To set up the Karcher BR 40/10 C, first ensure all parts are correctly assembled. Fill the clean water tank with water and appropriate detergent. Connect the power supply and ensure the brush settings and pressure are properly adjusted according to the floor type you will be cleaning.
If the BR 40/10 C leaves streaks, check the condition of the squeegee blades; they may need cleaning or replacing. Ensure the detergent concentration is correct and that the brushes are not worn out. Adjust brush pressure if necessary.
Regular maintenance should be performed after each use. This includes cleaning the brushes, squeegee blades, and tanks. Comprehensive maintenance, such as checking for worn-out parts and lubricating moving components, should be done monthly or as recommended in the user manual.
To clean the brushes, first switch off and unplug the machine. Remove the brushes and rinse them with water. Use a brush or cloth to remove any debris or residue. Allow them to dry before reinstalling.
Check if the machine is properly plugged in and the power outlet is functioning. Inspect the power cable for damage. Ensure that all safety switches are engaged and the emergency stop is not activated. If the problem persists, consult a technician.
Inspect the suction hose and squeegee for blockages or damage. Ensure that the waste tank is not full and that the vacuum motor is functioning. Check for proper assembly of all suction components.
Use a low-foaming detergent designed for use with floor scrubbers. Karcher offers specific detergents suitable for different types of floors and cleaning needs. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for detergent use.
The Karcher BR 40/10 C is designed primarily for hard floors. If using on carpets, ensure you have the correct brush and settings for carpet cleaning, and consider using a carpet cleaning attachment if recommended by Karcher.
To replace the squeegee blades, turn off and unplug the machine. Remove the squeegee assembly and detach the worn blades. Install new blades by sliding them into the designated slots and reattach the squeegee assembly to the machine.
Stop the machine immediately and inspect for any foreign objects in the brushes or squeegee. Check for loose parts or worn bearings. If the issue persists, contact a certified service technician for further inspection.
