  If the Kärcher Scrubber won't start, ensure you are seated, as the machine operates only when the operator is seated. Move the safety switch to the "1" position. Turn the programme switch to "OFF", wait 10 seconds, and then return it to the previous function. Check the parking and foot brakes. Take your foot off the accelerator before turning on the safety switch. Finally, check and charge the battery if necessary.
