Note

To take the brush drive out of opera-
tion, immediately release brush drive 
switch.

Warning

Risk of damage. Only use the recom-
mended detergents. With respect to 
different detergents the operator bears 
the increased risk regarding the opera-
tional safety and danger of accident. 
Only use detergents that are free from 
solvents, hydrochloric acid and hydro-
fluoric acid.

Note

Do not use highly foaming detergents. 
Observe the dosing notes.

Recommended detergents:

Open the cover of the fresh water 
reservoir.

Pour in water/detergent mixture. 
Maximum temperature of the liquid 
50°C

Note

The fresh water reservoir cover can be 
used to meter the detergent. The ca-
pacity of the cover up to the mark rep-
resents 1% of the fresh water reservoir 
capacity.

Close the cover of the fresh water 
reservoir.

Place the slider vertically.

Position the rotary handle for the 
brush contact pressure in the drive 
position.

Use the pushing handle to push the 
appliance to the place of use.

Place the slider vertically and tilt the 
lock up.

Install the transport wheels.

Warning

Danger of damage due to leaking wa-
ter. Remove the waste water and fresh 
water reservoirs before tilting the appli-
ance.

Remove the filled waste and fresh 
water reservoirs from the appliance 
and transport them separately.

Tilt the appliance to the side and 
drive it to the place of use on its 
transport wheels.

If the transport wheels hinder the use 
of the appliance:

Press the transport wheel release 
button and pull the transport wheel 
out.

Insert the transport wheels into their 
holder until they stop.

Place the slider vertically.

Adjust the rotary handle of the 
brush contact pressure to the de-
sired value.

Note

Carry out the initial cleaning attempts 
with less contact pressure. Increase 
contact pressure step-by-step until the 
desired cleaning result is achieved. A 
correct setting of the contact pressure 
reduces the wear and tear of the 
brushes.
The brush drive is switched off when 
there is overload. 
When cleaning with microfibre rollers, 
the contact pressure must not be ad-
justed higher than the position men-
tioned below. With a higher contact 
pressure, there is a danger of destroy-
ing the microfibre rollers.

Danger

Check the mains cables of the ma-
chine each time before using the ma-
chine to see that it is not damaged.  
Never operate a machine with dam-
aged cables.  Get the damaged cables 
replaced  by an electrician.

Insert the looped end of the exten-
sion cable in the strain relief hook.

Plug in the mains plug.

If the detergent solution is to be 
vacuumed off after the cleaning 
process, use the vacuum bar lower-
ing pedal.

Swivel the slider toward the opera-
tor - the chassis is retracted and the 
brushes touch the floor.

Turn on the brushes by using the 
switch for the brush drive.

Turn on the brush irrigation by us-
ing the switch for the detergent so-
lution.

Move the appliance over the sur-
face to be processed by the slider.

Warning!

Risk of damage to the floor covering. 
Do not operate the appliance on the 
spot.

Swivel the slider toward the opera-
tor - the chassis is retracted and the
