Use for the intended purpose
All automatic cleaning
machines are exclusively
intended for the wet cleaning of
water-resistant floor coverings in
building interiors.
Any use going beyond that is
deemed not to be in line with
the intended purpose. The
manufacturer does not accept
any liability for any resultant
damage; the risk in such cases
is borne by the user only.
Use for the intended purpose
also includes adherence to the
operating, servicing and
maintenance instructions
prescribed by the manufacturer.
The relevant accident
prevention regulations and
other generally recognised
safety and industrial health
rules are to be observed.
Changes made to the
automatic machines by the
users themselves rule out the
liability of the manufacturer for
any resultant damage.
Floor coverings are to be
checked with regard to the
suitability of this cleaning
method before the use of the
machine!
Note the surface pressure in
the case of point-elastic floors,
e.g. in gymnasiums!
The manufacturer accepts no
liability for damage to the
machine and the floor covering
to be cleaned which is caused by
the use of the wrong brushes
and cleaning agents.
Product liability
The users attention is expressly
drawn to the fact that the
automatic machines may be
used exclusively for the purpose
for which they are intended.
Should the machines not be
used for the intended purpose,
responsibility for this is to be
borne solely by the user. The
manufacturer is thus relieved of
all responsibility.
Hazards
When the machine is at a
standstill, the brush motor must
be switched off immediately so
that no damage to the floor
covering occurs.
Travel carefully over thresholds
and landings, as the wheels
and/or the suction lips can be
damaged. Ensure that the
brush unit and the suction
nozzle are raised.
For transporting in lifts, the
currently valid user notes and
safety regulations - especially
with regard to the carrying
capacity - are to be observed.
Workstation
The workstation is on the control
panel at the back of the
automatic machine.
Authorised maintenance
personnel
The automatic cleaning machine
may only be serviced and
repaired by persons having
specialist and statutory
authorisations.
Cleaning agents
When using of cleaning and
care agents, the manufacturers
hazard warnings are to be
noted; wear protective goggles
and protective clothing if
necessary.
Use only low-foam, non-
flammable cleaning agents
which do not contain
substances which are a general
health hazard.
