Danger
indicates an immediate threat of danger.
Failure to observe the instruction may result
in death or serious injuries.
ṇ
Warning
indicates a possibly dangerous situation.
Failure to observe the instruction may result
in light injuries or damage to property.
Note
indicates useful tips and important informa-
tion.
– The interior cleaners HKF 50 are spray
devices to clean drums and containers.
– The cleaning head is inserted into the
container through an opening with a
suitable minimum inner diameter.
– A separate high pressure pump is con-
nected to the interior cleaner via a high
pressure hose.
Note
The chapter "Specifications" contains a list
of the permitted cleaning liquids.
Operation outside closed containers and
with higher pressure and temperatures than
those listed in the "Specifications" is prohib-
ited.
– The interior cleaner consists of a drive
unit, a support pipe and the cleaning
head. The nozzles on the cleaning head
turn around two axles and therefore
touch every place in the container.
– The cleaning head is turned by an elec-
tric or compressed air motor. The speed
is independent of the pressure and the
volume of cleaning liquid. With electric
drives, the speed can be set to con-
stant, with compressed air drives, the
speed can be adjusted via the com-
pressed air.
– Please follow the national rules and reg-
ulations of the respective country.
– Please follow the safety instructions
which are attached to the used deter-
gents (normally on the packing label).
– In order to avoid improper operation, the
system may only be used by persons
who have been instructed in handling
the system or have proven qualification
and expertise in operating the system or
have been explicitly assigned the task
of handling the system.
– The operating instructions must be ac-
cessible for every user.
Wrong operation or misuse are hazardous
to the operator and other persons on ac-
count of:
– high pressure
– high electrical voltages (HKF 50 E)
– Cleaning agents or used cleaning liquid
– Danger of explosion
ƽ
Danger
– Danger of crushing by the interior clean-
er. Only use the interior cleaner's drive
in closed containers.
– Danger of injury by high pressure jet -
therefore only use interior cleaner inside

– 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 injury due to interior cleaner top-
pling over at low submerge depth. In
this case, the interior cleaner must be
supported.
– Risk of injury by toppling container -
therefore use extra support for contain-
er and interior cleaner.
– Danger of injury by interior cleaner slid-
ing off; therefore tighten interior cleaner
with clamping ring.

ing agents and residue in the containers.
Please contact Kärcher in such cases to

head, ensure a free layout inside the con-
tainer. The cleaning head must never touch

risk of the used cleaning liquid, wear the fol-
lowing protective gear:
