---

1. Side brush
2. Suction mouth
3. Water circuit / recycling water
4. Suction pipe
5. Waste container blower
6. Exhaust gas/ diffusor

• The dust created is bound by sprayed water.

• The side brushes rotate inwards and convey the waste in front of the suction mouth.

• The suction fan generates a vacuum and sucks the waste into the waste container.

• The filtered exhaust gas escapes from the rear side of the waste container.

• The dust is more effectively bound through the recycled water operation (water circulation).

• Asphalt

• Industrial floor

• Screed

• Concrete

• Paving stones

Any type of improper use is prohibited.

The operating personnel are liable for hazards resulting from incorrect use. Using the vehicle for other purposes than those described in this documentation is prohibited.

No modifications must be made to the vehicle.

• Never sweep/vacuum explosive liquids, inflammable gases or undiluted acids and solvents. These include petrol, paint thinners or heating oil, which can form explosive vapours or mixtures through suction air turbulence, also acetone, undiluted acids and solvents because these attack the materials used in the machine.

• Never sweep or vacuum reactive metal dusts (e.g. aluminium, magnesium, zinc) because they form explosive gases in conjunction with highly alkaline or acidic cleaning agents.

• Never sweep or vacuum burning or smouldering objects.

• Do not remain in the hazard zone.

• Never operate the vehicle in potentially explosive environments.

• Never transport persons on the vehicle, the loading area or attachments.

• Do not use the vehicle as a front loader.

• Do not use the vehicle in the forestry industry.

• Do not use the vehicle for dispersing insecticide, pesticide or fertiliser.

The packing materials can be recycled. Please dispose of packaging in accordance with the environmental regulations.

Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable, recyclable materials and often components such as batteries, rechargeable batteries or oil, which - if handled or disposed of incorrectly - can pose a potential threat to human health and the environment. However, these components are required for the correct operation of the appliance. Appliances marked by this symbol are not allowed to be disposed of together with the household rubbish.

Current information on content materials can be found at: www.kaercher.com/REACH

• Observe the national regulations at the location.

• Observe company-specific specifications.

• Dispose of any operating and auxiliary materials according to the valid safety data sheets.

Vehicles that are no longer fit for service contain valuable recyclable materials. We recommend you cooperate with a waste management company with regard to the disposal of your vehicle.

Ensure free visibility on public roads before use (e.g. fog-proof windscreens, mirrors, etc.).

• Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key before performing cleaning or maintenance work on the vehicle, replacing parts or changing the functionality of the vehicle.

• Repairs may only be carried out by approved customer service sites or staff qualified in this area who are familiar with all relevant safety instructions.

• Adhere to the safety checks according to the applicable local regulations for mobile commercial vehicles.

• The articulated joint, tyres, radiator fins, hydraulic hoses and valves, seals, electrical and electronic components must not be cleaned using a high-pressure cleaner.

The vehicle has a hydrostatic drive and articulated steering. It therefore exhibits driving characteristics that are different to those of a motorcar.

Release the accelerator pedal provides a form of active braking. This differs from a motorcar where only the engine brake reduces vehicle speed.

Vehicles with articulated steering exhibit a more direct response to steering movements than motorcars, particularly when taking bends at high speed, on snow, ice and wet/loose ground as well as during turning manoeuvres on slopes. Avoid rapid successive steering movements.

Rear attachments and load statuses influence the vehicle's centre of gravity and the driving characteristics. You must be ready to adjust to changed driving characteristics, particularly after changing attachments and in the case of changeable load statuses. Limit ranges may be reached earlier.

The vehicle has a central pendulum joint to provide a high degree of all-terrain mobility. This enables both vehicle halves to move transversely to the travel direction independently from one another.

This special property means that the driver does not receive immediate feedback on the behaviour of the rear half of the vehicle. You should therefore take care to use the mirrors to keep an eye on the rear of the vehicle.

Safety devices protect the user and may not taken out of operation or functionally circumvented.

Adhere to the safety instructions in the chapters!

The main switch interrupts the electrical supply line to the starter motor.

Always disconnect the battery after parking the vehicle (Battery disconnected position).

