IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This appliance is designed for commercial use only!

Accidents due to misuse can only be prevented by those using the machine.

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:

Read and follow all safety instructions.

WARNING:

Electric shock could occur if used outdoors or on wet surfaces.

The vacuum cleaner is designed to be safe when used to perform cleaning functions. Should damage occur to electrical or mechanical parts, cleaner should be repaired by a competent service center before using in order to avoid further damage to machine or physical injury to user.

Observe the following precautions:

Do not run cleaner over power cord of other appliances.

Do not drop battery

Batteries with damaged housing are suspicious and may not be used any longer. Replace them ASAP.

Your vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving brush. To avoid bodily injury from suction or moving parts, vacuum cleaner brush should not be placed against, or in close proximity of loose clothing, jewelry, hair or body surfaces while using the vacuum cleaner. The cleaner should not be used to vacuum clothing while it is being worn. Keep children away from machine when in operation.

If used on plush carpet or carpet with thick padding, turn off unit when handle is in upright position.

Do not use your vacuum cleaner in areas where flammable and/or explosive vapor or dust is present to avoid possibility of fire or explosion. Some cleaning fluids can produce such vapors. Areas on which cleaning fluids have been used should be completely dry and thoroughly aired before being vacuumed.

To avoid fire hazard, do not pick up matches, fireplace ashes, or smoking material with cleaner.

Keep your work area well lighted to avoid picking up harmful materials (such as liquids, sharp objects, or burning substances) and avoid tripping accidents.

Use care when operating the cleaner on irregular surfaces such as stairs, as falling cleaner could cause bodily injury and/or mechanical damage. Proper storage of machine in an out-of-way area immediately after use will also prevent accidents caused by tripping over cleaner.

Store your vacuum indoors in a cool, dry area not exposed to the weather to avoid electrical shock and/or cleaner damage.

Exercise strict supervision to prevent injury when using vacuum cleaner near children or when a child is allowed to operate vacuum cleaner. Do not allow children to play with vacuum cleaner and never leave cleaner unattended with battery installed.

Assembly

The handle assembly (14) has to be inserted into the guide (15) of the filter bag housing and will be secured with the two remaining M5x30 screws (6).

Please Note: The dust bag housing cover cannot be removed completely! It has not been shown in the illustrations only to improve clarity!

If not already installed in the power head, first insert bottom side with wide sealing of 86455340 (75147) sealing adapter (26) into power head as shown. Make sure that the wide rubber does not roll up during insertion.

Place the filter compartment (1) on the power head (2) so that the connecting piece (13) reaches into the corresponding opening while inserting round sealing edge of sealing adapter into the air channel of filter compartment (1). Open the zipper (11) of the filter compartment by moving the two sliders (12) all the way down to the right and to the left. Make sure that both ends of the zipper reach straight into the plastic part. They may not be folded or protrude. Then press the bottom plate of the filter housing with the flat of your hand and shake it lightly or move the pre-installed handle to simplify assembling.

For the final connection of the main assemblies one of the M5x30 screws (6) from the screw bag (5) is used. It should now be easy to push it a few millimeters into the hole and then engage with the thread inserted from the back.

Afterwards, insert the power unit (9) from the right hand side into the machine. Push until you feel and hear clearly that it engages. The battery pack now will be connected mechanically and electrically to the device. For more detailed description of installation and removing, please refer to section "Kärcher Battery Power+ Units Mounting and Removal".

Filter Bag Installation

First insert the guides (38a) of the included filter bag (4) into the receptacles (38b). Then tilt it upwards until it locks to latch (36). The filter bag will be plugged onto the connector (25) of the air guide automatically.

Please make sure that the filter bag hangs smoothly and straight in the unit to ensure maximum suction power and dust collection.

Then move both sliders (12) of the zipper to the top of the filter bag housing.

Removing / Changing Filter Bag

Lift latch (36) slightly with your thumb and pull handle (37) simultaneously.

Working with SENSOR Bp

SENSOR Bp is also equipped with many of the well known features of Kärcher upright vacuums.

The On / Off-Switch (20) is located on the left hand side of the power head and is designed to be operated by foot. A slight push will be sufficient for starting the motor, another push will stop it again.

