n
Swivel the waste container downwards.
Note:
The waste container cannot be fully retracted until it has been tipped all the
way back into its original position.
Caution while sweeping!
Do not sweep up any packing bands, wire or similar objects, as these could
cause damage to the sweeping mechanism.
Sweeping Dry Floors
Two different main brush settings are possible:
a) Stationary main brush – sweeping pattern is rigidly fixed, see “Setting
Sweeping Pattern” (in chapter on maintenance),
b) Floating main brush – with its deadweight the main brush rests on the
floor and adapts to floor irregularities
Resetting to “Floating Main Brush”

n Open and stay cover

–
Press button
Note:
The side brush only works when the main brush roller has been lowered.
At regular intervals:
n Clean the filter (see earlier description).
n
Empty the waste container (see earlier description).
Notes:
In order to achieve the best cleaning results, the maximum travelling speed is
automatically reduced from 15 km/h to 8 km/h when the brush roller is lowe-
red.
If you are sweeping up very fine dust particles, use the side brush as little as
possible. Even more dust will be created otherwise, as the vacuum unit is not
effective round the side brush.
If the side brush hits an obstacle, it automatically retracts into the side of the
sweeper.
During the time that the sweeper is operating, the filter should be cleaned
approx. every 15–30 minutes (depending on the amount of dust).
Sweeping a damp or wet floor surface
Follow the same basic procedure as for sweeping dry surfaces. To protect the
filter from moisture:
n
Switch off the vacuum unit.
– Push the lever downwards.
At regular intervals:
n
Empty the waste container (see earlier description).
