Operation - Kärcher HD 10/25-4 Cage Plus User Manual

Operation

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 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.
Danger
If the appliance is used in hazardous areas
(e.g. filling stations) the corresponding
safety provisions must be observed.
Warning
Clean engines only at places with corre-
sponding oil separators (environmental
safety).
Wash animals only with a flat low pressure
jet (see "Select spray type").
High pressure operation
Note
The appliance is equipped with a pressure
switch. The motor starts up only when the
lever of the pistol is pulled.
Set the appliance switch to "I".
Unlock the hand-spray gun and pull the
lever of the gun.
Set working pressure and water quanti-
ty by turning (rungless) at the pressure
and quantity regulation (option) (+/-).
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.
Kärcher detergents ensure smooth func-
tioning. Please consult us or ask for our
catalogue or our detergent information
sheets.
Replace the high-pressure nozzle with
the included low-pressure nozzle
(brass).
Set the detergent dosing valve on the
detergent suctions filter to the desired
concentration.
Suspend end of suction hose in a con-
tainer filled with detergent.
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.

gun; the device will switch off.
Release again the lever of the hand-
spray gun; the device will switch on
again.
