1.2. IMPORTANT! This appliance is not suitable for washing carpet or textile floors or wood floors not treated with non-absorbent resin. 1.3. This appliance is not approved for use on public roads or highways. 1.4. This appliance may only be used by personnel fully trained in its correct and appropriate use.

Before changing the main fuse, disconnect the battery cables from the respective terminals (danger of short circuit). 1.11. Under no circumstances may the charger leads (connecting the charger to the machine) supplied be modified. 1.12. All electrical functions of the machine are interrupted immediately as soon as the plug is plugged into the charger socket.
* Not relevant to maintenance free gel batteries INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING: 2.1. Before operating a battery-powered machine, please read all the following instructions and the instructions for use of the charger (if purchased). 2.2. Note that the batteries deliver maximum power only after eight to ten charging cycles.
PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR THE OPERATOR: 3.1. *IMPORTANT - Seal the battery cells by screwing on the caps. * Not relevant to maintenance free gel batteries 3.2. After turning the charger off, unplug the connection lead from the charger from the battery socket to power the machine. 3.3.

3.6. Light pressure and a slight sideways movement of the pedal release the brushes which are lowered in contact with the ground. 3.7. To activate brush rotation, press the corresponding button on the left side of the control panel. MACHINES WITH DIAPHRAGM: Pressing this button opens the water solenoid valve and turns the water pump on.
INSTRUCTIONS: 4.1. SERIES "B" MODELS WITHOUT DRIVE: The appliance is equipped with a patented drive system - as the brush rotates in contact with the ground, it draws the whole machine along at the correct working speed. By pushing slightly, the drive speed can be increased as required. Holding it back slows it down.
Page 9
4.3. By means of a vacuum created inside the collection tank, the used water and the dirt are completely absorbed and conveyed to the dirty water tank. To prevent dirty water or foam damaging the vacuum motor, the collection tank is protected by two sensors (electrodes) which shut the machine down when the tank is full (they also detect the level of any foam present).
Page 10
simpler and more effective, the appliance is fitted with an exclusive system: the tank tilts backwards, after raising the lid, lift the tank until it rests on the chassis (empty before tilting); after removing the cap, lower the drain hose to allow the water to run off rapidly;...
Page 11
4.8. When parking the machine, you are recommended to lower the brush head to anchor it to the ground. 4.9. The machine has a rapid brush replacement system: 1- turn the key to the off position (anticlockwise as far as it will go), 2- use the pedal to lift the brush head, 3- hold the brush with both hands and turn it sharply in the normal direction of rotation.

When topping up with distilled water make sure the level of liquid is the same in all the battery cells. Dry cells shorten battery life and may cause irreparable damage to the entire battery (not relevant to maintenance-free gel batteries). ATTENTION If the battery is damaged, the acid is highly corrosive! 4.12.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING: 5.1. No water is delivered, check that: the brush is moving, if necessary, activate the brush by using the button on the left of the control panel, there is water in the tank and the level is above the filter (the red LED on the switch board is flashing), if necessary, top up and add detergent, the clean water filter is not clogged,...
Page 14
check the main fuse. check the charge of the batteries and if necessary, charge. 5.4. Water is not sucked up, although the motor is operating; make sure the cap is correctly in place on the drain hose. make sure the suction hose between the squeegee and the dirty water tank is not blocked.

screw on the mobile support, tightening lightens the pressure, unscrewing increases pressure. PARABOLIC SQUEEGEE: adjust pressure on the ground by tightening the adjustment nuts above the levelling wheels on the back of the squeegee. 5.7. The brush motor shuts down: the automatic battery protection device has tripped.
Page 16
6. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE: 6.1. Before any servicing or maintenance work is carried out on the machine and before any parts are replaced: drain both tanks completely, unplug the plug from the charger from the charger socket, turn off the key switch. 6.2.
6.9. The outlet slits on the suction motor should be checked and cleaned regularly, especially where there is a considerable amount of fluff in the atmosphere. 6.10. A general control by authorised Gansow personnel is recommended at least once every six months. 7.

CE CONFORMITY DECLARATION We hereby declare that the machine described below complies with the relevant basic safety and health requirements of the EU Directives, both in its basic design and construction as well as in the version put into circulation by us. This declaration shall cease to be valid if the machine is modified without our prior approval.
Fax: +49 (0)2303 2580 199 SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR USING THE BATTERIES AND CHARGER Do you know how much a set of batteries costs? Between about 650 and 2000 € according to the size of your machine. Should you have armoured tube batteries, the cost of a set is between 2500 and 2100 €.
Page 27
Every battery should only be discharged to 70 or 80% of its rated capacity. You will overburden the batteries, if you use your machine too long, too often. How long you can safely work your machine, will be explained to you, when our service personnel installs your equipment.
Page 28
If loads are connected, e.g. BEM, a full charge could be needed after 3 weeks. Float charging at the instructed charging voltage. - Correct connection of the battery charger. Please take careful note that: the plug of the charger cable is firmly plugged into the machine; the mains plug is firmly fitted into the wall socket.

therefore damaged prematurely. Should you find loose post terminals, please do not simply tighten them, but remove them, clean the post and the terminal inside and out, smear with battery grease and refit tightly. - Run-in instruction Note that brand-new batteries need a running-in period and thus can not yet supply full power during the first 8 - 10 discharges.

Tap water has an electrical conductivity and will destroy the batteries. You can purchase distilled water at Electrical Wholesalers, from us, or from Petrol Stations. If you have any further questions about the handling of our battery machines then please contact your nearest Gansow representative or our head quarter in Unna / Germany.
