Danger
– Danger of crushing by the interior clean-
er. Only use the interior cleaner's drive
in closed containers.
– Danger of injury by high pressure jet -
therefore only use interior cleaner inside
closed containers.
– Health hazards posed by residue in
containers that are cleaned or by the

pling over at low submerge depth. In
this case, the interior cleaner must be
supported.
– Risk of injury by toppling container -
therefore use extra support for contain-
er and interior cleaner.

when using hot cleaning liquids. When
operating with hot cleaning liquids, do
not touch the rack and supply lines and
wear protective clothing.

startup after the system power has been
interrupted. In case of interferences,
turn off the drive of the interior cleaner
as well as the high pressure pump.

ing agents and residue in the containers.
Please contact Kärcher in such cases to
find out, how the respective cleaning
agents should be used.
