Operations
How the Machine Works
This machine is designed and manufactured for
burnishing indoor hard floor surfaces. Kärcher North
America does not recommend use of this machine in
any environment other than an indoor environment.
Battery powered floor equipment is designed and
manufactured for commercial use only. These
machines are designed to burnish most modern types
of floors including composition tile, stone, marble,
terrazzo, and resilient floor covering, and some coated
wood floors.
Operator Responsibility
The operator is responsible for performing the recom-
mended daily maintenance and checkups of the
machine to keep it in good working condition. The
operator must inform the service mechanic or super-
visor when recommended maintenance procedures are
required as prescribed in the MAINTENANCE section
of this manual.
Read this manual carefully before operating this
machine.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine before reading
and understanding the operation manual.
Check the machine for shipping damage.
Keep your machine regularly maintained by following
the maintenance information in this manual. A service
contract for the Lightning BDP 50/2000 W is available
from a Kärcher North America Authorized Distributor or
Service Center.
Order parts and supplies only from an Authorized
Kärcher North America Distributor. Use the parts
illustration section of your manual when ordering parts.
During and after operation, perform the recommended
daily and hourly procedures outlined in the Mainte-
nance Chart.
Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure
Level
The machine has been measured and rated on the
operator-ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor
treatment and floor cleaning machines for industrial
use. All tests are performed in accordance with
European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
•
Outdoor test area consists of a flat open space
free from effects of signboards, buildings or
hillsides for at least 15m (50ft) from the center
of the test surface. Indoor tests are conducted
in a semi-anechoic or sound deadening room.
16
•
The test surface is a single sheet of floor
covering at least 1m (3.3ft) wider and longer
than the equipment being tested. In order to not
affect the sound reading, the observer taking
readings is at least 2m (6.6ft) from the
equipment being tested, or standing directly
behind the operator.
•
All machines are tested while stationary and
centered on the test surface. With the traction
drive in neutral (where applicable) the test is
conducted with the machine at maximum
engine or motor speed as specified by the man-
ufacturer.
•
The operator is located in the normal operating
position with the microphone or meter
supported independent of the machine, 1, 68m
(66in) above the test surface, 25cm (10in) to the
right and left centerline of the operators
position, and 20cm (8in) to the rear most point
of the handle, with the handle in the most
forward position.
•
The sound level meter is observed for a
minimum of 5 seconds or until a stabilized
reading is obtain. The maximum repeatable
sound level observed during the test at each
microphone position is recorded and
documented.
Test for Hand-Arm Vibration at the Grip
Surface of Hand-Guided Machinery
The machine has been measured and rated on the
vibration at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-
guided machines that are provided with handles in
accordance with European Machinery
Directive (2006/42/EC).
•
The test area consists of a flat open floor area
that allows the machine to be operated
normally.
•
The transducer is mounted firmly at a point
halfway along the length of the handle where
the handle would normally be held.
•
Machines are tested while stationary, with all
mechanisms necessary for the equipment to
perform its intended functions engaged and the
traction drive in neutral (if applicable). The
machine will be tested at maximum engine or
motor speed as specified by the manufacturer
of the subject machine.
•
The measurements are recorded from the
dominant axis.
