Symbols on the machine
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if improperly used. The jet may not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself. According to applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water net without a system separator. A suit- able system separator by KÄRCHER or alternatively a system separator according to EN 12729 type BA must be used. Water that was flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable.

Proper use
Use this high pressure cleaner exclusively for  for cleaning with high- pressure jet (e.g. cleaning of facades, terraces, gardening tools).
With optional accessories detergent can be added.
For stubborn soiling we recommend the use of a rotor nozzle (only included in the scope of delivery with model HD…Plus)

Safety Devices
Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and must not be put out of operation or bypassed with respect to their function.

Pressure switch
If the pulling lever on the trigger gun is released the pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-pressure jet is stopped. If the pulling lever is pulled the pump is turned on again.

Before Startup

Attaching the Accessories
Note: The EASY! Lock system joins components with a quick-fasten thread solidly and securely with just one turn.

• Insert the high pressure nozzle onto the spray lance.
• Install union nut and hand-tighten it (EASY!Lock).
•  Join the spray lance with the trigger gun and tighten until hand-tight (EASY! Lock).
•  Join the high-pressure hose with trigger gun and high-pressure connection of the appliance and tighten until hand-tight (EASY!Lock).

Start up
WARNING
Risk of injury! Appliance, accessories, supply lines and connections must be in fault-free condition. If they are not in a perfect state then the appliance must not be used.

Electrical connection
DANGER
Danger of injury by electric shock.

• It is imperative to connect the appliance to the electric mains by means of a plug. It is forbidden to permanently connect the appliance to the power supply. The plug serves for the disconnection from the mains.
• The plug and coupling of the extension cable used must be watertight.
• Use an extension cable with protective earth conductor (protection class 1) and an adequate cross section (see “Technical data”) und fully uncoil it from the cable drum.

For connection values, see type plate/technical data.

• Unwind the mains cable and place it on the floor.
• Insert the mains plug into a socket.

Water connection
Connection to the water supply

WARNING
Observe regulations of water supplier. According to applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water net without a system separator. A suitable system separator by KÄRCHER or alternatively a system separator according to EN 12729 type BA must be used. Water that was flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable.

CAUTION
Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appliance! For connection values refer to technical specifications. Connect the supply hose (min. length 7.5 m, minimum diameter 1/2“) to the water connection point of the machine and at the water supply point (for e.g. a tap).

Note:
The supply hose is not included.

•  Open the water supply.

Drawing in water from open reservoirs

• Screw the suction hose with filter (optional accessory) to the water connection.
• Appliance ventilation:

Unscrew the nozzle from the spray lance. Switch on the appliance and let it run until the water exiting is bubble-free. Let the appliance run for 10 seconds –then switch off the appliance switch. Repeat the procedure several times.

•  Switch off the appliance and fit the nozzle again.

Care and maintenance
DANGER
Risk of injury by inadvertent startup of appliance and electrical shock.
First pull out the plug from the mains before carrying out any tasks on the machine.
