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.
Environmental protection
The packing materials can be recycled. Please dispose of packaging in
accordance with the environmental regulations.
Electrical and electronic devices contain valuable, recyclable materials and
often components such as batteries, rechargeable batteries, or oil, which – if
handled or disposed of incorrectly – can pose a potential danger to human
health and the environment. However, these components are required for the
correct operation of the device. Devices marked by this symbol are not allowed
to be disposed of together with the household rubbish.
Working with detergents may only be performed on watertight surfaces with
connection to the wastewater sewage system. Do not allow detergent to enter
waterways or the soil.
