High-pressure jets can be dan-
gerous if improperly used. The
jet may not be directed at per-
sons, animals, live electrical equipment or
at the appliance itself.
According to the applicable regu-
lations, the appliance must never
be used on the drinking water net
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by
Kärcher; or, as an alternative, a system
separator as per EN 12729 Type BA.
Water flowing through a system separator
is considered non-drinkable.
Use this high pressure cleaner exclusively
for
– Cleaning using low pressure jet and de-
tergent (for e.g. for cleaning machines,
cars, buildings, tools),
– For cleaning using high pressure jet
without detergent (for e.g. for cleaning
facades, terraces, garden appliances).
For stubborn dirt, we recommend the use of
the dirt blaster as a special accessory.
Safety devices serve to protect the user
and must not be rendered in operational or
their functions bypassed.
While reducing the water supply/quantity
regulation at the pump head, the overflow
valve opens and part of the water flows
back to the pump suck side.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released
the pressure switch turns off the pump, the
high pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is
pulled the pump is turned on again.
The overflow valve and pressure switch are
set and sealed at the factory. Setting only
by customer service.
