✿

Do not simply discard the packing materials

with the house-hold waste. Take the packing

materials to the appropriate collection areas for

recycling.

Impurities in the intake water damage the pump.

To prevent this we expressly urge you to use the

Kärcher water filter (order no. 4.730-059).

The operation of the high-pressure cleaner with

a closed water supply line causes damage to the

cylinder head unit.

Please never operate the

high-pressure cleaner with a closed water sup-

ply tap.

If you are using an extension cable, it should

always be completely unwound from the cable

drum and have a sufficient cross-sectional area

(10 m = 1,5 mm², 30m = 2,5 mm²).

Operation with high pressure

The appliance is equipped with a pressure-

operated switch. The motor starts only if the

lever of the gun is pulled.

The safety ratchet does not lock the lever of the

gun during operation but only prevents it from

opening unintentionally.

Operation with Detergent

✿

We recommend that you use detergent

sparingly for the sake of the environment.

Observe the recommended dosage on the

detergent label.

By offering you an individualised range of clea-

ning and preserving agents, Kärcher guaran-

tees trouble-free operation of the unit. Request

more information or ask for our catalogue and/or

individual information brochures on specific

detergents.

• Profi RM 555 ASF, Universal cleaner

This cleaning agent may be used undiluted.

• Profi RM 555 ULTRA, Universal cleaner

• Profi RM 555 ULTRA, Automotive cleaner

• Profi RM 565 ULTRA, House and garden cleaner

• Profi RM 575 ULTRA, Boat cleaner

Before using, these cleaning agents must be

diluted with 9 parts of water (1:9).

We recommend the following cleaning methods:

Step 1: Loosening dirt

Spray on detergent sparingly and allow to react

for a short time.

Step 2: Removing dirt

Spray off the loosened dirt with the high-

pressure spray.

Switching Off

The appliance should be rinsed clean after de-

tergent has been used. To do this, suspend the

detergent suction hose in a container of clean

water, and run the pump for approx. 1 minute.

Pull the trigger until there is no more pressure in

the appliance, and secure the trigger with the

safety ratchet against unintentional opening.

Frost will destroy an appliance which has not

been completely emptied of water. Ideally, the

appliance should be stored in a frost-free room.

Troubleshooting

! Note: Disconnect the appliance from the

power mains before all repair work.

Appliance does not Work

- Check whether the voltage shown on the rating

plate corresponds to that of the power source.

-Check the connector cable for damage.

Appliance does not reach Operational Pressure

-Vent the appliance:Allow the pump to operate

without the high-pressure hose until water

appears at the high-pressure outlet without any

more bubbles.Then reattach the high-pressure

hose.

-Clean the strainer in the water connection.

-Check the inlet water flow rate.

-Check all inlet pipes to the pump for leaks or

block-age.

Strong Pressure Fluctuations

-Clean the high-pressure nozzle. Remove dirt

from the nozzle hole with a needle and then

rinse out with water from the front.

Pump Leaks

-10 drops per minute are permissible. In the

case of more serious leakage, you should

contact the authorized customer service.

No Detergent Suction

- Clean the detergent suction hose with filter, and

check for leaks.

Spare Parts

A selection of the most common spare parts

numbers is listed at the end of these operating

instructions.

Guarantee

The terms and conditions of guarantee issued

by a national Kärcher Company are valid in the

relevant country.

If the appliance malfunctions in any way, the fault

will be rectified free of charge within the period

of the guarantee provided the malfunction is due

the terms and conditions are met.

General Information

Purpose

Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles,

buildings, tools etc.

Clean facades, terrasses, garden equipment

etc. without detergent only with the high-

pressure spray.

✿

Cleaning with the use of a high-pressure cle-

aner brings an 85% reduction in the consumpti-

on of fresh water.

✿

Cleaning tasks which produce waste water

mixed with oil – e.g. when washing engines or

the undersides of vehicles – should only be car-

ried out at a specific washing point that is equip-

ped with an oil separator.

Safety Equipment

When the spary gun is closed, the overflow val-

ve switches off the appliance via a pressure-

operated switch. The overflow valve is also a

safety device against exceeding the maximum

allowable working pressure.

Disposal of old equipment

In the development of this appliance careful at-

tention has been given to its ability to be easily

recycled. Nevertheless, it contains parts or sub-

stances which should not go into the household

rubbish. You can obtain information from any

Kärcher sales house about disposal facilities

which protect the environment.
