8. General Information
8.1
Safety equipment
Pressure switch
When the operating pressure is exceeded, e.g.
when the gun is closed, when the nozzle is dirty or
when the heating element is calcified, the pressure
switch switches off the appliance and switches it on
again when the pressure falls below a specific
pressure. The pressure switch is set and lead-
sealed at the factory. Adjustments may only be
carried out by customer service.
Safety valve
The safety valve opens when the pressure switch is
defective. The safety valve is set and lead-sealed at
the factory. Adjustments may only be carried out by
customer service.
Low-water safety device
The low-water safety device prevents the burner
from switching on when the water is low. A strainer
prevents the safety device from becoming fouled
and must be cleaned regularly.
8.2
Accessories
Incorrect, badly fitting or defective accessories impair
the function of the appliance and are dangerous. It
is advisable to use Kärcher accessories which are
made-to-order. Your dealer will be glad to advise
8.3
Spare parts
Please note that the use of other than Kärcher spare
parts can result in damage and even serious
accidents if these parts have not been correctly
manufactured, if they do not replace the Kärcher
spare part exactly or if they result in unsafe operation
of the appliance.
Kärcher spare parts guarantee that the appliance
can be operated safely and trouble-free.
A selection of the most common spare-part numbers
are listed at the end of these operating instructions.
8.4
