Initial charge tips
With the initial charge, the control will not
yet be able to detect which battery type has
been installed. Keep charging the batteries
until the display shows a full charge
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
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.
WARNING
Danger of caustic material!
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.
CAUTION
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 only with batteries of
the same type. Otherwise, the charging
guideline must be readjusted by cus-
tomer service.

Dans chaque pays, les conditions de ga-
rantie en vigueur sont celles publiées par
notre société de distribution responsable.
Les éventuelles pannes sur les acces-
soires sont réparées gratuitement dans le
délai de validité de la garantie, dans la me-
sure où celles-ci relèvent d'un défaut maté-
riel ou d'un vice de fabrication. En cas de
recours en garantie, adressez-vous à votre
revendeur ou au service après-vente agréé
le plus proche munis de votre preuve
d'achat.
L’aspirateur à abrasion sert au nettoyage
humide ou au polissage de sols plans.
L'appareil peut être facilement adapté à
la tâche de nettoyage par un réglage du
débit d'eau et de la quantité de dé-
tergent.
L'appareil dispose d'un réservoir d'eau
propre et un réservoir d'eau sale (cha-
cun d'une contenance de 40 litres).
Cela garantit un nettoyage efficace
pendant une longue durée d'utilisation.
En fonction de la tête de nettoyage sé-
lectionnée, la largeur de travail se situe
entre 430 et 550 mm sur la B 40.
B 40 C Bp
Cette variante d'appareil ne dispose
d'aucune commande de traction.
L'avance se fait en poussant à la main
et est soutenue par la rotation des
brosses. L'entraînement de la brosse
est alimenté par deux batteries.
B 40 W Bp
Cette variante d'appareil dispose d'une
commande de traction. La vitesse de
déplacement peut être préréglée par
une molette de réglage.

plication dans des environnements à
risque d'explosion.
Ne pas aspirer avec l'appareil des
gazes combustibles, acides ou solvants
non dilués.
Ces-ci sont essence, dilutif de couleurs
ou fuel, qui peuvent former des mé-
langes explosives en touillant avec l'air
d'aspiration. Ne pas utiliser d’acétone,
d’acides ou de solvants non dilués, du
fait de leur effet corrosif sur les maté-
riaux constituant l’appareil.

Protection de l’environnement
Les matériaux constitutifs de
l'emballage sont recyclables.
Ne pas jeter les emballages
dans les ordures ménagères,
mais les rendre à un système
de recyclage.
Les appareils usés contiennent
des matériaux précieux recy-
clables lesquels doivent être
rendus à un système de recy-
clage. Des batteries, de l’huile
et d'autres substances sem-
blables ne doivent pas être tout
simplement jetées. Pour cette
raison, utiliser des systèmes
adéquats de collecte pour éli-
miner les appareils usés.

Les brosses sont montées.
Monter les batteries (cf. "Entretien et main-
tenance / mettre les batteries en place et
les raccorder").
Avant la première mise en service, après
une réinitialisation de maintenance ou en
cas de changement pour un autre type de
batterie, la courbe caractéristique de char-
gement doit impérativement être réglée.
Utiliser l'Intelligent Key grise.
Régler la courbe caractéristique de
chargement (cf. chapitre "Réglage de
l'Intelligent Key grise/Courbe caracté-
ristique de chargement").
Nous recommandons l'utilisation de nos
batteries, comme décrit au chapitre "Entre-
tien et maintenance / Batteries recomman-
dées".
Remarque
En cas d'utilisation d'une autre batterie
(ex. : d'un autre fabricant), le dispositif de
protection anti-décharge complète doit être
de nouveau réglé par le service après-
vente Kärcher et ce, pour chaque batterie.
Remarque
L'appareil dispose d'un dispositif de protec-
tion anti-décharge, c'est-à-dire que le mini-
mum admissible de capacité est atteint, le
moteur de brosses et les turbines s'ar-
rêtent.
Amener immédiatement l'appareil à la
station de charge en évitant les pentes.
Danger
Risque de décharge électrique Respecter
la tension du réseau et la protection par fu-
sible indiquée sur la plaquette de type de
l'appareil.
Utiliser le chargeur seulement dans des
pièces sèches et suffisamment aérée !
Le temps de charge s'élève en moyenne à
environ 10-15 heures.
Le chargeur installé dispose d'un réglage
électronique et est prévu pour toutes les
batteries recommandées ; le chargement
se termine de façon autonome.
La batterie mise en place est indiquée à
l'écran lors du chargement ; si ça n'est pas
le cas, la courbe caractéristique de charge-
ment doit être sélectionnée (cf. "Régler la
courbe caractéristique de chargement").
L'appareil ne peut pas être utilisé pendant
le chargement.
Remarque relative au premier charge-
ment
Lors du premier chargement, la commande
ne détecte pas encore le type de batterie
installé. Chargez les batteries jusqu'à ce
que l'affichage Chargement terminé appa-
raisse.
Danger
Risque d'explosion !
Avant le chargement des batteries né-
cessitant peu d'entretien, le réservoir doit
être basculé vers le bas (cf. chapitre "Mise
en place et raccordement des batteries").
Cela évitera la création de gaz nocifs pen-
dant le chargement sous le réservoir.
Tout type de nettoyage à l'eau est interdit
pendant que le réservoir à eau est relevé.
L'élévation du réservoir d'eau est suppri-
mée lors du chargement des batteries
nécessitant peu d'entretien.
Brancher la fiche secteur du câble de
raccordement dans la prise. Le proces-
sus de chargement commence.
Remarque : La batterie sélectionnée
est indiquée lors du chargement.
Le chargement dure jusqu'à l'affichage
Chargement terminé.
Avertissement
Risque de brûlure!
Des fuites d'acide peuvent survenir lors
du remplissage de la batterie déchar-
gée.
Porter impérativement des lunettes de
protection lors de toute manipulation
d'acide de batterie et respecter les
consignes afin d'éviter les blessures et
l'endommagement des vêtements.
En cas de projection d'acide sur la peau
ou les vêtements, rincer immédiate-
ment et abondamment à l'eau.
Attention
Risque d'endommagement!
Pour remplir la batterie, utiliser unique-
ment de l'eau distillée ou dessalée (EN
50272-T3).
N'employer aucun additif (produit dit
d'amélioration) sous peine d'annulation
de toute garantie.
Ne remplacer les batteries que par des
batteries du même type. Sinon, la ligne
caractéristique de charge doit être de
nouveau réglée par le service après-
vente.
