Are there any Nilfisk/WAP agents in South Africa?

It appears for have hidden spindles holding the wheels so would involve full disassembly. No one has documented this before

By the looks of it, you start with the 2 screws in the bag access bay and then keep going. This is a job that should be done by a service centre.

The Parts Diagram shows all the relative parts and the wheels are held internally by one screw. Blow the PDF image up to 250%.

Absolutely, Nilfisk are a great maker. If they are clean and work, they will sell locally. They are 820 Euros new!, so figure on half to a third of that.

Hi there SmartAlec from NelsonVacuums.com.au here. I am a nilfisk vacuum agent and although i havent actually worked on one exactly the same as yours there are no Nilfisk with any kind of washable filters at all. I think you will have to replace it. If you are in Australia i can check out the cost of replacement filters for you just drop me an email with the exact model number.
Hope this helps.
Happy Vacuuming :)

Hi there SmartAlec from Nelsonvacuums.com.au here.It sounds like a blockage of some kind. The best way to find it is to set the machine up for normal vacuuming and remove one component at a time until the suction returns. eg turn on and feel suction under floor head - not good? then remove the rod, then the hose.
Once at the machine on its own it gets a little triky as i don't know which model you have. However if you have a bagged model remove all the filters and the bag and retest. There will be at least 2 filters, one before the motor and one after (maybe under the vacuum or right at the back). If it is a bagless model even though the filter may look clean it is probably blocked with very fine dust. If suction returns when the filter is removed then you need to buy a new filter. I am a nilfisk vacuum cleaner agent so i can supply a filter for you.
If this still doesnt help you are welcome to call me if you live in australia my contact details are on my website www.nelsonvacuums.com.au.
Hope this helps !.
Happy vacuuming :)
