Operation ATTENTION Pump running dry Damage to the device If pressure does not build up in the device after 2 min- utes then switch the device off and proceed according to the instructions in chapter Troubleshooting guide. Smart Control System The "+/-" buttons on the high-pressure gun can be used to select the pressure and detergent dosing levels. The spray type can be changed by turning the 3-in-1 multi jet spray lance. Note The sensitivity of materials can vary greatly depending on age and condition. The recommendations are there- fore not binding. High-pressure operation ATTENTION Damage to painted or sensitive surfaces Surfaces can be damaged when the jet is too close to the surface or an unsuitable spray lance is used. Maintain a minimum spray distance of 30 cm when cleaning painted surfaces. Do not clean car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such as wood with the dirt grinder.

1. Insert the 3-in-1 Multi Jet spray lance and turn by

90° to fasten it. Be aware of the orientation! Illustration P ATTENTION Spray type change when the lever of the high-pres- sure gun is pressed Damage to the spray lance Let go of the lever of the high-pressure gun before changing the spray type.

2. Select the spray type. Do this by turning the 3-in-1

Multi Jet spray lance until the required spray display is visible above.

3. Switch the device on ("I/ON").

4. Unlock the lever of the high-pressure gun.

5. Press the lever of the high-pressure gun.

The device switches on. Activating the BOOST function For cleaning stubborn dirt, the BOOST function can be activated for 30 seconds regardless of the pressure lev- el set. This increases the water pressure.

1. Hold down the “+” button on the high-pressure gun

until BOOST is highlighted on the LCD display. Illustration Q After the BOOST function has expired, the device works with the previously set pressure level. As soon as the display stops flashing, the BOOST func- tion is available again. Operation with a washing brush ATTENTION Paint damage Damage to surfaces through a dirty brush Ensure that the washing brush is free from dirt or other particles before using it. Note The device operates at low pressure when using wash- ing brushes. This means that detergent can be mixed with the water.

1. Insert the washing brush into the high-pressure gun

and turn by 90° to fasten it. Operation with detergent DANGER Failure to adhere to the safety data sheet Incorrect handling of the detergent can seriously dam- age your health Observe the safety data sheet of the detergent manu- facturer, in particular the instructions on personal pro- tective equipment. Note A Plug ‘n’ Clean detergent bottle is required for operat- ing with detergent. KÄRCHER detergent can be pur- chased ready to use in a Plug ‘n’ Clean detergent bottle.

1. Remove the cover from the Plug ‘n’ Clean detergent

2. Plug the detergent bottle into the Plug ‘n’ Clean de-

tergent connection with the opening facing down.
