Push down the device holding the push handle and push it forwards up to the edge of the pallet. Lift the device off the pallet and set it on the floor. Check that the circular connectors and the screw connections of the battery poles are tight. If necessary, retighten the cables on the battery poles with a torque wrench: Screw M8: 18 Nm Screw M10: 23 Nm Note: The device is equipped with a safety mech- anism to prevent total discharge, i.e. when the permissible minimum capacity is reached, the brush motor and the turbine are switched off. Drive the machine directly to the charg- ing station; avoid any steep gradients in the process. DANGER Danger of injury due to electric shock. Ob- serve the mains voltage and fuse protec- tion on the type plate of the device. The charging time depends on the battery condition and the charger. When the battery is empty, the charging time is approximately: The appliance must not be used during the charging process. ATTENTION Risk of damage. Do not clean the device with water while the tank is removed. 1 Battery plug, appliance side 2 Battery plug, battery side Detach the battery plug on the unit side. ATTENTION Risk of damage! – Do not connect the charger with the battery plug on the unit side. – Only use a charger that is suitable for the installed battery type: Note: Please read the operating instruc- tions of the charger manufacturer, espe- cially the chapters on safety instructions! Connect the battery plug on the battery side with the charger. Plug the mains plug of the charger into a power outlet. Execute the charging process accord- ing to the information in the operating instructions of the charger. Disconnect the battery connector from the charger. Connect the battery plug on the device side with the battery plug on the battery side. Insert the vacuum bar into the vacuum bar suspension in su ch a manner that the profiled sheet is positioned above the suspension. Tighten the wing nuts. Insert the suction hose. DANGER Risk of injury! In dangerous situations, release the safety switch/drive lever. Open the lock of the fresh water reser- voir. Fill up fresh water (maximum 50 °C) un- til the lower edge of filling nozzle. Close the lock of the fresh water reser- voir. 몇 WARNING Risk of damage. Only use the recommended detergents. With other detergents, the opera- tor bears the increased risk regarding the op- erational safety and danger of accident. Only use detergents that are free from sol- vents, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Follow the safety instructions for using de- tergents. Note: Do not use highly foaming detergents.

Note: If the fresh water tank is empty, the cleaning head continues working without liquid supply. Adjust the water quantity using the reg- ulating button according to the dirt on the floor covering. Note: Carry out initial cleaning attempts with low water volume. Increase water volume step- by-step until the desired cleaning result is achieved. To improve the vacuuming result on tiled floors the vacuum bar can be turned to an oblique position of up to 5°. Loosen the wing nuts. Turn the vacuum bar. Tighten the wing screws. If the vacuum result is unsatisfactory the in- clination of the straight vacuum bar can be modified. Adjust the rotary handle to incline the suction bar. The bend of the suction lips upon contact with the floor is influenced with the height adjustment. Try adjusting the twist handles of the height adjustment until the best vacu- uming result is achieved. ATTENTION Risk of damage to the floor covering. Do not operate the appliance on the spot. Turn the program selection switch to the desired cleaning program. Pull the lever out and press it down; the vacuum bar is lowered. Note: – For cleaning tiled floors, adjust the straight suction bar in such a way that cleaning is not done at an angle of 90 degrees to the joints. – The inclined position and the inclination of the suction bar can be adjusted to achieve better suction results (see "Ad- justing the suction bar").

If the waste water tank is full, the float closes the suction opening and the suc- tion turbine runs at an increased speed. If this is the case, shut the vacuum off and drive to empty the waste water tank. Release the safety switch. Set the program selection switch to suc- tion or vacuuming. Briefly drive forward and suck of the re- maining water. Raise the vacuum bar. Charge battery, if required. 몇 WARNING Please observe the local provisions regard- ing the wastewater treatment. Take the water discharge hose from the support and lower above a suited col- lection device. Crush or bend the dosing equipment. Open the lid of the dosing equipment. Drain off the dirt water - regulate the water quantity by pressing or bending. Rinse the waste water tank with clear water. Unscrew the lock of the fresh water res- ervoir. DANGER Risk of injury! When loading or unloading the machine, it may only be operated on gradients up to the maximum value (see "Technical Specifications"). Drive slowly. 몇 CAUTION Risk of personal injury or damage! Mind the weight of the appliance during transport. Use the pushing handle to push the ap- pliance. When transporting in vehicles, secure the appliance according to the guide- lines from slipping and tipping over. 몇 CAUTION Risk of personal injury or damage!
