Proper Use; Safety Devices; Environmental Protection - Kärcher HD 6/15 CX Bedienungsanleitung

Symbols on the machine
High-pressure jets can be dan-
gerous if improperly used. The
jet may not be directed at persons, animals,
live electrical equipment or at the appliance
itself.
According to the applicable regu-
lations, the appliance must never
be used on the drinking water net
without a system separator. Use a suitable
system separator manufactured by Kärch-
er; or, as an alternative, a system separator
as per EN 12729 Type BA.
Water flowing through a system separator
is considered non-drinkable.

Proper use

Use this high pressure cleaner exclusively for
– Cleaning using low pressure jet and de-
tergent (for e.g. for cleaning machines,
cars, buildings, tools),
– For cleaning using high pressure jet
without detergent (for e.g. for cleaning
facades, terraces, garden appliances).
For stubborn dirt, we recommend the use of
the dirt blaster as a special accessory.
Quality requirements for water:
ATTENTION
Only clean water may be used as high
pressure medium. Impurities will lead to in-
creased wear and tear or formation of de-
posits in the appliance.
If recycled water is used, the following limit
values must not be exceeded.

Safety Devices

Overflow valve with pressure switch
While reducing the water supply/quantity
regulation at the pump head, the overflow
valve opens and part of the water flows
back to the pump suck side.
If the pulling lever on the trigger gun is re-
leased the pressure switch turns off the
pump, the high-pressure jet is stopped. If
the pulling lever is pulled the pump is
turned on again.
Safety valve (only HD 7/18)
The safety valve opens when the permissi-
ble operating pressure is exceeded; water
flows back to the suction side of the pump.
The overflow valve, pressure switch and
safety valve are set and sealed at the fac-
tory.
Setting only by customer service.
