EN
- This system transports water from the
preswitched storage container to the
down-the-line high pressure units with
high pressure. This system is perma-
nently installed in a room. There must
be a water and a power connection pre-
sent according to the details provided in
the technical specifications. The control
of this system is a site-supplied central
control. This also controls the coordina-
tion of the pump with the other system
components. The high pressure water
is distributed through a fixed network of
pipes.
- Risk of explosion! This system must not
be operated in rooms that run the risk of
explosions.
- The room temperature at the installa-
tion site should not exceed 40 °C.
- Only clean water may be used as high
pressure medium. Impurities will lead to
increased wear and tear or formation of
deposits in the appliance.
- Above 15 °dH, measures for hardness
reduction may become necessary.
- The use of recycled water must be pre-
arranged with Kärcher in advance.
DANGER

regulations when operating at gas stations
or other dangerous areas.
Please do not let mineral oil contaminated
waste water reach soil, water or the sew-
age system. Perform engine cleaning and
