Operation
!
Serious danger!
Vehicle tyres and tyre valves can be damaged
by the high-pressure jet and become perforated.
The first sign of this is a discoloration of the
tyre. When cleaning them maintain a distance of
at least 30 cm.
Never grasp the power plug with wet hands.
Before each use check the power cord and
power plug for damage. Have a damaged power
cord replaced immediately by an authorized
Kärcher service point or an electrical specialist.
Before each use check the high-pressure hose
for damage. Replace a damaged high-pressure
hose immediately.
