This SB washing system is to be used for
cleaning
– Vehicles and
– Trailers
with water and detergents added to it.
It is wrong and therefore prohibited to use
the plant for cleaning
– human beings and animals. There is a

high risk of injury due to the high pres-

sure jet.
– Loose parts. These can get thrown off

due to the high pressure jet and can

cause damage to persons or other parts

of the plant.
To disconnect from the drinking water net­work, a system separator type BA, catego­ry 4 must be installed between the system
and the drinking water network. In addition
to that, the local regulations must be ad­hered to.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage to the plant if water supply
is not of suitable quality. The system must
only be supplied with water in drinking wa­ter quality.

The plant may be used for diverting com­bustible gases only in the open.
If the plant is to be housed under a roof or
in a closed room, then it must be connected
to a chimney to provide an outlet for the ex­haust gases. If the plant is to be connected
to a chimney, then the burner needs to be
adjusted and the exhaust values must be
checked by the concerned chimney clean­er.

ATTENTION

The system is frost-safe up to -20°C under
the conditions outlined in the section
"Frost-protection" and must be shut down if
the temperatures fall below this limit.

– Coins are thrown in at the control panel

and the washing programme is select­ed.

 Close the salt tank.

Note:

An empty salt tank will cause a malfunction!
Fill the salt tank at the latest when water is
visible in the salt tank while removing the
lid. Filling the salt container to the top does
not mean that there will be an increase in
salt consumption.
When the system is functioning properly,
the ratio of salt consumption to water con­sumption remains constant.
We recommend documenting the salt and
water consumption in an operations log.

몇 WARNING

Risk of accident due to ice formation. In
case of ice formation the plant must be
closed off to prevent ice-related accidents.

Note:

The following functions are guaranteed:
– Unrestricted washing with the high-

pressure spray lance up to -15°C.

For systems with 4 washing stations it is

recommended to lock one washing sta-

tion at temperatures below -10 °C (for

systems with 4 high-pressure modules

type 908 already at a warmer tempera-

ture).
– Restricted washing operations using

washing brush at temperatures sub-

zero temperatures.

During restricted washing, all washing

brushes must be checked for ice-forma-

tion at regular intervals. Foam wash

with frozen washing brushes can dam-

age the vehicle. Take the following

steps if the washing brushes are frozen:
– The system is frost-safe up to -20°C.

The device must be shut down at tem-

peratures below -20°C in accordance

with the instructions in "Shutdown in

case of frost".

Frost protection

14 EN

- 13

Note:

The pre-requisites for frost protection are:
– The main switch must be in position 1.
– The doors of the system must be

closed.

– Uninterrupted power, water and fuel

supply must be ensured.

– Water supply must also be protected

against freezing.

– The fuel supply must be protected

against frost (e.g. heating cartridge in
the tank, trace heating),

– Instructions for assembling and installa-

tion are given in chapter "Installing the
plant".

– The hot air ventilators have been set

correctly.

– All maintenance steps according to

"Maintenance and Care" have been
carried out correctly.

– All cleaning tools are placed back in the

storage compartment.

– The trigger guns with frost protection

holes that are part of the system are in­stalled.

Note:

The washing place heating can function
properly provided the washing area has
been built properly according to the
KÄRCHER recommendations.
The heating power is sufficient for a heated
washing station surface of 50/60* m

2

. If the
heated surface exceeds this value, the frost
protection cannot be guaranteed.
Snow layers and large volumes of ice piec­es fallen from the vehicles require a very
high heating capacity. It is necessary to re­move these deposits.
* 50 m

with gas burner (64 kW); 60 m2 with
oil burner (72 kW); with 4 high-pressure
modules type 908 the washing station sur­face must be further reduced.

 Before the onset of the frost period,

maintenance tasks must be carried out
"every year before the onset of the forst
period" according to section "Mainte­nance and Care".

 Carry out the following tasks for keep-

ing the frost protection intact.

Note:

Maintenance not being done on time or
from experts will mean, that there is no

– The safety valve protects the heating

circuit of washing place heating (option)

against excess pressure.

– Regulates the feed temperature for the

washing place heating (option) depend-

ing on the return flow temperature.

If the burner does not ignite or the flame ex­tinguishes during operation, then the flame
monitor closes the fuel solenoid valve and
switches off the burner blower.

– If the exhaust temperature exceeds the

permissible value, then the exhaust

thermostat automatically switches off

the burner and locks it.

– If the water temperature in the swimmer

tank for warm water falls when hot wa­ter is removed and cold water flows in,
the tempreature sensor of the warm wa­ter circulation pump switches on and
switches off again when the maximum
temperature is reached.

– Prevents the formation of steam in the

boiler.

