Operation; Shutting Down; Storage; Transport - Kärcher HKF 50 E Original Instructions Manual

Operation

DANGER
Risk of injury on account of the escaping
water jet that could be hot!
– Only use the interior cleaner in closed
containers.
– Only insert the interior cleaner into a
container or switch it into another con-
tainer while the separate high pressure
pump and internal drive are turned off.
 Place interior cleaner onto container
and lock it.
 Connect the high pressure pump to the
interior cleaner via a high pressure
hose.
 Interior cleaners with electric drives:
Plug in the mains plug.
 Interior cleaners with compressed air
drives: Open the compressed air sup-
ply.
 Open the cleaning liquid supply.
 Switch on the separate high pressure
pump.
Note: With almost all cleaning tasks, 2 noz-
zles will achieve a good cleaning result.
With very large and extremely dirty contain-
ers, 1 nozzle is used; the other one is
locked with a screw.
Advantage:
– Better cleaning result by larger spray
width and impact force of the cleaning
jet.
Disadvantage:
– The bearings and seals are stressed
more and will wear faster.
– Extension of the cleaning time.

Shutting down

Note: Flush the interior cleaner for 30 sec-
onds without adding detergents prior to
shutting it down. This will avoid crusting
and adhesion and thus premature wear of
the seals.
 Switch off the separate high pressure
pump.
 Shut off the cleaning liquid supply.
 Interior cleaners with electric drives:
Pull out the mains plug.
 Interior cleaners with compressed air
drives: Shut off the compressed air sup-
ply.
 Remove the interior cleaner from the
container.

er the weight of the appliance when storing
it.

Transport

CAUTION
Risk of personal injury or damage! Mind the
weight of the appliance during transport.
