Dear Customer,
Please read and comply with
these instructions prior to the in-
itial operation of your appliance. Retain these
operating instructions for future reference or
for subsequent possessors.
This high-pressure cleaner is designed for do-
mestic use only:
–
to clean machines, vehicles, buildings,
tools, facades, terraces, garden equip-
ment etc. using a high-pressure water jet
(and detergents if required).
–
with accessories, replacement parts and
detergents approved by Kärcher. Observe
the instructions provided with these deter-
gents.
The packaging material can be recy-
cled. Please do not place the packag-
ing into the ordinary refuse for disposal, but
arrange for the proper recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable mate-
rials that can be recycled. Please ar-
range for the proper recycling of old
appliances. Please dispose your old applianc-
es using appropriate collection systems.
The terms of the guarantee applicable in each
country have been published by our respec-
tive national distributors. We will repair possi-
ble faults on your unit free of charge within the
warranty period, insofar as the faults are
caused by material defects or defective work-
manship. Guarantee claims should be ad-
dressed to your dealer or the nearest
authorized customer service centre, and sup-
ported by documentary evidence of purchase.
Danger
Never touch the mains plug and the sock-
et with wet hands.
The appliance must not be used if the
power cable or important parts of the ap-
pliance, e.g. safety devices, high-pressure
hoses, spray guns, are damaged.
The appliance may not be used in areas
where a risk of explosion is present.
If the appliance is used in hazardous are-
as (e.g. filling stations) the corresponding
safety provisions must be observed.
Check the power cord with mains plug for
damage before every use. If the power
cord is damaged, please arrange immedi-
ately for the exchange by an authorized
customer service or a skilled electrician.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly
used. The jet must not be di-
rected at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or at the appli-
ance itself.
The jet must not be directed at other per-
sons or directed by the user at him/herself
to clean clothing or footwear.
Never use the appliance to clean objects
containing hazardous substances (e.g.
asbestos).
Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscepti-
ble to damage from the high-pressure jet
and may burst. The first indication of this
is a discolouration of the tyre. Damaged
vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly dan-
gerous. Ensure that a distance of at least
30 cm is observed when cleaning with the
jet!
Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating oil.
The spray mist thus generated is highly in-
flammable, explosive and poisonous. Do
not use acetone, undiluted acids and sol-
vents as they are aggressive towards the
materials from which the appliance is
made.