– The flow monitor switches on the burner

after the warm water circulation pump
has been started.

– Switches off the burner if there is very

little water in the warm water swimmer
tank.

– The motor protection switch interrupts

the electric circuit if the motor is over­loaded.

SB MB standard:

If the residual hardness of the softened wa­ter exceeds a marginal value, the control
will calculate the residual capacity of the
base exchanger cylinder.
At the latest in the following night, the re­generation of the base exchanger bottle is
started.

SB MB comfort:

If the residual hardness of the softened wa­ter exceeds a limit value, the regeneration
of the base exchanger bottle begins imme­diately.

If there is no water, the plant is stopped in
order to prevent dry running of the pump.

Switches off the pump when the buffer tank
for permeate is full.

Switches on the RO pump to produce per­meate.

Emits a signal to the system when the per­meate buffer tank is empty.

Prevents the externally added water over

Note:

The equipment may only be installed by
– KÄRCHER service engineers
– persons authorized by KÄRCHER

몇 WARNING

Please ensure that there are no exhaust
emissions near the air inlets.
Sufficient ventilation is very important and
exhaust gases must be ventilated as in­structed by local regulations.

The following requirements are necessary
in order to install the equipment:
– Horizontal, even foundation according

to separate drawing (ask for it at
KÄRCHER).

– For electrical connection refer to techni-

cal specifications.

– For water connection refer to technical

specifications.

– Ensure adequate insulation / heating

for water and fuel pipes while operating
in winter.

– Drain water shaft and required drain

water disposal.

– Adequate lighting at washing place to

ensure safe working for the customers
using the washing system.

Unpack the equpiment and dispose of the
packing material properly.

 Align the system on an even and hori-

zontal installation site using the adjust­ing screws on the base frame.

 Place the exhaust nozzle from outside

on the roof and fasten it from inside us­ing the enclosed screws.

 Connect the high pressure hose to the

system.

 Connect high pressure hose to hand

spray gun

 Connect spray lance to trigger gun.
 Tighten all covering nuts firmly by hand.

To disconnect from the drinking water net­work, a system separator type BA, catego­ry 4 must be installed between the system
and the drinking water network. In addition
to that, the local regulations must be ad­hered to.

Note:

Impurities in the inlet water can damage the
system. Kärcher recommends the use of a
water filter (see "accessories").

ATTENTION

Risk of damage to the plant if water supply
is not of suitable quality. The system must
only be supplied with water in drinking wa­ter quality.

Quality requirements for tap water:

For connection values refer to technical
specifications.
 Insert the inlet hose from the bottom

through the plant opening and connect
it.

When a water distributor block 4. type of
water is used, processed water can also be
used with certain washing programmes.
Requirements on the quality for processed
water:

 DANGER

Risk of electric shock!
The mains must be connected by an expe­rienced electrician and the requirements of
the IEC 60664-1 must be fulfilled.
The plant must be secured through a wrong
current protection switch with a triggering
current lesser than or equal to 30 mA.

Note:

A clearly noticeable EMERG STOP switch
must be installed in the supply line to the
system, which can be used to turn the en­tire system off.

 After connecting the ssytem, check the

rotating direction of the warm water cir­culation pump and the circulation pump
for heating the washing place (option­al).

Note:

The maximum permissible vacuum in the
fuel pipe (measured between the fuel filter
and the fuel pump) is 0.4 bar.

The underpressure depends on:
– Length of pipe
– Suction height
– Fixtures, branchings and angles in the

suction pipe (dotted line in the diagram)

– Pipe cross-section (from +4°C the heat-

ing oil EL will separate the paraffin that
will then get deposited on the insides of
the pipe)

– Viscosity of the heating oil (depending

on temperature)
Measures against very high level of under­pressure are:
– Minimum inner diameter of pipe 6 mm
– Short, straight pipes (as far as possible)
– Maximum viscosity 4...6 cSt at 20°C
– In extreme cases, use separate fuel

pipe with pump
– Pre-heat the heating oil; use heating for

the suction pipe
– Use heating oil with additives (flow pro-

moters) (winter heating oil) if there is

risk of frost

Note:

The washing place heating can function
properly provided the washing area has
been built properly according to the
KÄRCHER recommendations.
 Connect the site-supplied pipelines of

the washing station heater to the distrib-

utors in the system .
 Install the external temperature sensor:
– protected from direct sunlight (north of

the equator on the northern hemi-

sphere, south of the equator on the

southern hemisphere),
– protected aginst warm walls,
– protected aginst warm air currents.

