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. Use this high pressure cleaner exclusively for – 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 soiling we recommend the use of a rotor nozzle (only included in the scope of delivery with model HD
• Plus) 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. Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and must not be put out of operation or bypassed with respect to their function. If the pulling lever on the trigger gun is re- leased the pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-pressure jet is stopped. If the pulling lever is pulled the pump is turned on again.
