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.
CAUTION
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
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 dirt, we recommend the use of
the dirt blaster as a special accessory.
