When using other batteries (e.g. of other
manufacturers) the total discharge protec-
tion for the respective battery must be read-
justed.
Charging battery
Note:
The device is equipped with a safety mech-
anism to prevent total discharge, i.e. when
the permissible minimum capacity is
reached, the brush motor and the turbine
are switched off.
 Drive the machine directly to the charg-
ing station; avoid any steep gradients in
the process.
DANGER
Danger of injury due to electric shock. Ob-
serve the mains voltage and fuse protec-
tion on the type plate of the device.
Only use the charger in dry rooms with suf-
ficient ventilation!
Charging process
– Average charging time is approx. 10 -15
hours.
– The built-in charger has electronic con-
trols and is suitable for all recommend-
ed batteries; it automatically switches
off the charging process.
– The built-in battery is shown on the dis-
play during the charging process. If this
is not the case, the charging marker line
must be selected (see "Setting the
charging marker line").
– The appliance must not be used during
the charging process.

Prior to Charging low-maintenance bat-
teries, the tank must be swivelled upwards
(see chapter "Installing and connecting bat-
teries"). This will prevent the generation of
dangerous gases during the charging pro-
cess under the tank.
While the water tank is folded up, you must
not clean with any water.
When charging maintenance-free batter-
ies, the water tank does not need to be
folded up.
 Insert the plug of the connecting cable
into the socket. The charging process
will start.
Note: The selected battery will be dis-
played during charging.
 Charge until the display shows a full
charge.
Low maintenance batteries (wet
batteries)
WARNING
Danger of causticization!
– Adding water to the battery in its dis-
charged state can cause the acid to
leak.
– Use safety glasses while handling bat-
tery acid and follow the safety instruc-
tions to avoid personal injury or damage
to clothes.
– Should the acid spray on to the skin or
clothes, rinse immediately with lots of
water.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
– Use only distilled or desalinated water
(EN 50272-T3) for filling the battery.
– Do not add any substances (so-called
performance improving agents), else
warranty claims will not be entertained.
– Replace batteries with the same battery
type only. Otherwise the charging char-
acterisitc must be readjusted by the af-
tersales service.
Installing the Vacuum Bar
