Preparing the Appliance
Selecting the high pressure nozzles
You need to use the matching high pressure nozzles to
ensure that your high pressure cleaner works properly.
Note:
Nominal pressure (p): See Operating Instructions or
type plate of your high pressure cleaner.
High-pressure cleaner with nominal pressure (p) of
13 MPa (130 bar) to 16 MPa (160 bar)
e.g.: K 6 – K 7, Kärcher 600 – Kärcher 770
Use yellow high-pressure nozzles.
Note:
The yellow high-pressure nozzles have already
been installed.
High-pressure cleaner with nominal voltage (p)
lesser than 13 MPa (130 bar)
e.g.: K 4 – K 5, Kärcher 201 – Kärcher 560
Use grey high-pressure nozzles.
Changing the high pressure nozzles
Illustration
1
Loosen the safety clamp with a screwdriver.
2
Remove the protective grid.
3
Remove the clip.
4
Pull out the yellow high-pressure nozzle.
5
Insert the grey high-pressure nozzle.
6
Reinsert the clip.
7
Mount the protective grid on the pin.
8
Push the safety clamp in until it locks.
Application
Note: Always use Kärcher water filter (order no. 4.730-
059.0) during suction operations of the high-pressure
cleaner.
Cleaning floor surfaces
Fasten the T-Racer to the high-pressure gun using the
extension pipes.
Illustration
1
Press the extension pipe into the bayonet catch of
the T-Racer.
2
Turn it by 90° until it locks into place.
3
Tighten the union nut.
Repeat this process even for the other joints.
Adjust the twist grip "Power" in accordance with the
surface to be cleaned.

Tips for cleaning
Outdoor surfaces should be swept before the T-
Racer is used to avoid damaging the high-pressure
nozzles.
Prior to use on sensitive surfaces (e.g. wooden sur-
faces), test the product on an imperceptible spot, in
order to promptly detect any changes in the sur-
face.
The T-Racer is not suited for scouring or scrubbing!
Guide the T-Racer over the surface without effort.
Do not remain at one spot; always keep moving
during cleaning.
CAUTION
Do not run over protruding corners!
Illustration
Cleaning wall surfaces
Fasten the T-Racer directly to the high-pressure gun.
1
Press the bayonet connection of the T-Racer into
the connection of the high-pressure gun, then turn
by 90° until it locks into place.
2
Tighten the union nut.
Adjust the twist grip "Power" in accordance with the
surface to be cleaned.
CAUTION
Always hold the T-Racer at the handle while cleaning
the walls.
Illustration
"Power" turning handle
The turning handle "power" is used to change the dis-
tance of the high-pressure nozzles to the surface to be
cleaned.
Illustration
Sturdy surfaces (e.g. tiles, concrete, stone)
Set turning handle "power" to "HARD".
For the effective cleaning of hard-to-remove con-
tamination.
Sensitive surfaces (e.g. wood)
Set turning handle "power" to "SOFT".
For the gentle cleaning of sensitive surfaces.
Foot pedal for surface cleaning
Illustration
For normal surface cleaning, operate the foot
switch for surface cleaning (a).
A water stream will be emitted from the two high-
pressure nozzles in the rotor arm.
Foot pedal for edge cleaning
Illustration
For edge and corner cleaning, operate the foot
switch for edge cleaning (b).
A water stream will be emitted from green high-
pressure nozzle.
Note
In order to achieve the optimum cleaning result, guide
the T-Racer along the corners.
