Water volume regulation valve
Note
The volume of water emitted by the device through the

Cleaning wooden surfaces
Use the brush for wooden floor coatings for cleaning
wooden surfaces.
Note
 Test the device on an inconspicuous area before us-
ing on sensitive surfaces, e. g. wood.
 Do not allow it to remain in one area, but keep it in
motion.
Note
Always clean wooden surfaces in the direction of the
grain. Always clean along the floorboards or wooden el-
ements and down the slope.
Note
Pre-treatments may be removed from pre-treated sur-
faces. Uneven light-dark effects result from the type of
wood or its treatment. It is a desirable result to remove
the film on weathered wooden surfaces.
1. Guide the device slowly over the surface.
Illustration I
Apply a suitable care agent or preservative after
cleaning for optimum results!
Cleaning stone surfaces
Use the brush for stone coverings for cleaning stone
surfaces in outside areas (not included in the scope of
delivery - see the Accessories and spare parts chapter
for sources).
Note
Remove any loose elements such as gravel before
cleaning.
1. Guide the device slowly over the surface.
Storing the device
Illustration J
The device can be stored hanging on a wall hook. You
can also alternatively place the device on the parking
edge of the spray guard. Take care to ensure that the
device does not stand on the brushes to prevent dam-
age to the bristles.
1. Disconnect the connections.
2. Empty the device (see "Frost protection").
3. Clean the device (see "Cleaning").
