A Pressure Washer is essentially a powerful electric motor driving a set

of pistons that force water through a small nozzle, thus creating a

pressurised jet of water. This provides the cleaning power behind the

Karcher Pressure Washer.

Electrical Connection

Never use defect connection or extension lines! If the connection line

is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection line that is

available from the manufacturer or his customer service.

Please make sure that the connection or extension lines are not da-

maged by being ran over, pulled or dragged. Protect the connection

lines from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.

The connection between connection line and extension line must not

lie in the water.

All current-carrying components within the working area must be jet-

proof.

- The appliance may only be connected to an electrical connection that

was performed by an electrician according to IEC 60364.

- Only connect the appliance to alternating current. The voltage must

comply with the voltage specified on the typeplate.

- To avoid electric accidents, we recommend to use sockets with a se-

ries connected residual current operated device (rated breaking cur-

rent max. 30 mA).

-Warning: Inappropriate extension lines may be dangerous. If you

work outside, only use extension lines that are approved and specifi-

cally labelled and provide of a sufficient conductor cross section:

1 to 10 m: 1.5 mm² 10 to 30 m: 2.5 mm²

- The plug and the coupling of an extension line must be waterproof.

- Always unwind the extension line completely from the cable drum.
