edge. Always follow the dilution instructions on the label of the chemical product used to prepare the solution. The solution temperature must not exceed 40 °C .

MACHINE START AND STOP

Starting the machine

  1. Prepare the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.
  2. Drive the machine to the working place by pushing it with the hands on the handlebar (2).
  3. Lower the squeegee (21) with the lever (7).
  4. Turn the solution flow control lever (36) to one of the following positions, according to the type of cleaning to be performed:

  5. ECO system: when the lever (36) is turned to ECO position (37), the machine works in a special condition of programmed water “economy” usage; as the water flow is set and constant, the machine can work with a washing autonomy of \~ 90 minutes (0.4 litres/min average).

  6. Variable system: when the lever is turned to the left (variable flow) the flow rate can increase up to 1.6 litres/min (when the tank is full), with an autonomy of \~ 40 minutes.

  7. Press the brush/pad-holder switch (41) and the vacuum system switch (42).

  8. Press the push-buttons (47) to enable the brush/pad-holder.
  9. Start cleaning, by moving the machine with the handlebar (2).

NILFISK SC450 - Starting the machine - 1

NOTE

If the green LED (44) turns on, the machine is ready to be used. If the yellow or red LED (45 or 46) turns on, the batteries must be charged (see the procedure in Maintenance chapter).

Stopping the machine

  1. Stop the machine and the brush/pad-holder by releasing the push-buttons (47).
  2. Turn off the brush/pad-holder and the vacuum system by pressing the switches (41) and (42).
  3. Lift the squeegee (21) with the lever (7).
  4. With the handlebar (2) slightly lower the machine until the rear wheel (6) comes into contact with the floor (parking position (27)).

MACHINE OPERATION (SCRUBBING/DRYING)

  1. Start the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.
  2. While keeping both hands on the handlebar (2), press the push-buttons (47), then manoeuvre the machine and start scrubbing/drying the floor.
  3. If necessary, stop the machine and adjust the squeegee balancing handwheel (23).
  4. If necessary, adjust the solution quantity by using the valve (36).

NILFISK SC450 - MACHINE OPERATION (SCRUBBING/DRYING) - 1

CAUTION!

To avoid any damage to the floor surface, turn off the brush/pad-holder when the machine stops in one place.

NILFISK SC450 - CAUTION! - 1

CAUTION!

Before lifting the brush/pad, turn it off by releasing the push-buttons (47).

NILFISK SC450 - CAUTION! - 1

NOTE

For correct scrubbing/drying of floors at the sides of the walls, Nilfisk suggests to go near the walls with the right side of the machine as shown in figure 4.

NILFISK SC450 - NOTE - 1

text_image A B

Figure 4

P100664

NILFISK SC450 - NOTE - 2

CAUTION!

In case of brush/pad-holder motor overload, due to foreign bodies which prevent them from turning, or to excessively aggressive floors/brushes, the safety system stops the brush/pad-holder after about one minute of continuous overload.

The overload is shown by the three LEDs (44, 45, 46) flashing simultaneously.

To start scrubbing again after a brush/pad-holder stop due to overload, stop the machine by turning the brush/pad-holder switch and the vacuum system switch (41 and 42) to "0". Turn on the machine by turning the brush/pad-holder switch and the vacuum system switch (41 and 42) to "I".

Battery discharge during operation

  1. Until the green LED (44) stays on, the batteries allow the machine to work normally. When the green LED (44) turns off and the yellow and red LED (45) and (46) turn on in sequence, it is necessary to charge the battery as the machine residual autonomy is at the minimum level.

NILFISK SC450 - Battery discharge during operation - 1

CAUTION!

Do not use the machine with discharged batteries, to avoid damaging the batteries and reducing the battery life.

Machine speed adjustment

  1. The machine speed varies according to the type of floor to be cleaned and the choice of using the brush or the pad. If necessary, stop the machine and turn the forward speed adjusting handwheel (25) as shown below:

  2. Turn it counter-clockwise to increase the forward speed;

  3. Turn it clockwise to decrease the forward speed.

Machine straight-forward drive

  1. If it is difficult to keep the machine moving straight-forwardly because it deviates to the left or to the right, adjust the handwheel (24) by turning it clockwise or counter-clockwise.

MACHINE TRANSPORT/PARKING

To transport/park the machine, proceed as follows.

  1. Turn the brush/pad-holder switch and the vacuum system switch (41 and 42) to "0".
  2. Lift the squeegee with the lever (7).
  3. Grab the handlebar (2) and slightly lower it until the brush lifts from the floor. While holding the machine in this position, drive it to the appointed parking area. Then lower the machine until the rear wheel (6) comes into contact with the floor (parking position (27)).
  4. When finishing working, remove the brush/pad-holder (see the procedure in Maintenance chapter).

TANK EMPTYING

An automatic float shut-off system (30) turns off the vacuum system when the recovery tank (16) is full.

The vacuum system deactivation is signalled by a sudden increase in the vacuum system motor noise frequency, and the floor is not dried.
