Frequently Asked Questions - SW900 NILFISK

How to start the Nilfisk SW900 sweeper?
Insert the ignition key and turn it to "I". The main motor starts automatically. Then lower the side brushes using the levers and gradually pull the traction lever to move forward.
What is the capacity of the waste container?
The container has a capacity of 60 liters and can carry up to 30 kg of waste.
How to charge the batteries of the SW900?
After use, connect the battery charger cable to the power grid. The electronic charger manages the charge automatically. The LEDs on the dashboard indicate the status: green = charged, yellow = half charge, red = discharged.
Why doesn't the machine start?
Check that the waste container is correctly positioned, that the battery connector is plugged in, and that the charger is not connected to the mains. If the resettable fuse FA has tripped, wait for the motor to cool down then reset it.
How to clean the dust filter?
Remove the container, take out the filter, shake it over a clean surface. For deep cleaning, use compressed air (6 bar max) from the screen side. For polyester filters, washing with water is possible but reduces their lifespan.
How to adjust the height of the central brush?
Turn the key to "0", then adjust the adjustment handle (28): turn counterclockwise to increase the ground trace, clockwise to reduce it. The ideal trace is 2 to 4 cm.
What types of batteries to use?
The machine requires a 12V battery or two 6V batteries connected in series. WET (lead-acid) or GEL/AGM types are compatible. Configure the charger according to the installed type.
How to empty the waste container?
Stop the machine and remove the ignition key. Grasp the container handling handle and use the wheels to transport it to a collection center. Empty it, then replace it on the machine.
What to do in case of overload or fuse tripping?
The resettable fuses FA (70A), FB (5A), and FC (5A) may trip due to overheating. Wait for cooling then press the pushbutton to reset them. Blade fuses (F0, F1, F2) must be replaced if blown.
Can this machine pick up liquids?
The SW900 is designed for dry sweeping. However, if you need to work on wet floors, open the wet by-pass chute to protect the filter. Close it immediately when returning to dry floors.
