ƽ DANGER
Danger of tipping if gradient is too high.
 The gradient in the direction of trav-
el should not exceed 10% (Adv
15%).
 Drive only lengthwise on uphill and
downhill gradients, do not turn.
Danger of tipping when driving round
bends at high speed.
Danger of slipping on wet floors.
 Drive slowly when cornering.
Danger of tipping on unstable ground.
 Only use the machine on sound
surfaces.
Danger of tipping with excessive side-
ways tilt.
 Take the seating position.
 Plug in the Intelligent Key.
 Bring the safety switch into the "1"
position.
 Set programme selector switch to
transport run.
 Set the drive direction using the
drive direction button at the opera-
tor console.
 Determine the driving speed by
pressing the drive pedal.
 Stop the machine: Release the
drive pedal.
NOTICE
The drive direction can also be
changed during the drive. Thus, very
blunt edges can be polished by moving
forward and backward a few times.
In case of overloading, the drive motor
automatically switches off after a cer-
tain period. A fault message is dis-
played on the console. The concerned
unit gets switched off if the controls get
overheated.
 Allow machine to cool down at least
for 15 minutes.
 Turn the programme switch to
"OFF", wait for a short period of
time and turn it back to the desired
programme.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage. Only use the recom-
mended detergents. With respect to
different detergents the operator bears
the increased risk regarding the opera-
tional safety and danger of accident.
Only use detergents that are free from
solvents, hydrochloric acid and hydro-
fluoric acid.
Follow the safety instructions for using
detergents.
Note
Do not use highly foaming detergents.
Recommended detergents:
 Open the cover of the fresh water
reservoir.
 Fill fresh water (max. 60 °C) until 15
mm below the upper edge of the
tank.
 Pour in detergent.
NOTICE
If detergent is added to the cleaning
detergent tank first, followed by water,
there could be a lot of foam.
 Close the cover of the fresh water
reservoir.
NOTICE
Fill up the fresh water tank completely
before starting up the machine to ven-
tilate the water supply system.
 Connect the water hose to the con-
nection neck on the filling system.
 Open the water supply.
Once the maximum fill level is
reached, the built-in floater valve
will stop the water inflow.
 Shut off water supply.
 Remove the water hose.
Parameters for the different cleaning
programmes are preset in the appli-
ance.
Depending on the authorisation of the
yellow Intelligent Key, individual pa-
rameters can be changed.
The modification of the parameters is
only valid until another cleaning pro-
gramme is selected via the programme
selection switch.
If you wish to permanently change the
parameters, you must use a grey Intel-
ligent Key. This adjustment procedure
is described in the section "Grey Intel-
ligent Key“.

Almost all displayed text regarding pa-
rameter adjustment is self-explanato-
ry. The only exception is the parameter

removing the grey film on fine stone
floors.
– Whisper Clean: Medium brush
speed for regular cleaning with re-
duced noise level.
