For your safety

Before using the machine for the first time, read these user instructions and the appended booklet “Safety Informa- tion 5.956-250”.

Please note carefully all the information contained in them.

Risk of explosion when charging the battery

When low-maintenance batteries are being charged, explo- sive gases are given off. Each time the battery is charged open the cover of the sweeper and make sure there is sufficient ventilation. Do not smoke and make sure there is no naked flame. For further information, see chapter “Battery”.

Take care when handling the battery!

Observe the information on safety provided by the battery manufacturer. The right to claim under the warranty exists only if you are using Kärcher recommended batteries and battery chargers.

The sweeper can topple over when travelling or turning on steep slopes.

–If you are working in the direction of motion, only attempt slopes of up to 18 % gradient

–If you are working across the direction of motion, only attempt slopes of up to 10 % gradient

Risk of sweeper toppling over when negotiating turns quickly!
