• not for HD 7/15 G – The operating elements for the cleaning process are yellow. – The controls for the maintenance and service are light gray. High-pressure jets can be dan- gerous if improperly used. The jet may not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself. According to applicable regula- tions, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water net without a system separator. A suit- able system separator by KÄRCHER or al- ternatively a system separator according to EN 12729 type BA must be used. Water that was flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable. High pressure cleaner to clean: Machines, Vehicles, Structures, Tools, Facades, Ter- races, Gardening tools, etc. – 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 ac- cessory. DANGER Risk of injury! Follow the respective safety regulations when operating at gas stations or other dangerous areas. Colour coding Symbols on the machine Risk of burns! Beware of hot components. Risk of poisoning! Do not breathe in the exhaust fumes. Petrol is highly prone to fire hazards and is ex- plosive. Before tanking up, switch off the motor and allow it to cool down. The motor exhaust gas contains poisonous car- bon monoxide. Do not run the engine in closed areas. Do not fill up when the motor is running. Do not smoke during fueling. Do not fill up directly from the can; use a fun- nel or suitable container. Proper use 17EN– 3 Quality requirements for water: ATTENTION Only clean water may be used as high pressure medium. Impurities will lead to in- creased wear and tear or formation of de- posits in the appliance. If recycled water is used, the following limit values must not be exceeded. Please follow the national rules and regulations for fluid spray jets of the re- spective country. Please follow the national rules and regulations for accident prevention of the respective country. Fluid spray jets must be tested regularly and the results of these tests must be documented in writing. The appliance/accessories must not be modified. DANGER – Do not use high pressure cleaners when there has been an oil spill; move the appliance to another spot and avoid any sort of spark formation. – Do not store, spill or use fuel in the vi- cinity of open flames or appliances such as ovens, boilers, water heaters, etc. that have an ignition flame or can gen- erate sparks. – Keep even mildly inflammable objects and materials away from the muffler (at least 2 m). – Do not start the engine without the muf- fler; check, clean and replace, if re- quired, the muffler at regular intervals. – Do not use the engine in forest, bushes or grassy areas without fitting a spark receiver at the exhaust – Except for setting jobs, do not run the engine when the air filter is removed or there is no cover over the suction sup- port. – Do not make any adjustments to the regulator springs, regulator bars or oth- er parts that can bring forth an increase in the engine speed. – Risk of burns! Do not touch hot muf- flers, cylinders or radiator ribs. – Do not put hands or feet close to mov- ing or rotating parts. – Risk of poisoning! The appliance should not be operated in closed rooms. – Do not use unsuitable fuels, as they may be dangerous. Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and must not be put out of opera- tion or bypassed with respect to their func- tion. Please do not let mineral oil contaminated waste water reach soil, water or the sew- age system. Perform engine cleaning and bottom cleaning therefore only on speci- fied places with an oil trap. pH value 6,5...9,5 electrical conductivity * Conductivity fresh water +1200 μS/cm settleable solids ** < 0,5 mg/l total suspended solids *** < 50 mg/l Hydrocarbons < 20 mg/l Chloride < 300 mg/l Sulphate < 240 mg/l Calcium < 200 mg/l Total hardness < 28 °dH < 50 °TH < 500 ppm (mg CaCO

Thus the permissi- ble working pressure is not exceeded. – The overflow valve is set by the manu- facturer and sealed. Setting only by customer service. The safety valve opens when the permissi- ble operating pressure is exceeded (see Technical Data); water flows outside. The safety valve is set by the manufacturer and sealed. Setting only by customer ser- vice. The thermostat valve protects the high- pressure pump from unacceptable heating during circuit operation when the trigger gun is closed. The thermostat valve opens when the per- missible water temperature of 80°C is ex- ceeded and lets out the hot water into the open. DANGER Risk of injury! Device, tubes, high pressure hose and connections must be in faultless condition. If they are not in a perfect state then the appliance must not be used. Figure 3, see cover page Fasten the push handle by means of the fastening screws. Figure 4, see cover page Slide the wheel onto the axle. Slide adjusting collar onto the shaft and tighten the screw. Tightening torque 20 Nm. Repeat process on the opposite side. Note: The EASY!Lock system joins com- ponents with a quick-fasten thread solidly and securely with just one turn. Insert the high pressure nozzle onto the spray lance. Install union nut and hand-tighten it (EASY!Lock). Join the spray lance with the trigger gun and tighten until hand-tight (EASY!Lock). Tighten the screw connection of the spray lance finger tight. Join the high-pressure hose with trigger gun and high-pressure connection of the appliance and tighten until hand- tight (EASY!Lock). The bottom of the oil tank must be cov- ered with oil. Do not operate the device if no oil is visible in the oil tank. Add oil if required (see technical speci- fications). Check oil level of the high pressure pump at the oil sight glass. Do not operate the device if the oil level has fallen below the middle of the oil sight glass. Add oil if required (see technical speci- fications).

Use only those detergents that have been approved by Kärcher. Observe the dosage and other instructions provided with these detergents. For considerate treatment of the environment use detergent economically. Follow the safety instructions for using de- tergents. Kärcher detergents ensure smooth func- tioning. Please consult us or ask for our cat- alogue or our detergent information sheets. Adjust detergent dosing unit on the de- tergent suction filter (+/-). Suspend end of suction hose in a con- tainer filled with detergent. Replace the high-pressure nozzle with the low-pressure nozzle. Operation Opening/closing the trigger gun Starting the machine Set working pressure and flow rate HD 7/15 G HD 8/20 G Replace the nozzle Operation with detergent 21EN– 7 – Loosen the dirt: Spray detergent economically and let it work for 1...5 minutes but do not let it dry up. – Remove the dirt: Spray off loosened dirt with the high pressure jet. Set dosing value for detergent to "0". Open the trigger gun and rinse the de- vice with the motor running for at least 1 minute. Release the lever on the trigger gun. Note: When the lever of the hand spray gun is released, the engine continues to run at zero speed. In case of extended interruptions (sev- eral minutes), switch off the engine. Activate trigger gun until device is pres- sure-less. Secure the hand spray gun using the safety catch so that it doesn't open ac- cidentally. After operating the water using saline water (sea water), open the hand spray gun and rinse the appliance for at least 2 - 3 minutes using tap water. Close the hand spray gun. Turn the starter to "0/OFF". Close fuel cock. Shut off water supply. Activate trigger gun until device is pres- sure-less.
