Heating cartridge in the oil tank
Danger of accident
If there is black ice, there is a risk of accidents for the users of the washing bay.
Lock out washing stations when black ice forms to prevent black ice accidents.
The following features are guaranteed:
Unrestricted washing with the high-pressure spray lance down to -15°C. For systems with 4 washing stations, it is recommended to lock out one washing station below -10°C (for systems with 4 high-pressure modules type 908 already at warmer temperatures).
Restricted washing with the washing brush at temperatures below 0°C. During restricted washing, all washing brushes must be checked regularly for icing. Foam washing with an iced washing brush can damage the vehicle. If the washing brush is iced up, the following measures must be taken:
1-tool version: Replace the combination spray lance with a high-pressure spray lance.
2-tool version (option): Refrain from foam washing (e.g. by giving instructions to the user).
At temperatures below –15°C, washing makes no sense because an ice coating forms on the vehicle. This ice coating can even impair the function of important vehicle components. Therefore, prevent use of the system below -15°C by locking out the washing stations.
The system is frost-proof down to -20°C. Below -20°C the device must be shut down as described in the section "Shutting down in case of frost".
The main switch must be in position 1.
The doors of the system must be closed.
An uninterruptible power supply, water supply and fuel supply must be ensured.
The water supply must be protected against frost.
The fuel supply must be protected against frost (e.g. heating cartridge in the tank, trace heating).
Set up and install as described in the chapter "Setting up the system".
The hot air blowers are set correctly.
All maintenance measures described in the "Maintenance and care" chapter have been performed.
All cleaning tools are returned to the storage compartments.
The trigger guns with frost protection bore belonging to the system are installed.
A prerequisite for the correct functioning of the washing station heater is that the washing station is designed by the customer in accordance with KÄRCHER's recommendations.
The washing station area that can be heated is limited by the corresponding heating capacity of the device. If the heated area exceeds this value, frost protection is not ensured. The number of washing stations that can be heated is given in the chapter "Technical data / data depending on hot water generation".
Snow coating and larger quantities of ice chunks that have fallen off the vehicles require a very high heating capacity. It is necessary to remove these deposits.
Before the frost period begins, carry out maintenance work "annually before the frost period begins", from the section "Maintenance and care".
To maintain frost protection, carry out the work listed below.
Maintenance work that is not carried out on time and in a professional manner will result in the loss of the warranty in the event of frost damage.

Risk of injury from electric shock
If the power supply is not set up correctly, users can be killed or injured by electric shock.
Have the power supply set up by an experienced electrician.
The electrical connection must meet the requirements of IEC 60664-1.
The system must be protected by a fault current protection switch with a trigger current no greater than 30 mA.
A marked EMERGENCY OFF switch must be installed in the supply line of the system at an easily accessible location from which the entire system can be switched off.
After connecting the system, check the direction of rotation of the hot water circulation pump and the washing station heater circulation pump (option).
The maximum permissible negative pressure in the fuel line (measured between the fuel filter and fuel pump) is 0.4 bar.
The negative pressure depends on:
the pipeline length
the suction height
the control panels, branches and angles in the suction line (dotted line in the diagram)
the pipeline cross-section
From +4 C, EL heating oil precipitates paraffin, which accumulates on the inner wall of the pipe.
the viscosity of the heating oil (temperature-dependent)
Measures against too high of negative pressure are:
Minimum inner pipe diameter 6 mm
short, preferably straight pipelines
In extreme cases, use a separate fuel line with feed pump
Preheat heating oil, provide suction line with trace heating
Maximum viscosity 4...6 cSt at 20 °C
If there is a risk of frost, use heating oil with additives (flow improvers) (winter fuel oil).
A prerequisite for the correct functioning of the washing station heater is that the washing station is designed by the customer in accordance with KÄRCHER's recommendations.
Connect the on-site pipes of the washing station heater to the distributors in the device.
Mount the outdoor temperature sensor:
protected from direct sunlight (north of the equator on the north side, south of the equator on the south side),
protected from warm walls,
protected from warm air currents.
Connect the immersion pump for filling the washing station heater to the filling valve (on the red distributor).
