Safety Notes
Before first use of the unit read these operating
instructions and act in accordance with them.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place
for later use or for a subsequent owner.
Use of the unit as authorized
Use this unit exclusively for non-industrial
purposes
– for cleaning machines, vehicles, buildings,
tools, facades, terraces, garden implements,
etc., with high-pressure water jet (if necessary
with the addition of cleaning agents).
– for cleaning vehicle engines only in locations
equipped with an appropriate oil separator.
– with accessories, replacement parts and
cleaning agents authorized by Kärcher.
Please comply with instructions supplied with

General safety notes
Never permit children and adolescents
to handle the unit.
Never leave the unit unattended whilst the
master switch is switched on.
Never operate the unit in potentially explosive
spaces.

 Safety Notes
Warning signs on the unit
Never direct the high-pressure
jet at human beings, animals,
the unit itself or at electrical
parts.
Safety devices
Safety devices serve to protect against injuries
and must not be changed or circumvented.
Relief valve with pressure switch
When the lever on the handgun is released the
pressure switch switches off the pump and the
high-pressure jet ceases. When the lever is
pulled the pressure switch switches on the pump
again.
Moreover, the relief valve prevents the
permissible operating pressure from being
exceeded.
Safety button
The safety button on the handgun prevents
inadvertent switching on of the unit.
