Liquefied gases (propellants) are bu- tane and propane or a mixture of butane/ propane. They are available in special cyl- inders. The operating pressure of these gases depends on the outside tempera- ture. DANGER Risk of explosion! – Do not handle liquified gas like petrol. Petrol evaporates slowly, liquified gas immediately turns into gas. The risk of gas spreading in the room and getting ignited is thus higher with liquid gas than with petrol. WARNING Risk of injury! – Use only liquid gas cylinders filled with power gas in accordance with DIN 51622 of A or B quality, depending on the ambient temperature. For the gas engine, use only liquid gas mixtures of propane/ butane or their mixtures where the mixing ratio lies be- tween 90/10 to 30/70. Because of the better cold start behaviour, liquid gas with a high propane proportion should be preferred with ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) as the vaporization already takes place with low tempera- tures. ATTENTION The use of household gas and camping gas is strictly prohibited. – All persons handling liquid gases are li- able to acquaint themselves with the special properties of the liquefied gases for hazard-free handling of operations. The current documentation is always to be kept with the sweeper. – Propellant-operated units are to be checked at regular intervals, at least

ce a year, by an expert against leaks (according to BGG 936) and ensure that the unit is functioning properly. – The inspection must be certified and documented. The inspection guidelines are § 33 and § 37 UVV (occupation ac- cident prevention regulations) "Use of liquid gas" (BGV D34). – General applicable regulations are the guidelines for inspecting vehicles whose engines are driven by liquefied gases of the Federal Transportation Minister. – Gas must always be drawn only from one cylinder. Drawing gas from multiple cylinders simultaneously can cause liq- uid gas from one cylinder flowing into the other. This causes the over-filled Safety instructions Safety instructions concerning the operation Safety information concerning the driving operation Appliances with high emptying system Machines with driver cabin Safety information concerning the combustion engine Safety guidelines for LPG vehicles (only gas engine) Liabilities of the factory management and the employee Maintenance by expert Commissioning/Operations 30 EN- 4 cylinder to be subjected to an unpermit- ted excess pressure when the cylinder valve is closed later (refer B.1 of these guidelines). – Ensure the correct positioning of the cylinder with the "top" marking while connecting a full cylinder (the connec- tion screw points vertically upward). Perform the replacement of the gas cylin- der carefully. During assembly and disas- sembly, the gas outlet nozzle of the cylin- der valve must be sealed by means of a cap nut that is tightened using a wrench. – Discontinue the use of leaky gas cylin- ders. Such cylinders are to be emptied by slowly letting out the gas in open spaces by conforming to all safety reg- ulations and are to be indicated as leaky. Also inform the issuing company or its representative (the filling-station attendant) in writing about the damage to the cylinder while delivering or re- ceiving the cylinders. – Before connecting the gas cylinder, check that its connection neck is in a proper state. – After connecting the cylinder, regularly check that it is not leaky by using a foaming agent. – Open the valves slowly. Do not use hammers to open and close the cylin- ders. – Use only dry fire extinguishers (with carbonic acid gas) in case of fire caused by liquefied gases. – The entire LPG unit must be continu- ously checked to ensure that there are no leaks and the unit is functioning properly. Using the vehicle with a leaky gas unit is strictly prohibited. – First close the cylinder valve before loosening the pipe or tube connection. Unscrew and loosen the connection nut of the gas cylinder slowly because oth- erwise the gas under pressure in the tube will flow out instantly. – If the gas is refilled from a larger tank, then ask the sales agent of the LPG about the important regulations to be followed. DANGER Risk of injury! – LPG in a liquid state can cause frost bites on bare skin. – After disconnecting the cylinder, tighten the closing nut firmly on the connecting threading of the cylinder. – Use soap water or some such foaming agent to check whether the cylinder is leaking. The use of open flames to illu- minate the LPG unit is strictly prohibit- ed. – Follow the manufacturer's installation specifications while changing individual parts of the LPG unit. Close all cylinder and locking valves while doing so. – Regularly check the status of the elec- trical unit of the LPG vehicles. Sparks can cause explosions if the gas-carry- ing parts of the unit are leaky. – If a LPG-driven vehicle has been idling for a long time, then first ventilate the setting room before commissioning the vehicle or its electrical unit. – Immediately inform the trade associa- tion and the concerned trade superviso- ry authority about accidents with gas cylinders or LPG units. Store the dam- aged parts carefully until all investiga- tions have been completed. – Propellants or LPG cylinders must al- ways be stored according to the regula- tions of TRF 1996 (Technical Regula- tions for Liquid Gases, refer DA to BGV D34 , Appendix 4). – Always store the gas cylinders in a ver- tical position. Use of open flames and smoking at the installation site of the cylinders and during repairs is strictly prohibited. Protect the stored cylinders against unauthorised access. Close all empty cylinders properly. – Close the cylinder and main locking valves immediately when you switch off the vehicle. – Follow the regulations for garages and the construction guidelines of the re- spective State about the location and structure of the parking areas for LPG- driven vehicles. – Gas cylinders are to be stored in sepa- rate rooms away from the parking areas (refer DA to BGV D34, Appendix 2). – The electrical hand-held lamps used in the rooms are to be equipped with closed, sealed case and a strong pro- tection cover. – Close all cylinder and main valves be- fore working in repair workshops and protect the gas cylinders against effect of external heat. – A responsible person must check that all valves, especially the cylinder valves, are closed during operational breaks and before closing the factory. Do not carry out any jobs involving fire - such as cutting and welding jobs - in the vicinity of the gas cylinders. Do not store gas cylinders, not even empty ones, in the workshops. – The parking and storage rooms and the repair workshops must be ventilated properly. Please note that liquefied gas- es are heavier than atmospheric air. They get collected on the floor, in re- cesses and other holes in the floors and form a gas-air mixture that can lead to explosions. – The engine is to be brought to a stand- still and the appliance is to be fastened properly during transportation. Close fuel cock. – First switch off the device and remove the KIK-key (Kärcher Intelligent Key) before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks on the device, re- placing parts or switching over to anoth- er function. – Always disconnect the battery when working on the electrics. – Do not clean the appliance with a water hose or high-pressure water jet (danger of short circuits or other damage). – Maintenance work may only be carried out by approved customer service out- lets or experts in this field who are famil- iar with the respective safety regula- tions. – Please observe the local safety regula- tions regarding portable commercially used appliances. – Always use appropriate gloves while working on the device. The sweeper operates using the overthrow principle. – The side brushes (3) clean the corners and edges of the surface, moving dirt and debris into the path of the roller brush. – The rotating roller brush (4) moves the dirt and debris directly into the waste container (5). – The dust raised in the container is sep- arated by the dust filter (2) and the fil- tered clean air is drawn off by the suc- tion fan (1). – The cleaning of the dust filter (2) takes place automatically.
