Please read and comply with these origi-
nal operating instructions prior to the ini-
tial operation and store them for later use
or subsequent owners.
General information on the operation
The PS 40 Power Scrubber can be used with all
KÄRCHER high-pressure cleaners (starting with year of
manufacture 1992) up to a pressure of 18 Mpa (180 bar
/ 2300 psi).
The PS 40 is ideally suited for the high-pressure clean-
ing and scrubbing of stairs and smooth floor surfaces
outside (e.g. wooden or stone floors, clinker, tiles, con-
crete) as well as of floor surfaces with a water discharge
inside (e.g. wash-room, garage).
This attachment has been designed for use in private
households and is not intended for commercial use.

Safety instructions

 Please observe the safety instructions of your high
pressure cleaner.
 Only trigger the high-pressure jet at the high-pres-
sure gun if the PS 40 is located on the surface to be
cleaned.
There must be no persons in the immediate vicinity

of the cleaning head.
 Beware of the recoil force! Ensure a stable position
and firmly hold on to the high pressure gun with the
extension tube.
 Switch off the high-pressure cleaner when you fin-
ish cleaning. If you are using the PS 40, then dis-
connect the same from the high-pressure gun.
Maximum water temperature 60 °C (please ob-

serve the instructions of your high pressure clean-
er).
