Warning

Danger of damage from ice forming in the 
plant. The water must be drained from the 
system and the supply line when there is a 
danger of frost. The circulation routes for 
customers using the washing plant must re-
main slip-resistant (e.g. using underfloor 
heating, gravel).

Caution

Increased risk of corrosion by using inap-
propriate detergents.
The following detergents must not be proc-
essed by the installation:

detergents intended for the cleaning of 
the wash hall.

detergents intended for the exterior 
cleaning of the washing system.

Acid-containing detergents.

Detergents which are applied to the ve-
hicle by a separate device (such as rim 
cleaners).

Detergents to treat wastewater.

Only use KÄRCHER-approved detergents.

The system is shut down at the control pan-
el. In some countries, the law demands that 
the driver leaves the vehicle during the 
washing process. Please enquire and fol-
low the regulations applicable at the instal-
lation site. Entering the plant is prohibited 
during the washing process.

Warning

Damage to property! Failure to keep to the 
vehicle size limits can cause damage to the 
vehicle and the plant.

The portal washing system must not be 
used to clean vehicles that cannot be 
washed with the brush, i.e. for special vehi-
cles.
These vehicles, however, can be washed 
without a brush with the high pressure 
wash option.
Special vehicles, i.e. vehicles with special 
attachments, such as

Rubbish vehicles

Dump truck

Tankers and silo vehicles

Vehicles with roof attachments, which 
protrude over the windshield in the front

can only be washed with manual interven-
tion.
Should the above-stated instruction not be 
observed, the vehicle wash plant owner is 
not liable for any resulting

injury to persons

damage to property

injury to animals. 

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

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.

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.

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 appliances or 
units.

All current-conducting parts in the working 
area must be protected against jet water.

Plants must only be connected to proper 
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

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 operate the 
plant, then the stipulations of the manufacturer 
of the water treatment plant on germination in-
hibition must be observed.

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.

An uncontrolled restart of the plant following 
power failure is ruled out because of con-
struction measures that have been taken.

The locally valid regulations on waste water 
disposal are to be observed.

In order to ensure a safe operation of the 
plant and to prevent dangers during mainte-
nance, monitoring and inspection, the corre-
sponding instructions have to adhered to. 

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 plant must be switched 
off and secured against against any unin-
tentional and unauthorised restart before 
maintenance and servicing can be carried 
out. Air pressure containers and air pres-
sure lines continue to be remain under 
pressure also after the plant has been 
switched off. It is absolutely necessary to 
get rid of pressure before starting work on 
the plant. Then check for the absence of 
pressure on the manometer at the mainte-
nance unit.
Risk of injury from high-pressure water jet 
unexpectedly emerging. The high pressure 
system continues to remain under pressure 
also after the plant has been switched off. It 
is absolutely necessary to remove all pres-
sure in the high-pressure system before 
starting work on the plant.

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:

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 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.

Workstation

Non-intended use

Sources of danger

General dangers

Danger of explosion

Damage to hearing

Electrical dangers

Danger from substances that are harm-
ful to health

Danger from power failure

Danger to the environment from waste 
water 

Maintenance and monitoring
