the system may only be used by per-
sons who have been instructed in han-
dling the system or have proven
qualification and expertise in operating
the system or have been explicitly as-
signed the task of handling the system.
– The operating instructions must be ac-
cessible for every user.

to the operator and other persons on ac-
count of:
– high pressure
– Cleaning agents or used cleaning liquid
– hot system parts, if hot cleaning liquid
or steam is used
– Danger of explosion
ƽ
Danger
– Danger of crushing by the drive of the
cleaning heads. Only use the drive of
the cleaning heads in closed containers.
– Risk of crushing hands between tank
cleaning device and container during
the retraction phase; therefore hold the
tank cleaning device above the base-
plate to guide it during the retraction.
– Danger of injury by high pressure jet or
steam - therefore only use tank clean-
ing device inside closed containers; do
not clean damaged containers.
– Risk of injury by escaping steam with
leaking containers. Therefore, clamp
the baseplate carefully on the dome of
the container and close the lid of the
suction opening prior to operation.
– Health hazards posed by residue in
containers that are cleaned or by the
cleaning liquid used. Therefore, the list-
ed protective measures must be ad-
hered to.
– Risk of burns by hot hoses and hot rack
when using hot cleaning liquids or
steam. When operating with hot clean-
ing liquids or steam, do not touch the
rack and supply lines and wear protec-
tive clothing.
– Risk of injury if the machine is started
inadvertently with automatic control
runs. In those cases, inform the operat-
ing personnel.
– Risk of injury by inadvertent machine
startup after the system power has
been interrupted. In case of malfunc-
tions, switch off the drive of the cleaning
heads as well as the high pressure
pump; shut off the steam supply.
– Risk of injury on account of a drop of the
tank cleaning device. The lifting unit
must have a load capacity of at least
250 kg. The load hook must have a se-
curity system against inadvertent un-
hooking.
Risk of explosion and fire when using
cleaning agents and residue in the contain-
ers. Please contact Kärcher in such cases
to find out, how the respective cleaning
agents should be used.
– Ground the tank cleaning device eletri-
cally.
– Observe the fire and explosion protec-
tion regulations (inertiase, steam, etc. if
necessary).
– Only the products listed in Chapter
"Cleaning processes" must be cleaned
using the cleaning sequences listed
there.
Caution
Risk of damage on the tank cleaning device
and on the cleaning heads.
– The cleaning heads must never touch
the container wall or the items inside
the container. Please make sure these
are arranged with sufficient clearance
between them.
– When retracting and extending the tank
cleaning device and when folding it into
its working position, make sure that the
cleaning heads do not hit the container
or the items inside the container and in-
side the dome neck.
– Only extend and retract the tank clean-
ing device into and from the tank while
in extend/extract position and with the
transport safety device closed.
– Only activate the drive of the cleaning
heads while the folding rack is in its
working position.
– Do not manually adjust the position of
the spray nozzles on the cleaning
heads by turning them. A manual ad-
justment causes the breakage of the
overload fuse.
Depending on the concentration and health
risk of the used cleaning liquid, wear the fol-
lowing protective gear:
– Liquid resistant protective clothing
– Protective glasses or face shield
– Dense and durable gloves
– Dense and protective shoes
