– 4The safety mechanism against lack of wa-ter prevents the heater from over-heatingwhen there is no water. The burner oper-ates only when there is adequate watersupply.– If the hand spray gun is closed, theoverflow valve opens and the high pres-sure pump diverts the water back to thepump suction side. Thus the permissi-ble working pressure is not exceeded.– The overflow valve is set by the manu-facturer and sealed. Setting only bycustomer service.– The safety valve opens when the over-flow valve is defective.– The safety valve is set by the manufac-turer and sealed. Setting only by cus-tomer service.The thermo-valve opens when the permis-sible water temperature is exceeded andlets out the hot water into the open.The pressure switch switches off the burnerwhen the working pressure falls below theminimum value and switches it on againwhen it is exceeded. WarningRisk of injury! Device, tubes, high pressurehose and connections must be in faultlesscondition. Otherwise, the appliance mustnot be used.CautionIn case of lacteous oil inform Kärcher cus-tomer service immediately Before using for the first time, cut off thetip of the lid of the oil tank on the waterpump. Check oil level in the oil tank.Do not operate the appliance if the oil levelhas fallen below "MIN". Add oil if required (see technical speci-fications).Follow the instructions given in the sec-tion "Safety Notes"! Read the operating instructions of theengine manufacturer before start-upand follow the safety instructions care-fully. Check oil level of the engine.Do not operate the appliance if the oil levelhas fallen below "MIN". If required, top up oil carefully. Fill fuel tank with diesel.CautionRisk of damage to the fuel pump on ac-count of dry running. Fill up the fuel tank upto this mark even for cold water operations. DangerRisk of explosion! Only refill diesel oil orlight fuel oil. Unsuitable fuels, e.g. petrol,are not to be used. Refill fuel. Close tank lock. Wipe off spilled fuel.Water shortage safeguardOverflow valveSafety valveThermo-valve at the pumpPressure switchStart upCheck oil level of the high pressurepumpMotorRefill fuel19EN
