WARNING · DO NOT USE WITH FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AND TOXIC CHEMICALS · INJECTION HAZARD: EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE SERIOUSE INJURY IF THE SPRAY PENETRATES THE SKIN.
DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT ANYONE OR ANY PART OF THE BODY. IN CASE OF PENETRATION SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMIDIATELY. · THIS SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 1200 PSI. TO AVOID RUPTURE AND INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE THIS PUMP WITH COMPONENTS RATED LESS THAN 1200 PSI WORKING PRESSURE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SPRAY GUNS, HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS). · BEFORE SERVICING, CLEANING OR REMOVAL ANY PARTS, SHUT OFF POWER AND RELIEVE PRESSURE. AVERTISSEMENT · RISQUE D´INJECTION DE PEINTURE: LE MATÉRIEL PEUT ENTRAÎNER DE GRAVES BLESSURES S´IL Y A PÉNÉTRATION DE LA PEAU PAR LA PEINTURE. NE JAMAIS DE POINTER LE PISTOLET VERS UNE PERSONNE OU VERS SOI-MÊME. EN CAS D´ACCIDENT,DEMANDERIMMÉDIATEMENT DES SOINS MÉDICAUX. · CE MATÉRIELPEUT PRODUIRE UNE PRESSION DE 1200 lb/po2. AFIN D´ÉVITER DES RUPTURESET DES BLESSURES, NE PAS UTILISER CETTE POMPE AVEC DES ÉLÉMENTS DONT LA PRESSIONE NOMINALE DE SERVICE EST INFÉRIEURE À 1200 lb/po2 (Y COMPRIS LES PULVÉRISATEURS, TUYAUX FLEXIBLES ET RACCORDS). · COUPER LE COURANT ET DÉTENDRE À LA PRESSION ATMOSPHÉRIQUE AVANT DE PROCÉDER AU DÉPANNAGE, AU NETTOYAGE, OU D´ENLEVER TOUTE PIÈCE. 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 Holder for spray lance Connection lead Appliance switch (ON/OFF) High/Low pressure nozzle Rotary nozzle Spray gun with safety ratchet (A) and high-pressure hose 7 Detergent suction hose 8 High-pressure outlet 9 Water connection with filter 1 2 3 4 6 6 Support de rangement pour la lance Câble de branchement Interrupteur (MARCHE/ARRET) Buse haute/ basse pression Rotabuse Poignée-pistolet à cran d’arrêt (A) et tuyau haute pression 7 Tuyau d´aspiration de détergent 8 Sortie haute pression 9 Prise d’eau avec filtre 3 Starting Mise en service 4 Operation with high pressure Marche avec haute pression 5 Operation with Detergent Marche avec un détergent 6 Switching OFF – Care and maintenance Domaine d’application — Entretien et maintenance 7 Starting X Do not simply discard the packing mate- rials with the house-hold waste. Take the packing materials to the appropriate collection areas for recycling. Impurities in the intake water damage the pump. To prevent this we expressly urge you to use the Kärcher water filter (order no. 4.730-059). The operation of the high-pressure cleaner with a closed water supply line causes damage to the cylinder head unit. Please never operate the high-pressure cleaner with a closed water supply tap. If you are using an extension cable, it should always be completely unwound from the cable drum and have a sufficient crosssectional area: Operation with high pressure The appliance is equipped with a pressureoperated switch. The motor starts only if the lever of the gun is pulled. The safety ratchet does not lock the lever of the gun during operation but only prevents it from opening unintentionally. Operation with Detergent recommend that you use detergent sparingly for the sake of the environment. Observe the recommended dosage on the detergent label. By offering you an individualised range of clea-ning and preserving agents, Kärcher guarantees trouble-free operation of the unit. X We Switching Off The appliance should be rinsed clean after detergent has been used. To do this, suspend the detergent suction hose in a container of clean water, and run the pump for approx. 1 minute. Pull the trigger until there is no more pressure in the appliance, and secure the trigger with the safety ratchet against unintentional opening. Frost will destroy an appliance which has not been completely emptied of water. Ideally, the appliance should be stored in a frost-free room. Troubleshooting !Note: Disconnect the appliance from the power mains before all repair work. Appliance does not Work -Check whether the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to that of the power source. -Check the connector cable for damage. Appliance does not reach Operational Pressure -Vent the appliance:Allow the pump to operate without the high-pressure hose until water appears at the high-pressure outlet without any more bubbles.Then reattach the high-pressure hose. -Clean the strainer in the water connection. -Check the inlet water flow rate. -Check all inlet pipes to the pump for leaks or block-age. Strong Pressure Fluctuations -Clean the high-pressure nozzle. Remove dirt from the nozzle hole with a needle and then rinse out with water from the front. Pump Leaks -10 drops per minute are permissible. In the case of more serious leakage, you should contact the authorized customer service. No Detergent Suction -Clean the detergent suction hose with filter, and check for leaks. Spare Parts A selection of the most common spare parts numbers is listed at the end of these operating instructions. General Information Purpose Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles, buildings, tools etc. Clean facades, terrasses, garden equipment etc. without detergent only with the high-pressure spray. X Cleaning with the use of a high-pressure cleaner brings an 85% reduction in the consumption of fresh water.
