Kärcher HD 5/11 Cage, Manual

– 2

– Minimum fuse strength of the socket 

(see Technical Data).

– Safety class I - Appliances may only be 

connected to sockets with proper earth-
ing. 

– It is recommended that you connect this 

device to a socket that has a 30 mA pro-
tection switch against wrong currents.

– Please use the mains cable prescribed 

by the manufacturer; the same is also 
applicable when you replace the ca-
bles. See Operating Instructions Manu-
al for Order Number and Type.

– Check the power cord with mains plug 

for damage before every use. If the 
power cord is damaged, please arrange 
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled 
electrician.

– The appliance may only be connected 

to an electrical supply which has been 
installed by an electrician in accordance 
with IEC 60364.

– Operating procedures create short term 

power sinkings.

– During unfavorable net conditions other 

devices might be disturbed.

– Never touch the mains plug with wet 

hands.

– Make sure that the power cord or exten-

sion cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar. 
Protect the cable from heat, oil, and 
sharp edges.

– The extension cable must have the 

cross-section listed in the circuit plan 
and be protected against spraying wa-
ter. The connection must not lie in wa-
ter.

– The mains plug and the coupling of an 

extension cable must be watertight and 
must never lie in water. Moreover, the 
coupling may never lie on the ground. 
The use of cable reels that ensure that 
the sockets are at least 60 mm above 
the ground is recommended.

– Unsuitable electrical extension cables 

can be hazardous. Only use electrical 
extension cables outdoors which have 

been approved and labelled for this pur-
pose and have an adequate cable 
cross-section.

– The power cord must be checked regu-

larly for damages, such as cracks or ag-
ing. If damage is found, the cable must 
be replaced before further use.

– If couplings of the power cord or exten-

sion cable are replace the splash pro-
tection and the mechanical tightness 
must be ensured.

– Do not clean the appliance with a water 

hose or high-pressure water jet (danger 
of short circuits or other damage).

– Do not operate the appliance at temper-

atures below 0 °C.

– Please observe the safety instructions 

of your water supply authority.

– Please ensure that screw connections 

of all hoses are not leaky.

– The high pressure hose must not be 

damaged. A damaged high pressure 
hose must be replaced immediately. 
Only hoses and joints recommended by 
the manufacturer may be used. See 
Operating Instructions Manual for Order 
Number.

– The appliance and its working equip-

ment must be checked to ensure that it 
is in proper working order and is operat-
ing safely prior to use.
The appliance must not be used if a 
connecting line or important parts of the 
appliance, e.g. safety devices, high-
pressure hoses, spray guns, are dam-
aged.

– Never draw in fluids containing solvents 

or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating 
oil. The spray mist thus generated is 
highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted 
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which 
the appliance is made.
