Please observe the following warning notes
when handling batteries:
ƽ
Danger
Danger of explosion. Do not put tools or
similar on the battery, i.e. on the terminal
poles and cell connectors.
Risk of injury. Ensure that wounds never come
into contact with lead. Always clean your hands
after having worked with batteries.
 Release the screw for locking the tank
and swing up the tank.
 Place the batteries close to each other
towards the cleaning head in the tray
and fasten them using the fastening
bracket behind the batteries.
 Lubricate the battery pole with pole
grease.
 Connect poles with the enclosed con-
necting cables.
 Connect the connection cable to the
free battery poles (+) and (-).
ṇ
Warning
Risk of injury on account of being crushed.
Hold the tank only in this area while tilting
downward.

Tilt down the tank and tighten the
screw.
ṇ Warning
Charge the battery before commissioning
the machine.
ƽ Danger
Danger of explosion. Wet batteries can
only be charged with the seat tilted up.
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 brush motors and the tur-
bine are switched off. In such a case, the
battery status display on the control con-
sole glows red. From this moment on-
wards, only driving mechanism is possible.

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
Danger
Risk of electric shock. Observe supply net-
work and fuse protection - see "Charger".
Only use the charger in dry rooms with suf-
ficient ventilation!
Note
Average charging time is approx. 10 -15
hours.
The recommended chargers (matching the
batteries used) are regulated electronically
and will automatically switch off the charg-
ing process.
All functions of the machine are automatically
interrupted during the charging process.
 Insert the plug of the charger into the
socket.
 Drain and dispose of the dirt water and
the residual fresh water.
 Release the screw for locking the tank
and swing up the tank.
 Remove battery plug and join it to the
charging cable.
 Connect the charger to the mains and
turn it on.
 Add distilled water one hour before the
charging process comes to an end; fol-
low the correct acid level. There are
corresponding indicators on the battery.
ƽ
Danger
Danger of causticization!
– Adding water to the battery in its dis-
charged state can cause the acid to
leak.
– Use safety glasses while handling bat-
tery acid and follow the safety instruc-
tions to avoid personal injury or damage
to clothes.
– Should the acid spray on to the skin or
clothes, rinse immediately with lots of
water.
ṇ Warning
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.
It is necessary to have a power supply ca-
ble/ adapter 6.649-582 for the charger.
Batteries and chargers are available in spe-
cialised stores.
