3.2.5 Fine Adjustment of the Operating
Pressures
In case of alterations to the system adjustments, the following values must not be exceeded under any circum­stances:
• Pump pressure, max. 21 bar (MP) or 14 bar (LP)
• Drinking water amount, max. 650 l/h
• The concentrate amount must not ex­ceed the operational start-up value
The system reacts somewhat time­delayed to alterations of the regulation
i
valves. Therefore carry out the adjust­ment at the pressure control valve (14) and at the concentrate control valve (13) only in small steps, and wait until checking the respective effect.
(1) Flow of drinking water has decreased
from _____ to _____ l/h
Read off the amount of drinking water at the flow meter (42) and compare with the value taken when starting operation (see operational start-up record).
If the flow of drinking water has de­creased to _____ l/h , the following fine adjustment is to be carried out. If the fine adjustment does not lead to an increase in the drinking water flow, the Kärcher Service must be con­tacted.
• Slowly shut the pressure control valve (14) in clockwise direction until the desired amount is almost reached at the flow meter (42).
• Slowly shut the concentrate control valve (13) in clockwise direction until the respective set value is reached on both flow meters for con­centrate (43) and drinking water (42).
Notice: The quantity of concentrate will in­crease. This is correct.
• Carry out a readjustment on both valve levers, if required.

(2) Conducting capacity of the drinking
water has increased from _____ to _____ µS/cm
Small increases of the drinking water conducting capacity do not influence
i
the drinking water quality.
On the display of the control panel (10), read the current drinking water conductance value and compare with the value taken when starting oper­ation (see operational start-up record).
If the drinking water conductance value has increased to _____ µS/cm, the follow­ing fine adjustment is to be carried out. If the fine adjustment does not lead to a decrease of the drinking water con­ductance value, the Kärcher Service must be contacted.
• Open the concentrate control valve (13) in coun­terclockwise direction in small steps until the con­ductance capacity has reached the set value.
• Shut the pressure control valve (14) in clock­wise direction in small steps until the drinking water amount in the viewing glass (42) has reached the set value.

(2) Metered Addition
For mixing of the chemical, only un­chlorinated drinking water may be
used. This water is taken from the drinking water sampling valve (44).
44
The metered addition is carried out dependent of the level in the metering container.
Completely emptied metering container:
• Fill 10 l of drinking water into the metering con­tainer.
• With a measuring cup, measure the 7.5 -fold amount mentioned in the “10 Liter Water” col­umn of the respective chemical and fill into the container.
• Fill the container with drinking water to the “75 l” mark and mix according to Section 3.1.2.
Partially emptied metering container:
• Read off the level of the fluid with help of the scale at the metering container, e. g., 35 l.
• Determine the quantity to be refilled by sub­tracting the read level from the 75 l. Example: 75 l - 35 l = 40 l.
• Determine the required amount of the respec­tive chemical from the metering table. Example: 4 x the amount for 10 l water.
• Measure the determined amount of the respec­tive chemical and fill into the container.
• Refill amount of water to the “75 l” mark and mix in accordance with Section 3.1.2.
3.3 Switching Off the Equipment
If the equipment is not operated for periods exceeding 14 days, it must be preserved by the Kärcher Service. Otherwise permanent damage must be expected.
• Switch the main switch (20) to the “O” position; the equipment stops the drinking water produc­tion.
Never switch off the equipment over­night! Otherwise the automatic clean­ing of the pre-filter is not carried through. Danger of damage to the equipment is given!
