Stop the device, remove the key. Pull the closing handle up, take out the bin, empty it (max. weight 40 kg), then replace it by pushing the handle.

How to clean the dust filter?

Pull the filter cleaner handle (tirant) located on the filter cover several times. This shakes the filter without washing it.

What is the procedure to replace the rotary brush?

Turn off the engine, remove the bin and batteries, tilt the device forward. Lift the large debris flap, push the pad and pivot the brush forward. Remove it and insert the new one respecting the drive.

How to adjust the sweeping track?

Run the brush on a dusty floor. The track should form a rectangle 30 to 40 mm wide. Open the cover and adjust the left and right levers in the holes (deeper = wider, higher = narrower).

Operation

⚠ Danger

Long hours of using the appliance can cause circulation problems in the hands on account of vibrations.

It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time, since this depends on several factors:

– Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies (cold, numb fingers). – Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect hands. – A firm grip impedes blood circulation. - Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted by pauses.

In case of regular, long-term operation of the device and in case of repeated occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fingers) please consult a physician.

Starting the machine

→ Release parking brake. Start the motor. → Turn the main switch to position "1". Note: The roller brush and the side brush will rotate.

Troubleshooting

Fault Remedy
Appliance cannot be started	The cover contact switch has switched off the device. Closing the cover
	Charge the batteries
	Check overload fuse
	Inform Kärcher Customer Service.
Engine is running but machine is not moving	Adjust the Bowden cable of the acceleration drive
	Checking the V-Belt
	Inform Kärcher Customer Service.
Device comes to halt while climbing a slope	Drive over a path with lesser slope
	Check overload fuse
	Adjust the Bowden cable of the acceleration drive
	Checking the V-Belt
	Inform Kärcher Customer Service.
The brush roller stops, fault display illuminates red	Turn the main switch to "OFF", check brush for obstructing objects. If applicable, use on a less inclined surface. Turn on the main switch. After repeating this process four times, the control will initiate a forced break of 2 minutes to cool off. During this period the appliance cannot be started.
Machine is not sweeping properly	Check roller brush and side brushes for wear, replace if necessary.
	Check function of bulk waste flap
	Release the Bowden cable of the bulk waste flap (adjustment screw)
	Check belts for tension and functioning; replace, if required
	Adjust roller mirror
	Replacing roller brush
	Inform Kärcher Customer Service.
Dust gathers in the machine Check	function of bulk waste flap
	Release the Bowden cable of the bulk waste flap (adjustment screw)
	Check dust filter, clean or replaceDo not rinse out the dust filter.
	Empty waste container
	Replace sealing profile at the waste container
	Check the seal on the dust filter
	Check sealing strips for wear, adjust or replace as required
Poor cleaning performance at edges	Adjust side-brush lowering
	Replace side brush
	Lower the side brushes
	Check the drive belt of the side brush
	Inform Kärcher Customer Service.
Side-brush raising does not function	Check Bowden cable of the side-brush raising
	Inform Kärcher Customer Service.
The new roller brush brushes against the waste container	Correct the setting of the sweep track; for this, engage both adjustment levers into the upper boring (1...3)

Troubleshooting

The sweeping machine operates on the principle of sweeping.

– The side broom (1) cleans corners and edges of the sweeping surface and pushes dirt into the path of the sweeping roller. – The rotating sweeping roller (2) pushes dirt directly into the dirt container (3). – Dust rising in the container is separated via the dust filter (4), and the filtered clean air is drawn in through the suction fan (5).
