Symbols on the machine

The appliance must not be directly connected to the public drinking water network.

Use this pressure washer for private households only: – for cleaning machines, vehicles, buildings, tools, facades, terraces, gardening tools, etc. by means of a high-pressure water jet (if necessary, with additional cleaning agents). – with accessories, replacement parts and cleaning agents approved by KÄRCHER. Please observe the information accompanying the cleaning agents.

Environmental protection

Notes about the ingredients (REACH) You will find current information about the ingredients at: www.kaercher.com/REACH The packaging material can be recycled. Please arrange for the environmentally appropriate disposal of the packaging. Old appliances contain valuable recyclable materials that should be recycled properly. Batteries and accumulators contain substances that must not enter the environment. Please dispose of old devices and batteries or accumulators in an environmentally friendly way. Cleaning operations which produce oily waste water, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may only be carried out using washing stations equipped with an oil separator. Work with detergents must only be performed on liquid-tight work surfaces with a connection to the sewer system. Do not let release detergent into waters or earth. The extraction of water from public waters is prohibited in some countries.

The high pressure jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.

Protect the appliance against frost.

CAUTION Safety installations serve the protection of the user and may not be modified or bypassed.

The appliance switch prevents unintentional operation of the appliance.

Lock trigger gun The lock locks the lever of the trigger gun und prevents the accidental start of the device. Overflow valve with pressure switch The overflow valve prevents the permissible working pressure from being exceeded. If the lever on the trigger gun is released, the pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-pressure jet stops. If the lever is pulled the pump is turned on again. Motor protection switch The motor protection switch switches off the device if the power consumption is high.

The scope of delivery of the device is illustrated on the packaging. Check the content for completeness upon unpacking.

In the event of missing accessories or any transport damage, please contact your dealer.
