General Information - Kärcher hds 895 Operating Instructions Manual

8.1 Safety equipment
Pressure switch
When the operating pressure is exceeded, e.g.
when the gun is closed, when the nozzle is dirty
or when the heating element is calcified, the
pressure switch switches off the appliance and
switches it on again when the pressure falls
below a specific pressure. The pressure switch
is set and lead-sealed at the factory. Adjustments
may only be carried out by customer service.
Safety valve
The safety valve opens when the pressure switch
is defective. The safety valve is set and lead-
sealed at the factory. Adjustments may only be
carried out by customer service.
Low-water safety device
The low-water safety device prevents the burner
from switching on when the water is low. A
strainer prevents the safety device from becoming
fouled and must be cleaned regularly.
8.2 Accessories
Incorrect, badly fitting or defective accessories
impair the function of the appliance and are
dangerous. It is advisable to use Kärcher
accessories which are made-to-order. Your
dealer will be glad to advise you.
