Before Startup

Installing the Brushes

BD model
The disc brush must be installed before the initial operation (see “Maintenance work”).

BR model
The brushes are mounted.

Install batteries

Install the batteries (see “Care and Maintenance/Install and connect batteries”).

Setting the charging marker line
Prior to the initial startup, following a service reset or when switching to another battery type, you must adjust the charging marker line.

• Use the Grey Intelligent Key.
• Setting the charging marker line (see Chapter “Grey Intelligent Key/Setting the charging marker line“.

Using batteries made by other manufacturers
We recommend using our batteries as de-scribed in chapter “Care and Maintenance/Recommended batteries”.

Note:
When using other batteries (e.g. batteries from other manufacturers), the total dis-charge protection level for the respective battery must be reset by the Kircher after-sales service.

Charging battery

Note:
The device is equipped with a safety mechanism to prevent total discharge, i.e. when the permissible minimum capacity is reached, the brush motor and the turbine are switched off.

• Drive the machine directly to the charging station; avoid any steep gradients in the process.

DANGER
Danger of injury due to electric shock. Ob-serve the mains voltage and fuse protection on the type plate of the device.
Only use the charger in dry rooms with sufficient ventilation!

Charging process

• Average charging time is approx. 10 -15 hours.
• The built-in charger has electronic controls and is suitable for all recommended batteries; it automatically switches off the charging process.
• The built-in battery is shown on the dis-play during the charging process. If this is not the case, the charging marker line must be selected (see “Setting the charging marker line”).
• The appliance must not be used during the charging process.

DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Prior to Charging low-maintenance batteries, the tank must be swiveled upwards (see chapter “Installing and connecting bat-teries”).
This will prevent the generation of dangerous gases during the charging process under the tank.
While the water tank is folded up, you must not clean with any water.
When charging maintenance-free batteries, the water tank does not need to be folded up.

Insert the plug of the connecting cable into the socket.
The charging process will start.
Note: The selected battery will be dis-played during charging.
Charge until the display shows a full charge.

Information on the initial charge
With the initial charge, the control will not yet be able to detect which battery type has been installed. Keep charging the batteries until the display shows a full charge

Low maintenance batteries (wet batteries)

WARNING
Danger of caustic citation!

• Adding water to the battery in its dis-charged state can cause the acid to leak.
• Use safety glasses while handling battery acid and follow the safety instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to clothes.
• Should the acid spray on to the skin or clothes, rinse immediately with lots of water.

ATTENTION
Risk of damage!

• Use only distilled or desalinated water (EN 50272-T3) for filling the battery.
• Do not add any substances (so-called performance improving agents), else warranty claims will not be entertained.
• Replace batteries with the same battery type only. Otherwise the charging characteristic must be readjusted by the aftersales service.

Installing the Vacuum Bar

• Insert the vacuum bar into the vacuum bar suspension in such a manner that the profiled sheet is positioned above the suspension.

• Tighten the wing nuts.

• Insert the suction hose.

Unloading

DANGER
Risk of injury. Pull the Intelligent Key to take all functions out of operation immediately.

• Install the batteries and connect them (see “Care and Maintenance/Install and connect batteries”).

• Place long lateral boards of the packaging as a ramp next to the pallet.

• Fix the ramp on the pallet with nails.

• Place short boards as a support underneath the ramp.

• Remove the wooden bars in front of the wheels.

• Lift the cleaning head by pressing the pedal all the way down.
  Remove the cardboard with the R cleaning head.

• Plug in the Intelligent Key.

• Turn the program selection switch to transport mode.

• Press the driving lever and slowly move the machine down from the ramp.

• Remove the Intelligent Key.

Operation

DANGER
Risk of injury. Push the pedal for raising/ lowering the cleaning head with one foot only.
The other foot must firmly be placed on the floor.
In dangerous situations, release the safety switch/drive lever.

Driving

ATTENTION
Risk of damage. The suction bar must be lifted for reversing.

Note:
The device is designed and built in such a way that the cleaning head protrudes to-wards the right.
This enables working in a comfortable way close to the edges.

• Close the lock of the fresh water reservoir.

With automatic fill of fresh water reservoir (option)

• Connect the hose to the automatic filling system and open the water supply (max. 60 °C, max. 5 bars).
• Monitor the appliance – the automatic filling system will interrupt the water supply when the tank is full.
• Shut off the water supply and disconnect the hose from the appliance.

Detergent

WARNING
Risk of damage.
Only use the recommend-ed detergents.
With other detergents, the operator bears the increased risk regarding the operational safety and danger of acci-dent.
Only use detergents that are free from sol-vents, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
Follow the safety instructions for using detergents.

Note:
Do not use highly foaming detergents.

Recommended detergents:

RM 780

Routine cleaning of glossy surfaces (e.g. granite)| RM 755 es

Appliance with dosing equipment DOSE (option)
Detergent is added to the fresh water on the way to the cleaning head with the help of a damaging device.

Note:
The dosing unit can be used to add 3% detergent at maximum. With higher dosage the detergent must be put into the fresh water tank.

• Place the detergent bottle into the holder.
• Close the bottle lid.
• Insert the suction hose of the damaging equipment into the bottle.

Note:
If the fresh water tank is empty, then the function of adding detergent gets deactivated.
The cleaning head continues to work without the addition of any liquid.

Models without dosing equipment

• Add the detergent to the fresh water reservoir.

Setting the water quantity

• Adjust the water quantity using the regulating button according to the dirt on the floor covering.

Note:
Carry out initial cleaning attempts with low water volume.
Increase water volume step-by-step until the desired cleaning result is achieved.
The detergent pump of the dosing equipment does not start working until a minimum water volume is present.

Setting the Vacuum Bar

Setting the Vacuum Bar
To improve the vacuuming result on tiled floors the vacuum bar can be turned to an oblique position of up to 5°.

• Loosen the wing nuts.
• Turn the vacuum bar.

Setting the parameters

With yellow Intelligent Key
Parameters for the different cleaning programmes are preset in the appliance.
Depending on the authorization of the yellow Intelligent Key, individual parameters can be changed.

This adjustment procedure is de-scribed in the section “Grey Intelligent Key“.

Note:
Almost all displayed text regarding parameter adjustment is self-explanatory.

The only exception is the parameter FACT:

• Fine Clean: Lower brush speed for re-moving the grey film on fine stone floors.
• Whisper Clean : Medium brush speed for regular cleaning with reduced noise level.
• Power Clean: High brush speed for polishing, crystallizing and sweeping.
  • Turn the program selection switch to the desired cleaning program.
