If the floor cleaning device assumes its working position, then the wheel bearings are arranged at such a distance from the floor surface that the transport wheels fixed to the wheel bearings do not contact the floor surface. This has the advantage that the transport wheels can be easily adjusted by the user in the working position of the floor cleaning device to the user Wheel bearings can be fixed without the floor cleaning device must be raised. The installation of the transport wheels on the wheel bearings is thus very easy and can be performed by the user within a short time, preferably without tools.

  • the clamping element can be configured for example in the form of a clamping spring, in particular in the form of a wire clip.
  • axle stubs each have an annular groove in which a clamping element engages automatically when inserting the stub axle in a bearing bush.
  • This allows a particularly simple fixation of the transport wheels on the wheel bearings.
