Transport
Stopping and Shutting Down
Draining Clean Water
With the height adjustment, the bending
of the vacuum blades is inuenced during
contact with the oor.
→ Adjust the height adjustment
rotary handles until you get the best
vacuuming result.
Cleaning
WARNING
Risk of damage to the oor. Do not operate
the device on the same spot for extended
periods.

Lower the Suction Bars
→ Pull the lever out and press it down; the
vacuum bar is lowered.
Warning:
- For cleaning tiled oors, set
the straight suction bar in such a way that
cleaning is not performed at an angle of 90
degrees to the joints.
- The suction bar oblique
position and tilting can be adjusted to
achieve better vacuuming results (see
“Setting the Vacuum Bar”).
- When the waste water tank
is full, the float closes the vacuum opening
and the vacuum turbine runs at an increased
rotation speed. If this is the case, shut the
vacuum off and empty the waste water tank.
