Safety Devices Appliance switch Lock trigger gun Overflow valve with pressure switch Environmental protection The packaging material can be recycled. Please arrange for the environmentally appropriate dis- posal of the packaging. Old appliances contain valuable recyclable mate- rials that should be recycled properly. Please ar- range for the environmentally appropriate disposal of the old devices. Electrical and electronic devices often contain components which could potentially pose a dan- ger to human health and the environment if han- dled or disposed of incorrectly. However, these components are necessary for the proper opera- tion of the device. Devices marked with this sym- bol must not be disposed of with regular house- hold rubbish. Cleaning operations which produce oily waste wa- ter, 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. 10 EN– 6 These operating instructions describe the maximum equipment. Depending on the model, there are differ- ences in the scopes of delivery (see packaging). The scope of delivery of your appliance is illustrated on the packaging. Check the contents of the appliance for completeness when unpacking. In the event of missing accessories or any transport damage, please contact your dealer.

Completely drain ap- pliance and accessories and protect them against frost. To avoid damage: Completely drain all water from the appliance: Switch the appliance on with detached high pres- sure hose and detached water supply (max. 1 min- ute) and wait, until no more water exits at the high pressure connection. Turn off the appliance. Store the appliance and the entire accessories in a frost free room. DANGER Risk of electric shock. Prior to all work on the appliance, switch off the ap- pliance and pull the power plug. Clean the sieve in the water connection regularly. Remove coupling from the water connection. Illustration ATTENTION The sieve must not be damaged. Pull the sieve out using flat pliers. Clean the sieve under running water. Reinsert the sieve into the water connection. Prior to longer periods of storage, e.g. in the winter: Remove filter from suction hose for detergent and clean under running water. You can rectify minor faults yourself with the help of the following overview. If in doubt, please consult the authorized customer ser- vice. DANGER Risk of electric shock. Prior to all work on the appliance, switch off the ap- pliance and pull the power plug. Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the device will switch on. Check whether the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the voltage of the mains sup- ply. Check the mains connection cable for damages. Check setting at the spray lance. Check water supply for adequate delivery rate. Pull out the sieve in the water connection using flat- nose pliers and clean under running water. Appliance ventilation: Switch the appliance on with the high-pressure hose detached and operate (max. 2 minutes) until the water exits the high-pres- sure connection without bubbles. Switch off appli- ance and reconnect high-pressure hose. Clean high-pressure nozzle: Remove dirt and de- bris from the nozzle bore, using a needle and rinse through with water from the front. Check water flow quantity. Slight leakage from the appliance pump is normal. If the leakage increases contact the authorized customer service. Use spray lance with pressure regulation (Vario Power). Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position. Clean the detergent suction hose filter. Check the detergent suction hose for kinks. Only use original accessories and spare parts, they en- sure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device. For information about accessories and spare parts, please visit www.kaercher.com.
