Operation
Danger
The trigger gun is subjected to a recoil force
when the water jet is discharged. Make
sure that you have a firm footing and are
also holding the trigger gun and spray lance
firmly.
Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.
Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the
device will switch on.
Spray lance with pressure regulation
Carrying out the most common cleaning
tasks. The work pressure can be stageless-
ly regulated between "Min" and "Max".
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Turn the spray lance to the desired po-
sition.
Spray lance with Dirtblaster
For particularly dirty items or areas.
Not suitable for use with detergents.
Working with detergent
Please use exclusively KÄRCHER deter-
gents and care products to carry out the re-
spective cleaning task, as these were
specifically developed for your appliance.
The use of other detergents and care prod-
ucts may lead to premature wear and can
invalidate your warranty claims. Please ob-
tain information at your local dealer or re-
quest information directly from KÄRCHER.
Use spray lance with pressure regula-
tion (Vario Power).
Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position.
Note: This will mix the detergent with
the water stream.
Suspend end of detergent suction hose
in a container filled with detergent.
Recommended cleaning method
Spray the detergent sparingly on the
dry surface and allow it to react, but not
to dry.
Spray off loosened dirt with the high-
pressure jet.
Interrupting operation
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Note:When the lever of the hand spray
gun is released, the engine continues to
run at zero speed. The water thus circu-
lates within the pump and gets heated.
When the water has reached the maxi-
mum permissible temperature (60°C),
the themostat valve opens and water
flows out.
