Caution
Risk of damage due to deep discharge of
batteries.
Charge the batteries before commissioning
the machine.
Note
The device is equipped with a safety mech-
anism to prevent total discharge, i.e. when
the permissible minimum capacity is
reached, then the machine can only be
driven and existing lamps can be switched
on. In such a case, the battery monitoring
symbol on the control console glows red.

Drive the machine directly to the charg-
ing station; avoid any steep gradients in
the process.
Note
While using other batteries (for e.g. batter-
ies from other manufacturers) the total dis-
charge protection level must be reset by
the Kärcher aftersales service according to
the respective battery.
ƽ

work and fuse protection - see "Charger".
Only use the charger in dry rooms with suf-
ficient ventilation!
Note
Average charging time is approx. 10 - 12
hours.
The recommended chargers (matching the
batteries used) are regulated electronically
and will automatically switch off the charg-
ing process.
ƽ

tery acid and follow the safety instruc-
tions to avoid personal injury or damage
to clothes.

clothes, rinse immediately with lots of
water.
Caution
Risk of damage!

(EN 50272-T3) for filling the battery.
– Do not add any substances (so-called
performance improving agents), else
warranty claims will not be entertained.
