Symbols on the machine

High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly
used. The jet may not be di-
rected at persons, animals, live electri-
cal equipment or at the appliance itself.
According to the applicable
regulations, the appliance
must never be used on the
drinking water supply without a system
separator. Use a suitable system sep-
arator manufactured by KÄRCHER; or,
as an alternative, a system separator
as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water flow-
ing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator
to the water supply, never directly to
the appliance!
Use the devices exclusively for
Cleaning using low pressure jet and
–
detergent (for e.g. for cleaning ma-
chines, cars, buildings, tools),
For cleaning using high pressure jet
–
without detergent (for e.g. for clean-
ing facades, terraces, garden appli-
ances).
For stubborn dirt, we recommend the

cessory.
