IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

English 5

BEFORE SERVICING, CLEANING

OR REMOVING ANY PARTS,

SHUT OFF POWER AND RELIEVE

PRESSURE.

IF CONNECTION IS MADE TO A

POTABLE WATER SYSTEM, THE

SYSTEM SHALL BE PROTECTED

AGAINST BACKFLOW.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it

should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resi-

stance for electric current to reduce the

risk of electric shock. This product is

equipped with a cord having an equip-

ment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must be plug-

ged into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in ac-

cordance with all local codes and ordi-

nances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electrocution. Check with a qualified

electrician or service personnel if you

are in doubt as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided with the product - if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-

stalled by a qualified electrician. Do not

use any type of adapter with this pro-

duct.

This product is provided with a ground-

fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into

the plug of the power-supply cord. This

device provides additional protection

from the risk of electric shock.

Should replacement of the plug or cord

become necessary, use only identical

replacement parts that include GFCI

protection.

Contact Kärcher Customer Support.

CAUTION

When connecting the water inlet to the

water supply mains, local regulations of

your water company must be observed.

In some areas the unit must not be con-

nected directly to the public drinking

water supply. This is to ensure that

there is no feedback of chemicals into

the water supply. Direct connection via

a receiver tank or backflow preventer,

for example, is permitted.

Dirt in the feed water will damage the

unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend

fitting a water filter.

Garden hose must be at least 5/8

inch in diameter.

Flow rate of water supply must not

fall below 2 GPM (gallons per

minute).

Flow rate can be determined by run-

ning the water for one minute into an

empty 5-gallon container.

The water supply temperature must

not exceed 104°F/40°C.

Never use the pressure washer to

draw in water contaminated with sol-

vents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,

oil, etc.

Always prevent debris from being

drawn into the unit by using a clean

water source.

ply to surface at low pressure. For best

results, limit your work area to smaller

sections of approximately 25 square

feet. Allow Deck Wash to remain on

surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow de-

tergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high

pressure in a long sweeping motion

keeping the spray nozzle approximately

3-6 inches from the cleaning surface.

from left to right. When moving on to a

new section of the cleaning surface, be

sure to overlap the previous section to

eliminate stop marks and ensure a

more even cleaning result.

GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES.

Este producto se tiene que poner a tier-

ra. Si funcionase mal o si se rompiese,

la puesta a tierra proporcionaría una

circuito menos resistente a la energía

eléctrica para reducir el riesgo de elec-

trochoque. Este producto está equipa-

do con un cable que tiene un conductor

a tierra y un enchufe a tierra para el

equipo. El enchufe se tiene que

enchufar a un tomacorriente adecuado,

que esté correctamente instalado y

puesto a tierra conforme a todas las

normas y reglamentos locales.

PELIGRO

Si la conexión del conductor a tierra del

equipo es incorrecta puede existir ries-

go de electrochoque. En caso de duda,

compruebe con ayuda de un electrici-

sta cualificado o del personal del ser-

vicio técnico que el tomacorriente está

correctamente puesto a tierra. No mo-

difique el enchufe proporcionado con el

producto; si no encaja en el tomacorri-

ente, pida a un electricista cualificado

que le instale un tomacorriente adecua-

do. No utilice ningún tipo de adaptador

con este producto.

Este producto se suministra con un in-

terruptor de circuito de avería por pues-

ta a tierra montado en el enchufe del

cable de potencia. Este aparato propor-

ciona una protección adicional contra el

riesgo de electrochoque. Si la corriente

se interrumpe en la línea, el interruptor

de circuito de avería por puesta a tierra

volverá a cerrar, automáticamente, el

circuito a la carga una vez restablecida

la corriente. En función del modelo de

interruptor, puede que sea necesario

tener que poner en funcionamiento el

aparato manualmente mediante el bo-

tón de reinicio para restaurar la corrien-

te del circuito de carga del interruptor

de circuito de avería por puesta a tierra.

Si es necesario reemplazar el enchufe

o el cable, utilice piezas idénticas.

ATENCIÓN

Al conectar la toma de agua a la red de

suministro del agua, es obligatorio res-

petar la normativa local establecida por

la compañía del agua. En algunas zo-

nas, está prohibido conectar la unidad

directamente a la red pública de sumi-

nistro de agua potable. Esto es así para

garantizar que no penetren sustancias

químicas en la red de suministro del

agua. Sí se permite efectuar la

conexión directamente por ejemplo a

través de un depósito receptor o un dis-

positivo antirretorno.

Si el agua de alimentación está sucia,

la unidad sufrirá daños. Para evitar este

riesgo, le recomendamos que monte un

filtro de agua.

La manguera de agua tiene que te-

ner al menos 5/8 pulgadas de diá-

metro.

El caudal de agua no debe ser infe-

rior a 2 GPM (galones por minuto).

El caudal de agua se puede deter-

minar llenando de agua un recipien-

te vacío de 5 galones durante un

minuto.

La temperatura de la toma de agua

no de be sobrepasar los 104°F/

40°C.

No utilice nunca el limpiador a pre-

sión para aspirar agua contaminada

con disolventes como, p. ej., di-

luyentes de pintura, gasolina, acei-

te, etc.

Evite siempre que la unidad aspire

residuos utilizando una fuente de

abastecimiento cuya agua esté lim-

pia.
