Note KÄRCHER extension tubes can be used if necessary. Ensure that the device parts are tightly connected on in- stallation. Illustration B a Completely unscrew the union nut. b Press the bayonet connection into the mount on the high-pressure gun. c Turn the washing brush clockwise by 90° until the bayonet connection engages on the mount. If necessary, turn the washing brush 90° anti- clockwise to let the bristles point upwards. d Tighten the union nut. ATTENTION Risk of damage! Risk of damage to sensitive or painted surfaces due to absorbed dirt particles. Risk of damage to the bristles. Never place or lay the washing brush on the bristles to avoid picking up dirt particles and damaging the bristles. Always place the washing brush so that the bristles point upwards. Illustration C

3. Removing the washing brush is done in the reverse

order. Filling with detergent DANGER Health risk! There is a danger of serious damage to health if the de- tergent is used improperly. Observe the safety data sheet of the detergent manu- facturer, in particular the instructions on personal pro- tective equipment. ATTENTION Risk of damage!

Do not apply cleaning foam to hot surfaces and observe the maximum contact time. Do not allow cleaning foam to dry on the surfaces being cleaned.

3. Operate the high-pressure gun and apply the clean-

ing foam from the bottom to the top of the surfaces to be cleaned.
