VII. General Notes
1. System test pressure and design accord with the statutory regulations for steam boilers.
2. The “Richtlinien für Flüssigkeitsstrahler” (Guidelines for liquid jets) issued by the Verband der
gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften, available from Carl Heymanns-Verlag KG, Luxemburger
Str. 449, 5000 Köln 41, apply in the Federal Republic of Germany.
3. In accordance with the “Richtlinien der Flüssigkeitsstrahler” (paragraph VI.1.), high-pressure jets
must be inspected at least every 12 months by an expert; the results of the inspection must be put
in writing.
Kärcher Customer Service maintenance engineers are experts and can carry out this prescribed
inspection at your premises.
4. The volume of water in the unit amounts to less than 10 litres. The unit is therefore subject to no
installation regulations as far as the boiler is concerned. When operating with temperatures of over
100 °C in unsupervised operation, the burner must be fitted with a flame monitoring system.
Regulations of the local building authorities should be observed.
5. The heating facility is a furnace which, according to the first ordinance for the implementation of the
Federal law on the protection against noxious emissions, must be checked once a year for its
adherence to emission control values by your area chimney sweep responsible for such tasks. The
operator of the high-pressure cleaner must arrange for the measurement to take place.

8. Accessories
Wrong, unsuitable or defective accessories impair the functioning of your Kärcher unit. Their use is
dangerous. Ask us or your dealer about suitable and tested accessories. A Kärcher original
accessory is practical and tailor-made.
9. Spare parts
Be aware that the use of other than original spare parts can lead to the occurrence of faults and also
to bad accidents when these parts have not been manufactured properly, or when they do not exactly
replace the original part. They can also make the operation of the unit unreliable.
Original spare parts offer the guarantee that you will always be able to operate your unit safely and
free of faults.
