Low-maintenance batteries (wet batteries)
DANGER
Refilling discharged batteries with water
Danger of acid burns from escaping acid, destruction of
clothing
Wear safety goggles, protective clothing and protective
gloves when handling the battery acid.
Observe the applicable regulations.
Immediately rinse off any splashed acid from the skin or
clothing using copious amounts of water.
ATTENTION
Using water with additives
Defective batteries, loss of warranty eligibility
Top up the batteries using only distilled or desalinated
water (EN 50272-T3).
Do not use any foreign additives, so-called enhancing
agents, because this will invalidate the warranty.
1. Add distilled water one hour before the charging
process comes to an end. Observe the correct acid
level according to the battery label.
All cells must produce gas at the end of the charging
process.
2. Clean up any spilled water. To do this, proceed as
described in the Care and maintenance chapter in
the "Cleaning the batteries" section.
Notes on initial charging
Note
The controller does not yet recognize the battery type
installed when initially charging the battery. The battery
indicator then still works imprecisely.
A "V" to the right of the bar on the battery display indi-
cates that initial charging has not yet been carried out.
1. Charge the batteries until the display shows the
maximum charging state.
2. After initially charging the batteries, use the device
until the deep discharge protection switches off the
brush drive and suction.
3. Then fully and correctly charge the batteries.
The "V" to the right of the battery indicator disap-
pears after initial charging.
Note
If a battery type is selected in the battery menu, the pro-
cedure described above must be carried out again. This
is also the case if the battery type that has already been
set is selected again.
Battery indicator
The charging state of the batteries is shown on the con-
trol panel display.
● The length of the bar shows the charging state of the
battery.
● During the last 30 minutes, the remaining operating
time is displayed in minutes.
