Danger
Risk of injury! Device, tubes, high pressure hose and connections
must be in faultless condition. Otherwise, the appliance must not
be used.
– For connection values, see technical data and type plate.
– The electrical connections must be done by an electrician ac-
cording to IEC 60364-1.
The operator must use the appliance correctly. When working
with the appliance, he must consider the local conditions and pay
due care and attention to other persons, in particular children,
who are nearby.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is in operation.
ƽ Danger
– Danger of scalding by hot water! Do not direct the water jet on
persons or animals.
– Risk of burns on account of hot surfaces! Do not touch unin-
sulated pipes and hoses when hot water operations are on.
Hold the jet pipe only at the handles. Do not touch the exhaust
holder of the continuous heater.
– Risk of poisoning or itching on account of detergent! Follow
the given instructions for using detergents. Store detergents
safely and protect them against access by unauthorised per-
sons.
ƽ
Danger
Risk to life on account of electric shock! Do not direct the water
jet on the following equipment:
– Electrical appliances and plants,
– the unit itself,
– all electricity-carrying parts in the working area.
There is a recoil pressure arising from the water jet that comes
out from the spray pipe. The angular spray pipe brings about an
upward force.
ƽ Danger
– Risk of injury! The recoil pressure of the spray pipe can throw
you off-balance. You may fall. The spray jet can fly off and
cause damage to persons. Search a secure place to stand
and hold the gun firmly. Never hold on tightly to the lever of
the hand spray gun.
– The jet must not be directed at other persons or directed by
the user at him/herself to clean clothing or footwear.
– Risk of injury from parts flying off! Flying-off fragments or ob-
jects can injure people or animals. Never direct the water jet
on fragile or loose objects.
– Risk of accident on account of damage! Clean tyres and
valves from a minimum distance of 30 cm.

Warning
Danger from substances that are harmful to health! Do not spray
the following materials as they can swirl up substances that are
harmful to health:
– Materials containing asbestos,
– Materials that could contain substances harmful to health.
ƽ
Danger
– Risk of injury on account of the emanating water jet that could
be hot! Only original Kaercher high pressure hoses are opti-
mally suited for the plant. No guarantee can be given if you
use any other hoses.
– Detergents can prove to be a health hazard! If any detergents
are added, the water let out of the plant is not of potable quality.
– Risk of hearing impairment while working on noise-making
parts! If so, wear ear plugs.

Danger
Risk of injury on account of the emanating water jet that could be hot!
ƽ Danger
Check the high pressure hose for damage before every use.
Please arrange for the immediate replacement of a damaged
high pressure hose.

Check high pressure hose, pipe connections, fittings and wa-
ter jet for damage every time before use.
 Check hose coupling to ensure that it sits firmly and is leak-proof.
Caution


Check filling level of the detergent container and refill if re-
quired.
 Check softener fluid level and refill if necessary.
 Turn the appliance switch (A) to "0".
 Shut off water supply.
 Activate hand spray gun until device is pressure-less.
 Turning the quantity regulation valve in clock-wise direction
will result in higher working pressure and larger volume.
 Turning the quantity regulation valve in an anti-clockwise di-
rection will result in lower workign pressure and smaller quan-
tities.
