Operation
Vacuuming with the hand-held suc-
tion hose
The hand-held suction hose is an op-
tional accessory.
Vacuuming with the hand-held suction
hose only works when the operator is
not seated on the driver's seat (seat
contact switch is not actuated).
Always apply the parking brake
before getting out of the vehi-
cle!
• Press the “Button for
squeegee and suction
turbine” button
(Fig. 19/10) on the left-
hand operating panel.
The squeegee remains raised.
Useful tips for cleaning
• Sweep the floor before starting wet
cleaning. This not only improves the
cleaning effect but also reduces the
vehicle's liability to wear.
• The floor should be treated twice in
the case of particularly dirty floors or
to remove wax (basic cleaning).
- During the first cleaning process,
the floor is scrubbed with a clean-
ing agent dosage appropriate to the
degree of soiling, whereby the
squeegee is raised.
- Let the cleaning solution work into
the floor for 5 to 10 minutes accord-
ing to the manufacturer's informa-
tion.
- Then scrub the floor again with the
squeegee lowered.
• Observe the correct dosage of the
cleaning agent. Information on dos-
age is provided on the cleaning
agent container.
• Use the manufacturer's information
as an initial basis. Practical experi-
ence will ensure that you quickly find
out which is the right PowerBoss
cleaning agent and the optimum
dosage to suit your needs.
The correct dosage helps to re-
duce costs and protect the en-
vironment.
The development of excessive
foam impairs the vehicle's
function.
• Cause: Too much cleaning agent
leads to certain component parts of it
getting into the waste water resulting
in the development of foam. This in-
dicates that the amount and mixture
of solution do not match the level of
dirt.