Prerequisites for starting the motor:

• Main switch activated (position battery connected)

• Driver is sitting on the driver’s seat

When the driver's seat is vacant:

• The vehicle cannot be driven.

• The front PTO cannot be switched on or off.

The parking brake requires hydraulic pressure to release.

The parking brake is therefore applied when the engine is switched off.

The parking brake is also applied when the engine is running and the travel direction lever is in the NEUTRAL position.

The operator is protected from lightning strikes when sitting in the driver cabin.

The driver cabin has a roll-over protection structure (ROPS), which prevents rolling over after tipping over.

The driver cabin does not have a structure providing protection from falling objects (FOPS).

The driver cabin does not have a structure providing protection from falling objects (OPS).

Always use the safety belt.

Observe the following warnings when handling the batteries:

	Observe notes in the instructions for the battery, on the battery and in these operating instructions.
	Wear eye protection.
	Keep acids and batteries away from children.
	Risk of explosion
	Fire, sparks, open flames and smoking are prohibited.
	Risk of acid burns
	First aid.
	Warning
	Disposal
	Do not throw batteries in the bin.

When used normally, and when observing the instructions, lead-acid batteries do not pose any risk.

However, keep in mind that lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid which can cause serious chemical burns and corrosion.

1. If there is spillage or, if the battery is leaking, acid is escaping, lay down a binding agent such as sand. Do not let it reach the sewer system, soil or a body of water.

2. Neutralise the acid with lime/baking soda and dispose of it according to local regulations.

3. Contact a waste management company to dispose of faulty batteries.

4. Rinse out your eyes or rinse off your skin with copious amounts of fresh water if acid splashes into your eyes or onto your skin.

5. Then consult a doctor immediately.

6. Wash any contaminated clothing with water.

7. Change clothes.

The DPF collects soot particles that are burned off by increasing the emission temperature when the filter is clogged (regeneration).

The regeneration process runs either automatically during working mode or driving mode but can also be started manually if required.

The higher the speed when driving, or the greater the load, the less frequent the need for manual regeneration.

Note

Only interrupt the regeneration process in the case of an emergency.

Note

If the regeneration indicator on the display lights up during operation then a regeneration process must be started.

Regeneration can be performed automatically or manually.

Work can continue during Automatic regeneration.

---



1. For manual cleaning ("Parked regeneration"), stop at suitable location within 15 minutes.

   Regeneration duration is approx. 30 minutes.

2. Set the travel direction to the NEUTRAL position and do not press the accelerator pedal.

   The driver's seat can be vacated during this period.

3. To start the regeneration process, first press function key F 10 (lower right key), then press F 1 for Automatic or F 2 for Manual cleaning.

Note

Work can continue during Automatic regeneration.

The automatic regeneration can be postponed in certain situations.

3. Check the front brush and sweeping brush for wear and tear and replace if necessary.

Maintenance and care of the bearings/linear unit

1. The existing lubrication points (grease nipples) are labelled.

   Lubricate daily with multi-purpose grease.

2. Clean the entire linear unit with water or brine. Cleaning with a high pressure cleaner is not a problem.

Maintenance and care of the chain

1. Inspect the chain at least once a month. During the inspection, clean the chain, tension the chain drive and lubricate it.

2. The chains can be cleaned with rags or brushes. Stubborn dirt can be loosened with petroleum or benzine. Apply new, suitable corrosion protection immediately after using grease-dissolving media.

3. The chain drive may only be tensioned by Kärcher Service.

4. Regular lubrication extends the service life. Lubricate the chain with relubricant VP8 FoodPlus Spay from IWIS.

   Note that the lubricant must get into the chain joint. This means that it has to get between the protective roller and the bushing, and also between the inner and outer plates to the pins and bushing

5. If you notice a lack of lubrication in the form of increased noise, stiff joints or fretting corrosion in the joints, we recommend the following procedure.

   Clean the chain with a very low viscosity oil. This flushes fretting corrosion, old lubricant and other dirt from the joint. When the chain has been cleaned, lubricate it with a suitable lubricant as described above.
