In the event of a warranty claim please contact your dealer or the nearest authorized Customer Service centre. Please submit the proof of purchase. (See address on the reverse) Danger Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands. The appliance must not be used if the power cord or important parts of the appliance, e.g. high-pressure hoses, trigger gun or safety devices are damaged. Check the power cord and mains plug for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange for it to be re- placed immediately by an authorised repair agent or a skilled electrician Check the high-pressure hose for damage before every use. Please arrange for the im- mediate replacement of a damaged high- pressure hose. The appliance may not be used in areas where a risk of explosion is present. If the appliance is used in hazardous areas (e.g. filling stations) the corresponding safety provisions must be observed. High-pressure jets can be dangerous if improperly used. The jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electri- cal equipment or at the appliance itself. The high-pressure jet must not be directed at other persons 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. as- bestos). Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are susceptible to damage from the high-pressure jet and may burst. The first indication of this is a dis- colouration of the tyre. Damaged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly dangerous. En- sure that a distance of at least 30 cm is ob- served when cleaning with the jet! Never draw in fluids containing solvents or undiluted acids and solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The spray mist thus generated is highly inflam- General information Hazard levels Proper Use Environmental protection Warranty Safety instructions English 94 Deutsch mable, explosive and poisonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they are damaging to the materials from which the appliance is made.

The mains plug and the coupling of an exten- sion cable must be watertight and must never lay in the water.

Unsuitable extension cables can be hazard- ous. Only use extension cables outdoors which have been approved for this purpose and la- belled with a sufficient cable cross-section: 1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm

Always fully unroll electrical cables from the ca- ble drum.

High-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings are important for the safety of the appliance. Only use high-pressure hoses, fixtures and couplings recommended by the manufacturer.

This appliance is not intended for use by per- sons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. The appliance must not be operated by chil- dren or persons who have not been instructed accordingly. Children should be supervised to prevent them from playing with the appliance.

The operator must use the appliance correctly. When working with the appliance, he must con- sider the local conditions and pay due care and attention to other persons, in particular chil- dren, who are nearby.

Do not use the appliance when there are other persons around unless they are also wearing safety equipment.

Wear protective clothing and safety goggles to protect against splash back containing water or dirt. Caution

Do not operate the appliance at temperatures below 0 °C.

Observe a distance of at least 30 cm when us- ing the jet to clean painted surfaces to avoid damaging paintwork.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is in operation.

Make sure that the power cable or extension cables are not damaged by running over, pinching, dragging or similar. Protect the power cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

All current-conducting parts in the working area must be protected against jet water.

The appliance may only be connected to an electrical supply which has been installed in ac- cordance with IEC 60364.

The appliance may only be connected to alter- nating current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate on the appliance.

For safety reasons, we recommend that you operate the appliance only via a earth-leakage circuit breaker (max. 30 mA).

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.

This appliance was designed to be used with detergents which are supplied or recommend- ed by the manufacturer. The use of other deter- gents or chemicals may compromise the safety of the appliance. Caution Safety devices protect the user and must not be modified or bypassed. The appliance switch prevents unintentional op- eration of the appliance. This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and prevents the inadvertent start of the appliance. 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 is stopped. If the lever is pulled the pump is turned on again. The high pressure hose is specially constructed with reinforced walls to handle water pressure up to 13 MPa (1900 psi) - it can be easily damaged and should be stored carefully. Do not kink. Do not drive vehicles over the hose. Do not expose the hose to sharp edges or corners. Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature fail- ure and will invalidate warranty.

Illustration Î Push the high pressure hose into the trigger gun until it locks audibly. Note: Make sure the connection nipple is aligned correctly. Î Check the secure connection by pulling on the high-pressure hose. According to the applicable regula- tions, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water supply with- out 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 sys- tem separator is considered non-drinkable. Note: Impurities in the water can damage the high-pressure pump and accessories. For pro- tection, the use of the KÄRCHER water filter (op- tional accessory, order no. 4.730-059) is recommended. Observe regulations of water supplier. For connection values, see type plate/technical data. Î Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not in- cluded) with a standard coupling. (Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm), minimum length

Î Screw the coupling element (supplied) to the water connection on the appliance. Î Push the water supply hose onto the cou- pling unit, then connect it to the water supply. This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work with the KÄRCHER suction hose with backflow valve (Optional accessory, order no. 4.440-238) to draw in surface water, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications for max. suction height). Î Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with back- flow valve with water, screw to water supply and hang into the water butt. Î Separate the high pressure hose from the high pressure connection of the appliance. Î Switch the appliance on (I/ON) for a max. of 2 minutes and wait until the water exits the high-pressure connection without bubbles. Î Turn off the appliance "0/OFF". Caution Dry runs lasting longer than two minutes lead to damages to the high pressure pump. If the appli- ance does not build up pressure within two min- utes, switch it off and proceed as instructed in the Chapter "Troubleshooting".
