Nilfisk GAD and GAE 500 Watt Motor-Head Now Obsolete. Previously Used in Older GA Vacuum Cleaners

This fully serviceable motor, was for a long time, used in the Nilfisk and Tellus GA70 and the GA71 and the GA82 and the three motor Nilfisk GA73 vacuum cleaners.

The parts breakdown and catalogue is HERE

I strongly advise if stripping the motor down, for a successful replacement of parts, a Nilfisk Jig should be used.

SAFETY WARNING! All electrical parts should ONLY be fitted by an electrically COMPETENT person.

You can take the opportunity in all models, except the GS83 to upgrade, to the more powerful, Nilfisk and Tellus GMP motor heads 12112153

However, where the application is for use with fine dust, it's suggested the 800 Watt Nilfisk and Tellus GSP motor head 12108153 is used.

The reason for suggesting the use of a less powerful motor, would be because it will reduce the chance of the filters and dustbag to clog up, preventing the flow of air through the filter, leading to possibly overheating the motor. Hence, fine dust migrating through the filter into the motor would be reduced too.

For applications such as engraving, silk-screening, wood cutting etc, where a Nilfisk GSD (or GST or GSJ etc.) is integrated within a machine, they can be re-furbished here in Perth Western Australia as we have a supply of salvaged parts.

At the moment, as standard postage within Australia, is capped at a maximum of $35 maximise the saving on postage and buy some of the related parts below, such as dustbags and the filters or a new floor tool!