1 Locking valve of feeder pipe
2 Filling valve

 Connect the submersion pump to fill the

washing station heater with the fill valve

(on the red distributor).
 Return line from the fill valve to the blue

distributor to the container with the frost

protection solution.
 Open the locking valves of feeder and

return pipes.
 Pump frost protection mixture for a frost

safety for up to -25°C into the system.
 Switch on the floor heating pump (see

Chapter "Manual procedures").
 Perform the filling process until there

are no more bubbles in the return line.
 Close the fill valve for the return line (on

the blue distributor) and fill in more frost

protection until the manometer shows

approx. 1.5 bar.

 Close locking valve of feeder pipe.
 Let the pump of the floor heating run for

at least 15 more minutes.

If necessary, fill in more frost protection

until the manometer shows 1.5 bar.
 Remove the hose; while doing so col-

lect the residual frost protection solution

and dispose of it.
 Check hose and pipe screws for ab-

sence of leakness.
 Adjust the thermostat mixing valve; see

Chapter "Settings/Washing station

heater",

 The oil level in both the high-pressure

pumps must lie between MIN and MAX.

 Cut off tip of oil container.

See section "Filling fuel" in the earlier part
of the Operating Instructions.

Note:

The softening salt is added to the salt tank
while starting up the base exchanger.
Hence, do not fill in any softening salt yet.

 Open the water supply.

1 Deaeration screw

 Deaerate the warm water circulation

pump; loosen first the deaeration screw
and then tighten it again.

 Set main switch to “1”.

1 Deaeration screw

 Deaerate the frost protection circulation

pump; loosen first the deaeration screw
and then tighten it again.

 Inser the overflow hoses of base ex-

changer and salt tank in the drainage
pipe of the building.

 Fill the salt tank with water (approx. 10

cm above top edge of the sieve) Do not

add any salt yet!

 Open the locking valve for fresh water

slowly and wait until the pressure tank
is filled with water.

 Remove the covering lid of the control

valve.

1 Programming knob

 Press the programme button and select

the function "Backwash" by turning the
button in the direction of the arrow.

Water and air escapes through the
drainage connection until the plant is
completely deaerated.

Note:

Restrict backwashing to the absolute mini­mum because otherwise the sensor meas­uring cell can get exhausted and this may
necessitate a complete regeneration of the
concerned exchange tank.
 Pull out the suction sieve fitted at the

brine hose from the guide pipes in the
salt tank.

 Press the valve flap (NR1) (directly be-

hind the programming system) using a
screw-driver.

The air closure valve gets filled and air
escapes through the suction sieve.

When air no longer escapes from the
suction sieve, release the valve flap.

 Insert the suction sieve back into the

guide pipes.

 Press the programme button and select

the function "Salt+Wash" by turning the
button in the direction of the arrow.

Water level in the salt tank falls contin­uously.

Note:

The suction system needs to be deaer­ated if there is air formation in the air
closure valve before the salt tank is
empty (residual level in the salt tank,
when empty, is approx. 7 cm) and the
ball floating in the air closure glass falls
down.

 Press the programme button and select

the function "Fill+Rinse clear" by turn-

ing the button in the direction of the ar-

row.

The control valve automatically moves

to the function "Operations". The salt

tank is filled with water.

 When the water level is correct, fill the

salt tank with salt tablets according to

DIN 19604 (also see chapter on Acces-

sories).

The plant is ready for operations when
these jobs are completed. Conclude the
start-up activities by doing a soft water test.

During first start-up:
 Fill the membrane with initial tap water

pressure (net it).
 Rinse the memrane for 10 ... 20 min-

utes (foam formation during this proce-

dure is normal).
During fresh start-up after shutdown:
 Let the rinsing run until there are no

bubbles to be seen at the throughflow

meter of the permeate.

1 Adjustment screw

 Check the pressure of the detergent so-

lution.

Target value: 0.9...1.0 MPa (9...10

bars).
 Adjust the pressure as needed by turn-

ing the adjustment screw.

 Check burner setting.
 Check all functions of the system.
 Check all washing programmes on all

washing stations.

 Check the plant for leaks; tighten

screws if required.

The initial startup of the gas burner must
only be performed by authorised expert
staff of the burner manufacturer.
– The device must be connected to a sep-

arate chimney.

– The exhaust system must be designed

according to the local rules and regula­tions after consulting the concerned
chimney expert.

Type B23

Gas appliances without flow controller
where all parts of the exhaust system that
are subjected to excess pressure are free
of combustion air. The B23 installation
opens new options of connecting the appli­ance to a traditional single-draught chim­ney according to DIN 18160 and operating
it depending on the air conditions in the
room. The only requirement is that the
chimney must be suitable for being con­nected to combustion devices (i.e. it has
been cleaned by inserting a stainless steel
pipe).