Lay the return line from the filling valve of the blue distributor to the tank with frost protection solution.
Open the flow stop valves and the filling valves.
Pump frost protection mixture into the system for frost protection down to minus 25 °C.
Switch on the floor heating pump (see chapter "Controller/Service menu").
Carry out the filling process until there are no more bubbles in the return line.
Close the return filling valve (on the blue distributor) and continue to fill in frost protection until the pressure gauge shows approx. 1.5 bar.
Close the filling line stop valve.
Let the underfloor heating pump run for at least another 15 minutes. If necessary, top up with frost protection until the pressure gauge shows 1.5 bar.
Remove the hose, collecting and disposing of the remaining frost protection solution.
Check the hose and pipe connections for leaks.
Set the thermostatic mixing valve, see chapter "Settings/Washing station heater",
The oil level on all high-pressure pumps must be between the MIN and MAX marks on the oil tank.
Cut off the tip of the oil tank cover on each high-pressure pump.
Fill with operating materials as described in the section "Filling with operating materials".
The softening salt is filled into the salt tank during the initial startup of the base exchanger. Therefore, do not add softening salt yet.
Open the water inlet.
Vent the hot water circulation pump by loosening the venting screw and then tightening it again.
Turn the main switch to "1".
Vent the circulation pump frost protection by loosening the venting screw and then tightening it again.
Insert the overflow hoses of the base exchanger and salt tank into the on-site waste water pipe.
Fill the salt tank with water (approx. 10 cm above the upper edge of the sieve). Do not add salt yet!
Slowly open the fresh water stop valve and wait until the pressure tank has filled with water.
Remove the cover of the control valve.
Press the programme button and select the "Backwash" function by turning it in the direction of the arrow."
Air and water escape through the waste water connection until the system is completely vented.
Limit backwashing to the absolute minimum, otherwise the sensor measuring cell may be exhausted and a complete regeneration of the respective exchange tank will be necessary.
Pull the suction sieve attached to the brine hose out of the guide tubes in the salt container.
Press the valve flap NR1 (directly behind the programme unit) with a screwdriver.
The air shutter valve fills and air escapes through the suction sieve.
If no more air escapes from the suction sieve, release the valve flap.
Reinsert the suction sieve into the guide tubes.
Press the programme button and select the "Salting+Washing" function by turning it in the direction of the arrow."
The water level in the salt tank decreases continuously.
If air forms in the air shutter valve before the salt container is empty (residual level with empty salt container approx. 7cm) and the ball floating in the air shutter glass falls down, the suction system must be vented.
Press the programme button and select the "Fill+Wash clean" function by turning it in the direction of the arrow.
The control valve automatically moves to the "Operation" function. The salt tank is filled with water.
When the water level is correct, fill the salt tank with tablet salt according to DIN 19604 (see also chapter Accessories).
After completion of this work, the system is ready for operation.
Complete the initial startup of the base exchanger by carrying out a soft water check.
Fill the membrane with tap water pressure (wet).
Rinse the membrane for 10...20 minutes.
(Foam development during this process is normal).
Continue the rinse until no more bubbles are visible on the permeate flowmeter.
Check the pressure of the detergent solution.
Target value: 0.9...1.0 MPa (9...10 bar).
If necessary, correct the pressure by turning the adjustment screw on the pump.
Check the burner setting.
Check all system functions.
Check all the washing programmes at all the washing stations.
Check the system for leaks and re-tighten screw connections if necessary.
The initial startup of gas burner may only be carried out by authorised specialist personnel of the burner manufacturer.
The device must be connected to its own chimney.
The exhaust system must be carried out in accordance with local regulations and in consultation with the responsible master chimney sweep.
Type B23
Gas device without flow protection, in which all parts of the exhaust gas path that are under excess pressure have combustion air flowing around them.
The B23 installation opens up the possibility of connecting the device to a conventional single-exhaust-gas chimney in accordance with DIN 18160 and operating it as room air dependent. The prerequisite is that the chimney is suitable for the connection of condensing boilers (e.g. by refurbishing the chimney by inserting a stainless steel pipe).
