Operation
!
Serious danger!
Vehicle tyres and tyre valves can be damaged by
the high-pressure jet and become perforated. The
first sign of this is a discoloration of the tyre. When
cleaning them maintain a distance of at least 30 cm.
Never grasp the power plug with wet hands.
Before each use check the power cord and power
plug for damage. Have a damaged power cord re-
placed immediately by an authorized Kärcher ser-
vice point or an electrical specialist.
Before each use check the high-pressure hose for
damage. Replace a damaged high-pressure hose
immediately.
!
Danger of injury!
Owing to the water jet emerging from the high-pres-
sure nozzle a recoil force operates on the handgun.
Ensure you have a secure footing and hold the hand-
gun and spray lance firmly.
If necessary wear protective clothing for protection
against return spray.
