Attachments; Coupling Attachments To The Vehicle - Kärcher MIC 70 Manual

Note
If the attachment is raised whilst the attachment release
system is switched on, it will act like a load stabilisation
system when driving.
Vibration dampening (optional) ensures a more comfort-
able and stable drive during transport journeys with a
raised attachment on the front power lift.

Attachments

Note
Please read the attachment operating instructions before
fitting an attachment.
Attachments are optional and can be fitted to the front pow-
er lift (see chapter 8.5 Front power lift) or to the front or rear
mounting frames.
DANGER
Danger due to change to vehicle's centre of gravity
and to driving characteristics. When transporting flu-
ids, sloshing motion may occur, which will then rock
the vehicle.
In the case of modifications, particularly when converting
from winter to summer use and in the case of changes to
load conditions, the driver must be prepared for the
change in driving characteristics.
WARNING
Risk of crushing when attaching attachments
Do not reach between the front power lift and the attach-
ment.
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot hydraulic couplings
Wear protective gloves when disconnecting the hydraulic
couplings.
ATTENTION
Wear suitable protective clothing, safety gloves and gloves
when installing and removing attachments. This also ap-
plies during usage and application.
Please contact your responsible dealer before fitting at-
tachments that are not specifically intended for this vehi-
cle. Your dealer will check if installation and use of these
attachments is permitted on your vehicle. This is important
for the safety of the driver and the vehicle and also for any
warranty claims.
Attachments that endanger the safety or stability of the ve-
hicle may not be used.
