WARNING
CAUTION
Use for the intended purpose also includes adherence
to the operating, servicing and maintenance instruc-
tions prescribed by the manufacturer.
Changes made to the automatic machines by the us-
ers themselves rule out the liability of the manufacturer
for any resultant damage.
Floor coverings are to be checked with regard to the
suitability of this cleaning method before the use of the
machine!
Note the surface pressure in the case of point-elastic
floors, e.g. in gymnasiums!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage to the
machine and the floor covering to be cleaned which is
caused by the use of the wrong brushes and cleaning
agents.

Store the appliance in a dry place, protected from

frost.
Warranty
Our general conditions of business are applicable with
regard to the guarantee.

age.
