Operation; Operation With Detergent; High Pressure Operation - Kärcher HD 5/11 C Manual

Operation

Danger
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
If the appliance is used in hazardous areas
(e.g. filling stations) the corresponding
safety provisions must be observed.
Warning
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
–
cies (cold, numb fingers).
Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
–
gloves to protect hands.
A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
–
Continuous operation is worse than an
–
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.
Caution
Clean engines only at places with corre-
sponding oil separators (environmental
safety).
Note
Risk of blocking. Place the nozzles in the
accessory compartment with their joint
pointing upward.

switch. The motor starts up only when the

Operation with detergent

Warning
Unsuitable detergents can cause damage
to the appliance and to the object to be
cleaned. 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
catalogue or our detergent information
sheets.
 Take out detergent suck hose.
 Suspend end of suction hose in a con-
tainer filled with detergent.
 Set nozzle to "CHEM".
 Set dosing value for detergent to the
desired concentration.
Recommended cleaning method
 Spray the detergent sparingly on the
dry surface and allow it to react, but not
to dry.
 Spray off loosened dirt with the high-
pressure ray.
 After operations, dip the filter in clear
water. Turn the dosing valve to the
highest detergent concentration. Start
the appliance and rinse for one minute.
