Caution:
Switch off the unit and disconnect the mains plug before cleaning,
servicing or repairing.
Repair work must only be carried out by authorized customer service
centres familiar with the safety regulations.
Do not use a hose or high pressure water spray to clean the unit
(danger of short-circuits or other damage).
• The unit must be thoroughly rinsed with warm clear water at regular
intervals to avoid chemical residues and deposits. It is also recom-
mended to clean the suction channel and the containers.
• If the unit is not to be used for prolonged periods all water should be
drained out of the unit, otherwise odours may occur.
• Always check the mains cable, extension cable and hoses for
damage before starting.
• On completion of work, pressure must always be removed from the
brush rollers: either the handle must be in the vertical centre position,
or the running gear (transport rollers) must be locked in the extended
position when the handle is folded down.
Note: The brush rollers should be exchanged for new ones when the
overall height of the bristles has worn down to the same length as the
different-coloured tuft of bristles.
• Remove the side cover by removing the two screws.
• Remove brush roller and insert new one. Re-attach the cover.
• Change the second brush roller (symmetrically arranged) as descri-
bed.
Caution:
Always install two identical brush rollers (type and degree of wear),
thereby ensuring a uniform cleaning result.
• The vacuum lips on the vacuum bars eventually wear out and must
then be replaced:
- Rotate the side sealing cap by 90°.
- Pull out vacuum lips and push in new vacuum lips (profiled
structure must point upwards).
- Screw the sealing cap back on in the original position.
Note: The service life of the vacuum lips, as well as the wiping effect on
the floor, can be significantly improved by occasionally switching the lips
from the front to the back or vice versa.