Before bringing the vacuum in working position, please hold the handle firmly. Otherwise the upper part may fall backwards! Push down the foot pedal (23) first.

Afterwards, the upper part of the machine can be tilted into a comfortable working position. For cleaning under furniture or upholstery, the top part can be tilted far back (up to 180°). Working space will only be limited by the height of the power head.

In breaks or after finishing work, it is mandatory to push the filter bag housing upwards until the foot pedal snaps in tactilely and audibly.

Only then the device can be safely placed on a solid surface.

After finishing your work, the Power Pack should be removed from the machine and recharged in order to keep your SENSOR Bp always ready to use.

Height Adjustment of Brush

In order to get an optimal cleaning result, the brush of your SENSOR Bp can be height adjusted in four steps. The large adjustment wheel (21) on the right hand side of the power head is intended for this purpose. These settings are possible:

1 Largest engagement in the carpet, also carpets with low pile height.
2 High sweeping performance, but perhaps faster wear of the brush roller. Also for carpets with middle pile height.
3 Lower sweeping performance. Also for carpets with more pile height.
4 Lowest engagement in the carpet, also for long pile carpets.

The numbers listed above will also be shown on top of the adjuster (21a) according to the setting of the height adjustment.

With these setting options, the optimal balance between material protection, required pushing force, brush roller wear as well as battery running time can be achieved. If the cleaning performance is not sufficient, even in position 1, the brush roller is worn and needs to be replaced.

Please refer to section "Maintenance and Care" for details. It has been proven that it makes sense to start in position 2" and change to diverting settings depending on personal feeling or conditions on site.

Kärcher Battery Power+ Units Mounting and Removal

With the big release lever (16) on the backside of the vacuum, the Battery Power+ Unit (9) will be unlocked and pushed a small way out of its fixture.

It returns to working position after a Battery Power+ Unit has been installed correctly. Please observe the relatively large weight of the Battery Power+ Units when removing them! There is a risk of injury or fatal, irreparable damage to the unit when falling down.

The Battery Power+ Unit should be removed from the device with both hands and then be placed on a safe, stable surface (e.g. table, workbench, etc.).

If work has been finished or battery is empty it can directly be re-charged.

Replacing the Battery Power+ Unit works in reverse order and should for your safety always be carried out with both hands.

Please note that the Battery Power+ Unit has to be inserted into your SENSOR Bp with contact side (E) first. Otherwise it will not lock correctly into the fixture and the device will not work.

If battery pack cannot be pushed-in correctly, check that the internal guides are lined-up with guides (F) on top of the battery.

The display panel (D, Display) of the Battery Power+ Unit always has to stay visible. After Unit has been inserted so far that tipping out is safely prevented, push it further in with your flat hand on the front side until the end position is indicated by a clearly audible "Click".

Now the Battery Power+ Unit is positioned safely in the device and as well the electrical contacts are connected correctly.

At the same time, the release lever (16) automatically returns to its operating position.

Maintenance and Care

Before performing any maintenance or cleaning, switch off unit and remove battery.

Removal of brush roller

In order to remove the brush roller of the power head firmly press the button marked "PRESS" (23). Now you can swing the bearing block (22) downwards and remove it. Turn the brush roller (10) a bit clockwise and pull it out. It has been proven good practice to check the brush roller regularly for coiled yarn or hair and remove them.

Removing Blockages

If only a slight suction effect is noticeable or if the brush has been blocked, there may be a clog in the air passage. On bottom of the power head, the cover (33) of the air duct can be opened by releasing latch (34) in order to remove clog from the air channel. Make sure that there is no clog beneath this cover or in the transitions to brush channel and turbine.

When everything has been cleared, swing back cover until the latch snaps into its counterpart (35).

If you suspect a blockage in the filter compartment (please refer to page 9), remove battery, remove screw (6) and separate power head (2) and filter compartment (1). The air channel in the filter compartment can be checked easily from bottom.

Do not try to open air channel in filter compartment! If latches break, machine will not work correctly any longer.

Under no circumstances blockages or clog may be cleaned by means of sticks or other hard or solid tools. Damages would be very likely.
