Symbols on the device

Intended use

This battery-operated device is a sweeper for cleaning carpets and various textile floors indoors. It has an antistatic roller brush and a built-in dust filter. This device is only intended for dry application. The sweeper is designed for commercial use. Only use the sweeper in accordance with the information in these operating instructions. Any other use is considered as improper use. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any resultant damage. The user is solely responsible for the risk. No modifications must be made to the sweeper. Only the areas approved by the company or the company’s representatives must be driven on and cleaned.

Foreseeable misuse

• This device is only intended for dry application and must not be used or stored outside in wet conditions.
• The device is not designed for driving on slopes.
• Never sweep or suction up explosive liquids, gases, non-diluted acids or solvents (e.g. petrol, paint thinner, heating oil) because they form explosive vapours or mixtures in conjunction with the suction air.
• Never sweep or suction up acetone, non-diluted acids or sol-vents, as they will corrode and damage the materials used on the device.
• Never sweep or suction up reactive metal dusts (e.g. aluminium, magnesium, zinc). They form explosive gases in conjunction with highly alkaline or acidic cleaning agents.
• Do not sweep or suction up burning or smouldering objects. There is a risk of fire.
• Do not sweep up any harmful substances.
• Standing in hazard zones is prohibited. Operation in explosive spaces is prohibited.
• This device must not be used to push/pull or transport objects.

Suitable surfaces for sweeping

Large textile areas e.g. in:

• Offices
• Hotels
• Shops
• Casinos
• Airports
• Tennis halls
• Exhibition halls

Function

The sweeper operates using the direct-throw principle.

1. The rotating side brushes clean corners and edges of the sweeping surface and convey the waste into the path of the roller brush.
2. The rotating roller brush conveys the waste directly into the waste container.
3. The dust swirled up in the waste container is separated by a dust filter and a pre-filter, and the blower suctions the filtered clean air.
4. The pre-filter is cleaned automatically after a specified time when the device is switched on and during work.
5. The protruding rear wheels allow easy transportation on stairs.
6. The collected dirt is transported into the waste container. The waste container can optionally be equipped with a dust bag.
