2.1 Operating with high pressure

Start the engine while observing the engine
l
manufacturer's operating instructions.
Release the safety catch on the hand gun, and
l
press the lever.
l The working pressure can be continuously adjus-
ted by turning the outer shell of the spray lance
(+/-).

2.2 Operating with detergent

Set the lowest working pressure with the spray
l
lance. No detergent can be drawn in with a high
working pressure.
Hang the detergent suction hose into the deter-
l
gent reservoir (not supplied with the unit).
l To protect the environment, we recommend to
use detergents sparingly. Observe the metering
and/or mixing instructions provided on the pack-
aging labels of the detergent supply containers.
By offering you an individualised range of clea-
l
ning and preserving agents, Kärcher guarantees
trouble-free operation of the unit. Request more
information or ask for our catalogue and/or indivi-
dual information brochures on specific detergents.

We recommend the following cleaning method:
Step 1: Pre-soaking the area to be cleaned.
Spray the detergent sparingly onto the area to be
cleaned and allow to soak for 1 – 4 minutes.
Step 2: Cleaning step
Using the high-pressure jet, flush the area clean.
l After using a detergent, the unit should be flushed
with clean water. To do this, hang the detergent
suction hose into a container filled with clean
water, and operate the pump for approximately
1 minute.

2.3 Work interruptions

To prevent damage caused by overheating water,
l
switch OFF the pump during work breaks that are
longer than 15 minutes.
2.4 Switching OFF the unit
After operating the unit with water having a high
l
saline content (i.e., sea water), the unit should be
flushed for 2 – 3 minutes with tap water while the
handgun is open.
Set the throttle to the STOP position.
l
Close the water supply valve and unscrew the
l
water supply line from the water inlet of the unit.
l Actuate the handgun trigger until the unit is no
longer pressurised.
Prevent inadvertent opening of the handgun trig-
l
ger by locking it with the safety catch.
