PRESSURE WASHER

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A KARCHER

PRESSURE WASHER

PLEASE READ THIS LEAFLET CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MACHINE.

WHAT IS A PRESSURE WASHER?

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.

A Karcher Pressure Washer can be used for an endless list of applications

around the home and garden. It provides an efficient, economical and

labour saving way of cleaning with e cellent results.

All Karcher domestic pressure washers are designed to run from a

suitable cold water supply although some models will accept a water inlet

temperature of between 40 °C and 60 °C.

Environmental Comment - Save water with high pressure.

The Karcher Pressure Washer is environmentally friendly enabling you

to reduce your water consumption compared to a normal garden hose.

A definite advantage with a metered water supply

with the added benefit of suction mode, water can be drawn from an

open container such as a water butt.

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 e tension lines are not

damaged 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 e tension 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

series connected residual current operated device (rated breaking

current ma . 30 mA).

Warning: Inappropriate e tension lines may be dangerous. If you

work outside, only use e tension 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 e tension line must be waterproof.

 Always unwind the e tension line completely from the cable drum.
