Operation; Operation With Detergent; High Pressure Operation - Kärcher HD 2.3/15 C Ed Manual

Operation

Danger
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
If the appliance is used in hazardous
areas (e.g. filling stations) all of the
safety provisions and operating in-
structions detailed in this manual must
be observed.
Danger
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 de-
pends on several factors:
Proneness to blood circulation defi-
–
ciencies (cold, numb fingers).
Low ambient temperature. Wear
–
warm gloves to protect hands.
A firm grip impedes blood circula-
–
tion.
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
occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold,
numb fingers) please consult a physi-
cian.
Caution
Clean engines only at places with cor-
responding oil separators (environ-
mental safety).
Risk of blocking. Place the nozzles in
the accessory compartment with their
joint pointing upward.
