Detergents to treat wastewater.
–
Only use KÄRCHER-approved detergents.
Workstation
The system is held on to with both hands at
the handle and dragged along the vehicle.
Here, you must activate the respective
safety switch for the brush with one hand.
Non-intended use
Caution
Risk of damage! The RBS 6000 is only suit-
able for the cleaning of vehicles with
straight, smooth side walls, whose incline is
smaller than 10°.
The operator of this cleaning system is lia-
ble for all damages incurred by improper
use; this applies specifically to the cleaning
of vehicles that are not listed in these in-
structions.
Sources of danger
General dangers
Danger
Risk of eye injuries from leaking air pres-
sure. The pneumatic parts of the plant still
remain under high air pressure after the
main switch or emergency switch has been
switched off.
Risk of injury from parts flying off! Flying-off
fragments or objects can injure people or
animals. Therefore the hall floors must be
kept clear of loose objects lying around.
Danger of explosion
Danger
Risk of explosion! The plant must not be
operated in the near to rooms that are ex-
posed to danger of explosion. Excepted
from this are only plants that are explicitly
intended and designated. No explosive,
highly ignitable or poisonous substances
must be used, as e.g.:
petrol
–
heating oil and diesel fuel
–
solvents
–
liquids containing solvents
–
non-diluted acid
–
acetone
–
If you are unsure, ask the manufacturer.
Damage to hearing
The noises emitted by the plant are not
dangerous. However, if parts that amplify
sound are shot blasted, it can give rise to
higher noise levels. If so, wear ear plugs.
Electrical dangers
Danger
Risk of electric shock.
Never touch electrical cables, plug con-
–
nections and terminal boxes with wet
hands.
Electrical connecting leads or extension
–
cables must not be damaged through
being driven over, crushed, or pulled or
the like. Protect the power cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
With mobile cleaning devices (e.g. with
–
high-pressure cleaners) the water jet
must never be aimed at electrical appli-
ances or units.
All current-conducting parts in the work-
–
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
Plants must only be connected to prop-
–
er earthed power sources.
All work on electrical parts of the plant
–
must be carried out only by a qualified
electrician.
Accessories that are not directly con-
–
nected to the system, must be integrat-
ed into the equipotential bonding.
Danger from substances that are harm-
ful to health
Danger
The detergents used contain partly sub-
stances that are harmful to health; there-
fore it is absolutely necessary to observe
the enclosed or printed instructions.
Do not drink the water emitted from the
plant! There is no drinking water quality
present due to the mixed detergents.
Should processed water be used to oper-
ate the plant, then the stipulations of the
manufacturer of the water treatment plant
on germination inhibition must be ob-
served.
Substances which do not generally occur
usually in the exterior cleaning of vehicles
(e.g. chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides,
radioactive materials, faeces or epidemic
matter) must not reach the wash plant.
Danger from power failure
An uncontrolled restart of the plant follow-
ing power failure is ruled out because of
construction measures that have been tak-
en.
The brush will only turn if a safety switch is
activated.
Danger to the environment from waste
water
The locally valid regulations on waste water
disposal are to be observed.
Maintenance and monitoring
In order to ensure a safe operation of the
plant and to prevent dangers during main-
tenance, monitoring and inspection, the
corresponding instructions have to adhered
to.
Maintenance
Maintenance work must be carried out by a
specialist at regular intervals in accordance
with the specifications of the manufacturer.
The existing stipulations and safety re-
quirements are to be here observed. Work
on the electrical plant may only be carried
out by qualified electricians.
Danger
Risk of injury. The system must be
switched off and secured against against
any unintentional and unauthorised restart
before maintenance and servicing can be
carried out.
Monitoring
This vehicle wash plant must be inspected
for its safe operational state before being
put into operation and afterwards at least
half-yearly by a specialist. The scope of this
inspection specifically includes:
2
-
EN
visible inspection for externally recog-
–
nisable wear and damage respectively
Function test
–
completeness and effectivity of safety
–
installations for self-operation plants
daily before start of operation, for mon-
itored plants according to requirements
but at least once monthly.
Use original parts.
Use exclusively original parts of the manu-
facturer or those parts recommended by
him as otherwise claims made under the
warranty will be rendered void. Observe all
instructions on safety and use which are
accompany these parts. This concerns:
replacement and wear parts
–
accessories
–
Fuel
–
detergents.
–
Emergency stop button
Danger
Risk of accident due to defective safety
equipment! The system is equipped with an
emergency off switch and two "brush safety
switches".
Safety equipment must be checked for
proper function as needed, but at least
once a month.
