Intended use

The façade and glass cleaning attachment can be used with all Kärcher Home & Garden high-pressure cleaners manufactured in 2008 or later, up to a pressure of 18 MPa (180 bar / 2600 psi).
The façade and glass cleaning attachment is ideal for high-pressure cleaning of house façades and glass surfaces such as winter gardens, window surfaces and façade glazing.
The façade and glass cleaning attachment is the ideal addition to the TLA 4 telescopic spray lance for safely handling cleaning tasks at great heights. The façade and glass cleaning attachment can also be used on any standard Kärcher extension tube or directly on the gun.

ATTENTION
Risk of damage
Risk of damage due to active forces. The telescopic spray lance and standard Kärcher extension tubes must not be combined.
Only use the façade and glass cleaning attachment in private households.
