Installing The Plant; Warranty - Kärcher HDC 40/8 Manual

Installing the plant

Only for authorised techni-
cians!
!
Assembly
ATTENTION
Always keep the installation site of the sys-
tem well ventilated to protect the machine
against over-heating.
– The appliance should not be directly at-
tached to the network of water and high
pressure pipes. It is mandatory to install
the connecting hoses.
– A shut-off tap must be installed be-
tween the main water supply and the
connecting hose.
Installing the high pressure
connections
For installation, please follow the specifica-
tions of the VDMA sheet 24416 "High pres-
sure cleaners; fixed high pressure cleaning
systems; concepts, requirements, installa-
tion, testing" (the German version can be
procured from Beuth Verlag, Cologne,
www.beuth.de).
– The pressure loss in the pipe connec-
tions must lie below 1.5 MPa.
– The completed pipe connections must
be checked using 32 MPa.
– The insulation of the pipes must be re-
sistant to temperatures until 100 °C.
Water supply
ATTENTION
Risk of damage to the plant if water supply
is not of suitable quality.
Note: Impurities in the inlet water can dam-
age the unit. Kärcher recommends a water
filter with a mesh width of < 80 μm.
Quality requirements for tap water:
pH value
electrical conductivity
removable materials
filterable materials (grain
size below 0.025 mm)
Hydrocarbons
Chloride
Calcium
Total hardness
Iron
Manganese
Copper
free of bad odours
* Test volume 1litre, Settling time 30 min-
utes
** decalcification measures are necessary
if the values are higher
 The water inlet is to be connected to the
main water supply using a water hose.
– The water supply must have a minimum
output of 4000 l/h for HDC 40/XX,
6000 l/h for HDC 60/XX, 8000 l/h for
HDC 80/XX at minimum 0.15 MPa.
– Appliances without prepressure pump:
The water temperature must lie below
60 °C.
– Machines with prepressure pump: The
water temperature must lie below 85
°C.
Note: Operating procedures create short
term power sinkings. During unfavorable
net conditions other devices might be dis-
turbed.
ATTENTION
The highest allowed net impedance at the
electrical connection point (refer to techni-
cal data) is not to be exceeded. In case of
confusion regarding the power impedance
present on your connection, please contact
your utilities provider.
– For connection values, see technical
data and type plate.
– The electrical connections must be
done by an electrician according to IEC
60364-1.
– Current-carrying parts, cables and ap-
pliances in the working area must be in-
stalled in a defectless state and must be
protected against water sprays.
DANGER
To avoid accidents due to electrical faults
we recommend the use of sockets with a
line-side current-limiting circuit breaker
(max. 30 mA nominal tripping current).
