Elektrical drive unit, 230 V
Hazard!
Potential loss of life due to high electrical
voltage. Only have the necessary electrical
installations carried out by qualified electricians.
The plug socket used must:
„
be fused with residual current circuit breaker
with a tripping current of 30mA,
„
be located close to the workplace, so that the
mains plug can be removed in an
emergency.

Install the maintenance unit for compressed
air
Caution!
When using compressed air drive, install a
maintenance unit in the compressed air first
(Kärcher Order No. 6.610-020). This way you
avoid damage to the compressed air drive due
to condensation water and poor lubrication.
The maintenance unit must be designed for
„
an air flow rate of 500l/min,
„
Pressures up to 7bar.
The maintenance unit consists of:
„
Water separator,
„
Pressure regulator with manometer,
„
Proportional oiler.
Fill proportional oiler with suitable lubricating oil,
to do this unscrew the storage tank and pour in
the lubricating oil (for oil grades see "Technical
Specifications“).
Install compressed air hoses at the
compressed air motor.
Important!
If the silencers are too small the resulting
backflow of waste air causes unsafe running of
the compressed air drive unit. Install hoses at
the waste air openings.
