Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery Pack
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight), fire,
water, and moisture. There is a risk of explo-
sion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery
u
pack, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a risk of explo-
u
sion.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
u
soft, clean and dry brush.
Charge the machine only with the supplied battery
u
charger.
Transport and Storage
Switch the machine off and ensure that the extendable
u
handle is locked before transporting.
Care should be taken when lifting and moving
the machine, particularly when the water tank
is full. Check if the extendable handle is se-
curely locked. Use the extendable handle and
the lower front handle to lift the machine. Ensure a healthy
back posture when lifting the machine. Keep your back
straight and bend the knees.
Use caution when moving the machine over slopes or
u
steps. The machine is heavy when filled with water.
Before storing, drain the water from the tank and the
u
pump system.

u
ect sunlight.
