Vacuum Cleaner Nilfisk VHS 40 L40 LC FM IC
The Nilfisk VHS 40 L40 LC FM IC is a professional wet & dry vacuum cleaner engineered for demanding commercial and industrial cleaning. It runs on AC power (220–240 V) and features a robust build, a sealed dust system and enhanced suction performance. Designed to handle a variety of surfaces and work environments, this model integrates automatic and semi-automatic filter cleaning functions and supports advanced filtration options for improved air quality and long service intervals.
The vacuum cleaner combines InfiniClean™ automatic filter cleaning with a Push&Clean™ semi-automatic option to minimize performance loss and reduce maintenance frequency. It uses a PTFE long-life filter with a non-stick membrane that provides at least 99.9% filtration efficiency and meets dust class L requirements. A dual filter configuration with optional HEPA filtration is available for applications where higher filtration is needed. The unit is built with a robust container, steel castors and protective bumper for durability, and the MultiFit accessory system offers flexible task adaptability.
Connect the Nilfisk VHS 40 L40 LC FM IC to a suitable 220–240 V AC outlet and assemble the hose and appropriate MultiFit accessories for the task. For normal operation, ensure the filter and collection container are correctly fitted and the exhaust configuration matches the installed filters. The InfiniClean™ function runs automatically to maintain suction; use the Push&Clean™ control for additional semi-automatic cleaning when recommended by operating indicators. Empty the container and inspect or replace the long-life filter or optional HEPA element according to the maintenance schedule or when debris levels indicate.
Use appropriate accessories for wet or dry tasks and select HEPA filtration where airborne particulate containment is required. Follow local regulations and safety guidance for handling and disposing of collected dust and liquids. Perform regular visual inspections of seals, hoses and filters to preserve suction performance and prolong service life.
