Technical line drawing of a vehicle battery pack with multiple circuit breakers and wiring (no text or symbols)

Insert the batteries into the appliance. Connect the poles with the enclosed connecting cables.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage. Mind correct polarity.

Connect the connection cable to the free battery poles (+) and (-).

ATTENTION

The battery can be damaged by deep discharge. Charge the battery before commissioning the machine.

Charging battery

Note:

The appliance is equipped with a total discharge protection, i.e. if the still admissible minimum of the capacity is reached, only vacuuming and driving is possible.

Drive the machine directly to the charging station; avoid any steep gradients in the process. Remove the power plug of the appliance from the holder and connect it to the mains supply (model Bp Pack only). Average charging time is approx. 10 hours.

After charging

Remove the power plug from the charger and hook the holder into the appliance (model Bp Pack only).

Removing the batteries

Open the lock. Swivel the top of the appliance forward. Tilt the waste water tank backwards. Clamp off the minus pole of the battery. Clamp off the remaining cables from the battery. Remove the batteries. Dispose of the used batteries according to the local provisions.

Pushing the device

While standing, the device is protected against rolling off with the help of an electrical immobilising brake. To push the device, you need to first unlock the immobilising brake.

Press the unlocking lever down to unlock the parking brake.

DANGER

Risk of accident if the device rolls away. After completion of the pushing procedure, pull down the unlocking lever and thus reactivate the parking brake.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage. Do not push the device faster than 7 km/h.

Unloading

Note:

Take the foot off the accelerator pedal, press the emergency-stop button and turn the key switch to "0" to immediately deactivate all functions.

Remove the cardboard packaging towards the top of the appliance. Put the accompanying cardboard aside. Cut and remove the strap retainer.

Unscrew the squared timber and the roll-off ramps from the pallet. Screw down the roll-off ramps and squared timber as shown above. Remove the front wheel lock. Press the unlocking lever down to unlock the parking brake. Push the appliance forward off the pallet. Press the unlocking lever upward to unlock the parking brake.

Operation

WARNING

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.

Note:

Take the foot off the accelerator pedal, press the emergency-stop button and turn the key switch to "0" to immediately deactivate all functions.

→ Carry out maintenance jobs "Prior to operation" (see section "Maintenance and Care").

Check immobilizing brake

DANGER

Risk of accident. Prior to every operation, the parking brake must be checked for proper function on a level ground.

→ Set main switch to "0". → Press emergency-stop button.

If the appliance can be moved by hand, the parking brake is not engaged.

→ Pull up the reset lever of the parking break.

If the appliance can still be moved by hand, the parking break is defective. Shut down the appliance and call Customer Service.

Brakes

DANGER

Risk of accident. If the device does not have an adequate braking effect on an incline, press the emergency stop button:

Filling in detergents

Fresh water

→ Close the lid of the fresh water tank.

⚠ WARNING

Observe regulations of water supplier. According to applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water net without a system separator. A suitable system separator by KÄRCHER or alternatively a system separator according to EN 12729 type BA must be used. Water that was flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable.

△CAUTION

Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appliance!

→ Connect the hose to the automatic filling system and open the water supply (max. 60 °C, max. 5 bars).

→ Monitor the appliance - the automatic filling system will interrupt the water supply when the tank is full. → Shut off the water supply and disconnect the hose from the appliance.

or

→ Open the cover of the fresh water reservoir. → Fill in fresh water (maximum 60 °C). Leave sufficient space for the detergent. → Close the cover of the fresh water reservoir.

Note:

Fill up the fresh water tank completely prior to the initial start-up to bleed the water pipe system.

If the pipe system is empty, it can take up to 2 minutes until the detergent solution exits the cleaning head.

Detergent

⚠ WARNING

Risk of damage. Only use the recommended detergents. With other detergents, the operator bears the increased risk regarding the operational safety and danger of accident.

Only use detergents that are free from solvents, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Follow the safety instructions for using detergents.

Note:

Do not use highly foaming detergents.

Recommended detergents:
