6. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
Danger! The brush covers on the side must be
fi tted when carrying out work.
Warning!
•
Make sure that you have fitted the brush
which is intended to be used for the surface
you want to clean.
•
Make sure that the brush covers on the side
are fitted securely.
•
Inspect the brushes to check them for dirt
before you start your cleaning work and clean
them if necessary.
•
Carry out a test run on a small area which is
not very visible to check that brushing does
not damage the surface.
•
The surface to be cleaned must be free of ob-
jects such as stones, twigs, etc. These could
be flung up by the rotating brush or scratch
the surface.
•
Lift the equipment 1-2 centimeters off the
ground when you switch it on, but only until it
has reached full speed. Take care when doing
so in order to prevent injuries.
•
Never switch on the equipment while it is
tilted or while it is lifted for any other purpose
than for reaching the full speed – risk of injury!
•
Never use the equipment for too long at any
one point.
•
We recommend wet cleaning. Only use clean
water without any additives whatsoever.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from the rota-
ting brush.
•
Only insert the battery just before you start
your work and remove it again when you have
finished.
6.1 Changeover switch (Fig. 18)
Note:
•
Using the changeover switch you can select
the direction of rotation of the equipment and
lock it so that it cannot be switched on acci-
dentally. You can select between forward and
reverse rotation. Forward is the standard di-
rection of rotation, with which the equipment
has the most power.
•
Hold the equipment firmly by the handle and
additional handle and make sure you have a
steady standing position.

•
To avoid causing damage to the equipment,
the direction of rotation must only be changed
when the equipment is at a standstill.
a) Forward (standard direction of rotation): Slide
switch on left (V) pressed - the equipment
pulls away from you.
b) Safety- lock-off : Slide switch in the middle
position (as shown) - On/Off switch blocked
c) Reverse: Slide switch on right (R) pressed -
the equipment moves towards you.
6.2 On/Off switch (Fig. 15 / Item 3)
a) Switching on
When you press the On/Off switch, the brush
rotates.
b) Switching off
When you release the On/Off switch, the
equipment switches off and the brush comes
to a standstill.
6.3 Speed controller (Fig. 18 / Item 4)
To set the speed of the brush, turn the speed con-
troller (min = lowest / max = highest). This allows
the speed to be adjusted to the particular surface
being cleaned. The numbers 1 – 5 marked on the
speed controller are provided to indicate the set
speed more clearly.
6.4 Operation
Note: Worn or frayed brushes should be replaced
in good time. Replace the brush as soon as its
diameter is less than approx. 95 mm. A brush dia-
meter of any less can lead to damage.
Important! If the permissible input current is ex-
ceeded (e.g. by pressing too strongly), the equip-
ment switches off automatically and must be swit-
ched on again by pressing the On/Off switch.
6.4.1 Cleaning in general (not applicable to
section "6.4.5 Brushing artifi cial turf")
1. Place the brush evenly on the surface.
2. Set the working height to the one which is
most comfortable for you (see section 5.3).
The splash guard (Fig. 1 / Item 14) must just
clear the ground on both sides.
3. Select the correct direction of rotation (see
section 6.1) for the surface you want to clean
(observe sections 6.4.2 – 6.4.4).
4. To achieve top cleaning results quickly, we re-
commend wet cleaning. Open the water inlet.
5. Lift the equipment 1-2 centimeters and switch
on the equipment (see section 6.2).
6. Set the desired speed (from slow to fast) (see
section 6.3). Wait until the full speed has been
