Safety instructions

Danger or hazard levels

DANGER

Immediate danger that can cause severe injury or even death.

WARNING

Possible hazardous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death.

CAUTION

Possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury to persons or damage toproperty.

Motor

DANGER

Do not use high pressure cleaners when there has been an oil spill; move the appliance to another spot and avoid any sort of spark formation.
Wipe spilled fuel off the appliance.
Soak up fuel spilled on the floor using binding agents.
Do not store, spill or use fuel in the vicinity of open flames or appliances such as ovens, boilers, water heaters, etc. that have an ignition flame or can generate sparks.
Keep even mildly inflammable objects and materials away from the silencer (at least 2 m).
Do not start the engine without the silencer; check, clean and replace, if required, the silencer at regular intervals.
Do not use the engine in forest, bushes or grassy areas without fitting a spark receiver at the exhaust.
Except for setting jobs, do not run the engine when the air filter is removed or there is no cover over the suction support.
Do not make any adjustments to the regulator springs, regulator bars or other parts that can bring forth an increase in the engine speed.
Risk of burns! Do not touch hot silencers, cylinders or radiator ribs.
Do not put hands or feet close to moving or rotating parts.
Risk of poisoning! The appliance should not be operated in closed rooms.

High pressure hose

Danger

Risk of injury!

Only use original high-pressure hoses.
The high-pressure hose and the injection system must be suitable for the maximum operating pressure given in the Technical Data.
Avoid contact with chemicals.
Check the high-pressure hose daily. Do not use hoses with kinks. Stop using the high-pressure hose if the external wire layer is visible.
Do not use the high-pressure hose anymore if the winding is damaged.
Lay the high-pressure hoses in such a way that no vehicle can drive over it.
Do not use high-pressure hoses that have been driven over, kinked, pressed or bent even if there is no externally visible damage.
Store the high-pressure hoses in such a way that they are not subject to any mechanical load.

Safety Devices

Safety devices serve to protect the user and must not be rendered in operational or their functions bypassed.

Safety catch

The safety catch on the trigger gun prevents the appliance from being switched on unintentionally.

Overflow valve

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 hand spray gun is closed, the overflow valve opens and the entire water volume will flow back to the pump suction side.

The overflow valve and pressure switch are set and sealed at the factory. Setting only by customer service.

Safety valve

The safety valve opens when the overflow valve is defective.

The safety valve is set by the manufacturer and sealed. Setting only by customer service.

Thermostat valve

The thermal valve protects the high-pressure pump from unacceptable heating during circuit operation.

Attachment set lack of water fuse (option)

The lack of water fuse shuts off the engine when the water supply is scarce (water pressure too low).

Start up

Danger

Water connection

WARNING

Observe regulations of water supplier.

According to the applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water supply 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.

CAUTION

Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appliance!

Quality requirements for water:

Parameter: Value
pH value: 6,5…9,5
electrical conductivity: max. 2000 μS/cm
Hydrocarbons: < 0,01 mg/l
Chloride: < 250 mg/l
Calcium: < 200 mg/l
Total hardness: < 28 °dH
Iron: < 0,2 mg/l
Manganese: < 0,05 mg/l
Copper: < 0,02 mg/l
Sulphate: < 240 mg/l
Active chloride: < 0,1 mg/l

For connection values, see type plate/technical data.

Use a fibre-reinforced hose (not included in standard delivery). Diameter should be minimum 1″.
Connect the hose to the water connection of the appliance.
Connect the hose to the water tap.

Suck in water from vessel

A prepressed pump must be connected in front of the appliance to suction water.

Danger

Never suck in water from a drinking water container.

DANGER

Never draw in fluids containing solvents or undiluted acids and solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The spray mist thus generated is highly inflammable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they are aggressive towards the materials from which the appliance is made.

DE aerating the appliance

Open the water supply.
Unscrew the nozzle.
Press the lever on the hand spray gun.
Start the engine according to the operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.
Switch on the appliance and let it run until the water exiting from the spray pipe is bubble-free.
Switch off the appliance and fit the nozzle again.

Operation

DANGER

The appliance may not be used in areas where a risk of explosion is present.
Place the appliance on firm, even surface.
The high pressure cleaner must not be used by children. (Risk of accident on account of improper use of the appliance).
The water jet coming out of the high pressure nozzle causes the gun to recoil. Further, an angular spray pipe can cause additional torque. Hence hold the spray pipe and gun firmly.
Never direct the water jet on to persons, animals, the appliance itself or electrical components.
Risk of injury on account of high pressure water jet and mobilised dust. Wear protective glasses, protective gloves, a protective suit, special safety boots and a middle foot protection.
The jet must not be directed by the user at him/herself or at other persons to clean clothing or footwear.
Do not use the appliance while other people are present.
Risk of hearing impairment. Always use proper ear-protection aids while working with the appliance.
Vehicle tyres/ tyre valves may not be cleaned with this appliance due the high water pressure.
Do not spray materials contains asbestos or other health-hazardous substances.
Pay attention to ensure that all screws of all connecting hoses are tightened properly.
The lever of the hand spray gun must not be locked during the operation.

Work only with adequate lighting.

Turning on the Appliance

Open the water supply.
Unlock the safety lock at the hands pray gun by pressing it.
Press the lever on the hand spray gun.
Start the engine according to the operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.

High pressure operation

Warning

The handgun is subjected to a recoil force when the water jet is discharged. Make sure that you have a firm footing. Hold the handgun and spray lance firmly.

Power nozzle

The appliance is equipped with the following nozzles:

Power nozzle, 15° spray angle
- High pressure flat spray (15°) for large dirt areas

Note

To prevent damage due to too much pressure, always position high pressure ray first from a greater distance towards object to be cleaned.

Set working pressure and flow rate

Pull the lever on the handgun.
Set the working pressure and quantity by turning the pressure/ quantity regulation mechanism at the pump unit. The working pressure can be read from the manometer.

Interrupting operation

Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Use the safety catch to secure the handgun lever.
Store the hand spray gun and spray pipe in the accessory mount.
In case of extended interruptions (several minutes), switch off the engine.

NOTICE
When the lever of the hand spray gun is released, the engine continues to run at decreased speed. The water thus circulates

within the pump and gets heated. When the cylinder head at the pump has reached the maximum permissible temperature (80 °C), the term-valve on the pump opens and lets out the hot water into the open.

Finish operation

After operating the water using saline water (sea water), open the hand spray gun and rinse the appliance for at least 2 – 3 minutes using tap water.
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Set the appliance switch at the engine to OFF and close the fuel supply valve.
Shut off water supply.
Activate hand spray gun until device is pressure less.
Use the safety catch to secure the handgun lever.
Remove the water inlet hose from the appliance.
Store the hand spray gun and spray pipe in the accessory mount.
Stow away the high-pressure hose and accessory at the machine.
