First Start-Up - Bissell BG697 plus Notice D'emploi

Dear Customers,
Thank you for choosing one of our high-quality Bissell products.
The Bissell BG697 is an especially efficient hand sweeping machine with a permanent brush
drive that is simple to operate and can be used for all even and hard surfaces. The unique Turbo
sweeping system with circular brushes and sweeping rolls guarantees double cleanliness. The
circular brushes collect all kinds of dirt from the road, from fine dust to empty cans, wet leaves
and even heavy garbage. The sweeping rolls collect fine dust, and, in addition, ensure the optimal
overhead filling of the dirt container. In order to guarantee a long service life of your sweeping
machine, the following operating instructions must be observed.

First start-up

Assembly of the sliding handle
Fold the the handle fitting (item 7.13) forward to an angle of 45° and pull it. Push the catch
spring of the sliding handle (item.7.12) and connect the sliding handle (item.7.11) with the handle
fittings (item 7.13) by engaging the catch spring. To fit handle to the sweeper frame (Pos 1.12)
fold the handle forward to an angle of 45° towards the front brushes, the handle holder will snap
into position. To fix the handle move the handle back to normal sweeping
Connect the battery cable
To avoid self-discharge the battery, the sweeper will be delivered with the
positive terminal battery cable. Disconnect the battery before initial use. Without
connected battery-cable, the sweeper keeps without electrical function and the
battery can not be loaded.
For connecting the battery, open the hood (item 1.13) by pulling forward on the
front lower edge of the hood and swinging upward. Open the battery holder. The wiring of the
battery is done by attaching the battery cable to the connector tab on the battery. (Red = positive
(+), black = negative pole (-) then attach the battery holder by pushing on and snapping. Do not
change the cables on the battery, otherwise the machine may be damaged and the warranty
on the components expire.
Charging the battery
Charge the battery prior to the first start-up. Please see the chapter "charging the battery".
Operation
Height adjustment of the brooms
The Bissell BG697 plus sweeping machine is factory adjusted for even surfaces. The brush
pressure can be freely adjusted with the adjusting button (item 1.11).
Step 1-2: new brushes for all even surfaces
Step 3-4: new brushes for wet leaves, sand, uneven floors (e.g. washed-out concrete)
Step 5-8: older brushes for readjustment of the worn brush parts.
Please ensure that the brushes rest only lightly on the floor. A lower brush
position does not bring about better cleaning results and instead may
increase the wear on the brushes.
