DANGER
Lack of braking
Danger of accident
Before using the device, it is essential to check the func-
tion of the parking brake. Never use the device if the
parking brake does not work.

If the device no longer has any braking effect during op-
eration, proceed as follows:
If the device does not come to a standstill on a ramp with
a gradient of more than 2% when you release the accel-
erator pedal, for safety reasons you may only set the
safety switch to position "0" if you have checked the cor-
rect mechanical function of the parking brake before
starting up the device.
After reaching a standstill, put the device out of opera-
tion and call Customer Service.

Filling fresh water with the fresh water tank
automatic filling system (option)
Note
We recommend that you use a hose with an Aquastop
coupling on the device side. This minimises the splash-
ing out of water when disconnecting after the filling pro-
cess.
1. Connect the water hose to the automatic filling sys-
tem.
2. Open the water supply (max. 60 °C, max. 10 bar).
3. Monitor the filling process, the automatic filling sys-
tem interrupts the water supply when the fresh water
tank is full.
4. Close the water inlet.
5. Remove the water hose.

Filling the detergent into the fresh water tank
Note
First fill water into the detergent tank, then add the ap-
propriate dosage of detergent to the tank. If the deter-
gent is poured in first, this can lead to strong foaming.

Danger of clogging
When adding detergent to the fresh water tank, the de-
tergent can dry out and disrupt the function of the dosing
device.
Rinse the device with clear water after adding the deter-
gent to the fresh water tank: Select a cleaning program
with water application, set the water quantity to the high-
est value, set the detergent dosage to "0".
Filling detergent with a dosing device
Detergent is added to the fresh water on the way to the
cleaning head by a dosing device.
Note

ing device. If the dosage is higher, the detergent must
be added to the fresh water tank.
ATTENTION
Danger of clogging
