– The inspection must be certified and

documented. The inspection guidelines
are § 33 and § 37 UVV (occupation ac-
cident prevention regulations) "Use of
liquid gas" (BGV D34).

– General applicable regulations are the

guidelines for inspecting vehicles
whose engines are driven by liquefied
gases of the Federal Transportation
Minister.

– Gas must always be drawn only from

one cylinder. Drawing gas from multiple
cylinders simultaneously can cause liq-
uid gas from one cylinder flowing into
the other. This causes the over-filled
cylinder to be subjected to an unpermit-
ted excess pressure when the cylinder
valve is closed later (refer B.1 of these
guidelines).

– Ensure the correct positioning of the

cylinder with the "top" marking while
connecting a full cylinder (the connec-
tion screw points vertically upward).

Perform the replacement of the gas cylin-
der carefully. During assembly and disas-
sembly, the gas outlet nozzle of the cylin-
der valve must be sealed by means of a
cap nut that is tightened using a wrench.
– Discontinue the use of leaky gas cylin-

ders. Such cylinders are to be emptied
by slowly letting out the gas in open
spaces by conforming to all safety reg-
ulations and are to be indicated as
leaky. Also inform the issuing company
or its representative (the filling-station
attendant) in writing about the damage
to the cylinder while delivering or re-
ceiving the cylinders.

– Before connecting the gas cylinder,

check that its connection neck is in a
proper state.

– After connecting the cylinder, regularly

check that it is not leaky by using a
foaming agent.

– Open the valves slowly. Do not use

hammers to open and close the cylin-
ders.

– Use only dry fire extinguishers (with

carbonic acid gas) in case of fire
caused by liquefied gases.

– The entire LPG unit must be continu-

ously checked to ensure that there are
no leaks and the unit is functioning
properly. Using the vehicle with a leaky
gas unit is strictly prohibited.

– First close the cylinder valve before

loosening the pipe or tube connection.
Unscrew and loosen the connection nut
of the gas cylinder slowly because oth-
erwise the gas under pressure in the
tube will flow out instantly.

– If the gas is refilled from a larger tank,

then ask the sales agent of the LPG
about the important regulations to be
followed.

DANGER

Risk of injury!

–

LPG in a liquid state can cause frost
bites on bare skin.

–

After disconnecting the cylinder, tighten
the closing nut firmly on the connecting
threading of the cylinder.

–

Use soap water or some such foaming
agent to check whether the cylinder is
leaking. The use of open flames to illu-
minate the LPG unit is strictly prohibit-
ed.

–

Follow the manufacturer's installation
specifications while changing individual
parts of the LPG unit. Close all cylinder
and locking valves while doing so.

–

Regularly check the status of the elec-
trical unit of the LPG vehicles. Sparks
can cause explosions if the gas-carry-
ing parts of the unit are leaky.

–

If a LPG-driven vehicle has been idling
for a long time, then first ventilate the
setting room before commissioning the
vehicle or its electrical unit.

–

Immediately inform the trade associa-
tion and the concerned trade superviso-
ry authority about accidents with gas
cylinders or LPG units. Store the dam-
aged parts carefully until all investiga-
tions have been completed.

– Propellants or LPG cylinders must al-

ways be stored according to the regula-
tions of TRF 1996 (Technical Regula-
tions for Liquid Gases, refer DA to BGV
D34, Appendix 4).

– Always store the gas cylinders in a ver-

tical position. Use of open flames and
smoking at the installation site of the
cylinders and during repairs is strictly
prohibited. Protect the stored cylinders
against unauthorised access. Close all
empty cylinders properly.

– Close the cylinder and main locking

valves immediately when you switch off
the vehicle.

– Follow the regulations for garages and

the construction guidelines of the re-
spective State about the location and
structure of the parking areas for LPG-
driven vehicles.

– Gas cylinders are to be stored in sepa-

rate rooms away from the parking areas
(refer DA to BGV D34, Appendix 2).

– The electrical hand-held lamps used in

the rooms are to be equipped with
closed, sealed case and a strong pro-
tection cover.

– Close all cylinder and main valves be-

fore working in repair workshops and
protect the gas cylinders against effect
of external heat.

– A responsible person must check that

all valves, especially the cylinder
valves, are closed during operational
breaks and before closing the factory.
Do not carry out any jobs involving fire -
such as cutting and welding jobs - in the
vicinity of the gas cylinders. Do not
store gas cylinders, not even empty
ones, in the workshops.

– The parking and storage rooms and the

repair workshops must be ventilated

properly. Please note that liquefied gas-
es are heavier than atmospheric air.
They get collected on the floor, in re-
cesses and other holes in the floors and
form a gas-air mixture that can lead to
explosions.

–

The engine is to be brought to a stand-
still and the appliance is to be fastened
properly during transportation.
Close fuel cock.

–

First switch off the device and remove
the KIK-key (Kärcher Intelligent Key)
before performing any cleaning or
maintenance tasks on the device, re-
placing parts or switching over to anoth-
er function.

–

Always disconnect the battery when
working on the electrics.

–

Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or high-pressure water jet (danger
of short circuits or other damage).

–

Maintenance work may only be carried
out by approved customer service out-
lets or experts in this field who are famil-
iar with the respective safety regula-
tions.

–

Please observe the local safety regula-
tions regarding portable commercially
used appliances.

–

Always use appropriate gloves while
working on the device.

The sweeper operates using the overthrow
principle.
– The side brushes (3) clean the corners

and edges of the surface, moving dirt
and debris into the path of the roller
brush.

– The rotating roller brush (4) moves the

dirt and debris directly into the waste
container (5).

– The dust raised in the container is sep-

arated by the dust filter (2) and the fil-
tered clean air is drawn off by the suc-
tion fan (1).

– The cleaning of the dust filter (2) takes

place automatically.
