UNCRATING
When the machine is delivered, carefully inspect the shipping carton and the
machine for damage. If damage is evident, save the shipping carton so that
it can be inspected by the carrier that delivered it. Contact the carrier
immediately to file a freight damage claim.
NOTE: The model "GW 1030AS" is not a production machine. This name is
used in reference to a GW 1030 which has had the optional Squeegee Kit PN
56209381 installed on it. Assembly instructions for this kit are included with
the kit itself. This manual covers operation instructions for a machine with this
option installed.
MACHINE ASSEMBLY
1
After uncrating, if your machine is a GW 1030 or GW 1030AS, loosen
the Handle Adjustment Knobs (12) and swing the Handle (7) upright
to a comfortable position.
2
If you have a GW 1020 or GW 1030 simply install the Hose Assembly

TO PICK UP WATER
1
If the machine has been used for dry pick-up, remove the Dry Pick-Up
Filter (A) and re-install the Float (B) (See Figure B, page 3).
2
Place the Power Head (2) on top of the Recovery Tank / Chassis (3)
and Latch (11) into place. Make sure that the Main Power Switch (1)
is in the OFF position, then plug the Power Cord (6) into a wall outlet.
3
If you have a GW 1030AS re-attach the Hose Adapter (13), Squeegee
(9) and the Recovery Hose (8). If you have a GW 1020 or GW 1030
install the Hose Assembly (14).
4
Connect the other end of the Recovery Hose (8 or 14) to the Squeegee
(9) or Wand and wet pick-up tool. Accessory hoses, wands and other
attachments are available from your local Nilfisk Dealer.
5
Turn the Main Power Switch (1) ON.
6
Release the Squeegee Raise/Lower Pedal (4) to lower the Squeegee
(9) to the floor. The Squeegee will pick up while moving forward or in
reverse. (This step applies to GW 1030AS only).
7
Add a defoamer chemical when picking up soapy water. To add
defoamer, first turn the Main Power Switch (1) OFF. Then remove the
Power Head (2) and pour the defoamer chemical into the Recovery
Tank / Chassis (3). See the manufacturer's recommendations for the
proper amount. Put the Power Head (2) back on the Recovery Tank
/ Chassis (3), Latch (11) into place and turn the Main Power Switch (1)
ON. Add defoamer each time the tank is emptied.
8
The Power Head (2) has an automatic float shutoff to block the vacuum
system when the tank is full. You can tell when the float closes by the
sudden change in the sound of the vacuum motor. When the float
closes, the tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water
with the float closed.
TO PICK UP DUST AND DIRT
1
If the machine has been used for wet pick-up, empty the Recovery
Tank / Chassis (3), rinse it out and dry it completely and install the Dry
Pick-Up Filter (See Figure B). To install the Dry Pick-Up Filter, first pull
the Float (B) (Figure B) off of the Power Head (2). The Float (B) is held
in place by rubber retainers and can be pulled off and pushed back on
easily. Push the Dry Pick-Up Filter (A) onto the vacuum motor housing
as shown in Figure B (the filter fits snugly over the vacuum motor
housing, friction fit).
NOTE: DO NOT use the machine for dry pick-up without the optional
Dry Pick-Up Filter (A) (Figure B) in place.
2
Re-install the Power Head (2) on top of the Recovery Tank / Chassis
(3) and Latch (11) into place.
3
Attach the Hose Assembly (14).
4
Connect the other end of the hose to a wand fitted with a dry pick-up
tool. Accessory hoses, wands and other attachments are available
from your local Nilfisk Dealer.
5
Plug the Power Cord (6) into a wall outlet and turn the Main Power
Switch (1) ON.
