explosive atmospheres in the form of a
cloud of combustible dust contained in the
air do not form during standard operation or
only for a short time.
Zone 1
is an area in which hazardous, potentially
explosive atmospheres consisting of a
mixture of air and combustible gases,
vapours or mists can occasionally form
during standard operation.
Zone 2
is an area in which hazardous, potentially
explosive atmospheres consisting of a
mixture of air and combustible gases,
vapours or mists do not normally occur
during standard operation or only for a short
time.

Turn off supply of cleaning liquid.
If a handgun is being used, release any
remaining pressure in the system by
pressing the lever on the handgun.
Working with the handgun
!
Danger!
The high-pressure jet produces a recoil
effect.
Mobile and static system
Turn on cleaning liquid supply.
Switch system on at master switch.
Commence cleaning with high-pressure
jet.
Important !
In types LM, SLA and SSR the stuffing
boxes must be retightened after the initial
startup. The tension should be regulated
one, two, four and 10 hours after initial startup. (For the running-in phase of the seals,
see E.3 Maintenance work).
3. System shut-down
Important!
Before carrying out the shut-down
procedures, flush through without adding
cleaning agents. This prevents a crust
forming on the seals or that they become
stuck fast, either of which would lead to
premature wear.
You could lose your balance.
You could fall over.
Therefore:
Ensure that you have a firm footing.
Keep a tight grip on the handgun.
Do not wedge the handgun fast in the
open position.
If the lever is wedged fast, the recoil effect
causes the high-pressure hose to twist and
turn in various directions, which result in
damage to other equipment or persons.
Starting up the system
Mobile system
Place system on a horizontal, solid
surface.
Lock wheel brakes.
During the recirculation operation with
solvent, the system must be rinsed through
thoroughly using clean solvent before the
shut-down procedure takes place.
Switch system off at master switch.
Turn off cleaning liquid supply.
If a handgun is being used, release any
remaining pressure in the system by
pressing the lever on the handgun.

Pump has three cylinders, each with a
pressure chamber, and one suction
chamber.
Safety valve
Danger!
Injury hazard due to excessive pressure
within system. Do not adjust safety valve.
the safety valve has been pre-set and
sealed in the factory. Adjustments should
only be made by a Kärcher Customer
Service engineer.
The safety valve opens if the pressure
exceeds the prescribed maximum level.
Cleaning liquid is allowed to escape,
thereby avoiding damage to the pump and
high-pressure hoses due to too much
pressure in the system.
Pulsation damper
The pulsation damper compensates for the
variations or peaks in pressure. This
reduces the wear on pump components.
Drive for the high-pressure pump
The high-pressure pump is driven by an
electric motor.
V-belts attached to the electric motor
provide the actual drive to the highpressure pump.

Hazard!
The following mounting and accessory kits
must not be used for operation with solvents
or in a hazardous (potentially explosive
atmosphere) area.
G. Mounting kits and accessories
1. Mounting kits
(non-hazardous area)
English
V olume control v alve
Function
If only a part of the pump delivery volume is
required, the remainder is fed back to the
suction side of the pump via the volume
control valve.
This item is required when the system is
used with handguns.
Float tank with float valve
Function
The float valve fitted inside the float tank
controls the level of liquid.
The float tank serves as a service
reservoir for the cleaning liquid.
If water is used as the cleaning agent,
the float tank corresponds to mains
disconnection according to EN 1717.
In the case of the mobile systems, the
float tank is fitted to the trolley.
Pressure switch
Danger!
Danger due to high voltage. The pressure
switch has been pre-set in the factory,
adjustments should only be made by a
Kärcher Customer Service engineer.
Function
The pressure switch
switches the system off if the working
pressure is exceeded.
switches the system back on when the
pressure drops again.
Pulsation damper
Caution!
Settings
Closing force
Extending the length of L increases the
amount of closing force, i.e. even when the
cleaning liquid is fed in at quite high pressure
the float valve is able to shut off the supply.
Technical specification
Capacity up to overflow: 30 litres.
5.956-486 A2005937 (06/03)
As the membrane in the pulsation damper is
not suitable for solvents, do not use the
pulsation damper for operation with
solvents.
Function
The pulsation damper evens out variations
or peaks in pressure while the system is in
operation.
Important!
Volume control valve, pressure switch and
pulsation damper are usually employed
together as an automatic volume control
system.

Pressure-relief valve
Function
The pressure-relief valve is an integrated
solenoid valve.
The pressure-relief valve is only active
during the start-up phase when the
system is configured for star-delta
starting.
When the pressure-relief valve is opened,
the liquid delivered by the pump flows
back to the suction side. As a result, no
pressure is built up, and the load on the
motor is reduced during the start-up
phase.
Detergent metering at the suction
side of the pump
Danger!
If the detergent reservoir is empty and the
metering valve is open, the pump takes in
air. This can lead to damage to the pump,
therefore:
check detergent reservoir regularly,
do not open metering valve until actual
work commences,
close metering valve as soon as work
has ended.
Function
A diaphragm has been inserted into the
pump intake connection,
detergent is taken in from an external
reservoir,
the amount taken in is determined by a
metering valve,
metering is switched on or off by a solenoid
valve.
Detergent metering at the pressure
side of the pump
Function
Detergents are taken in from an external
reservoir and fed to the output from the
pump,
an injector mixes the detergent with the
high-pressure jet (double spray lance
required for detergent metering),
detergents can also be metered by
means of a high-pressure metering pump.
