Symbols in the operating instructions À Danger Immediate danger that can cause severe injury or even death. À Warning Possible hazardous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death. Caution Possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury to persons or damage to property. Symbols on the machine High-pressure jets can be dan- Eu gerous if improperly used. The jet may not be directed at per- sons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself. According to the applicable regu- lations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water net without a system separator. Use a suitable system separator manufactured by Kärcher:; or, as an alternative, a system separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable. Use this high pressure cleaner exclusively for — Cleaning using low pressure jet and de- tergent (for e.g. for cleaning machines, cars, buildings, tools), — For cleaning using high pressure jet Without detergent (for e.g. for cleaning facades, terraces, garden appliances). For stubborn dirt, we recommend the use of the dirt blaster as a special accessory. Safety Devices Overflow valve with pressure switch While reducing the water supply/quantity regulation at the pump head, the overflow valve opens and part of the water flows back to the pump suck side. If the lever on the trigger gun is released the pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is pulled the pump is turned on again. Safety valve (only HD 7/18) The safety valve opens when the permissi- ble operating pressure is exceeded; water flows back to the suction side of the pump. The overflow valve, pressure switch and safety valve are set and sealed at the fac- tory. Setting only by customer service. Environmental protection The packaging material can be recycled. Please do not throw the packaging material into household waste; please sendit for recycling. Old appliances contain valuable QG materials that can be recycled; these should be sent for recy- cling.
