Starting • Do not simply discard the packing materials with the house-hold waste. Take the packing materials to the appropriate collection areas for recycling. • Dirt in the feed water could lead to the appliance being damaged. To avoid this risk, we recommend fitting a filter with 3/4" connection . • If you are using an extension cable, it should always be completely unwound from the cable drum and have a sufficient cross-sectional area. Cable length max.
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 trigger of the gun during operation but only prevents it from opening unintentionally. • To avoid any risk of damage to the surface beeing cleaned, when the machine is in use, it is recommended that a minimum distance of 300 mm be kept between the surface and the spray nozzle.
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 cleaning and preserving agents, Kärcher guarantees 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.
Switching OFF • The appliance should be rinsed clean after detergent 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.
