Water supply
Warning
According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water supply
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by
KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system
separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
Note: Impurities in the water can damage
the high-pressure pump and accessories.
For protection, the use of the KÄRCHER
water filter (optional accessory, order no.
4.730-059) is recommended.
Water supply from mains
Observe regulations of water supplier.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling.
(Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm),
minimum length 7.5 m).
Illustration ß
Screw the supplied coupling element to
the water connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa-
ter supply.
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work
with the KÄRCHER suction hose with back-
flow valve (Optional accessory, order no.
4 440-238) to draw in surface water, e.g.
from water butts or ponds (see specifica-
tions for max. suction height).
Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with
backflow valve with water, screw to wa-
ter supply and hang into the water butt.
Separate the high pressure hose from
the high pressure connection of the ap-
pliance.
Switch the appliance on (I/ON) for a
max. of 2 minutes and wait until the wa-
ter exits the high-pressure connection
without bubbles.
Turn off the appliance "O/OFF"
Caution
Dry runs lasting longer than two minutes
lead to damages to the high pressure
pump. If the appliance does not build up
pressure within two minutes, switch it off
and proceed as instructed in the Chapter
"Troubleshooting "
Illustration
Insert the high pressure hose tightly into
the quick coupling on the appliance, it
will lock in audibly.
Note: Make sure the connection nipple
is aligned correctly.
Check the secure connection by pulling
on the high pressure hose.
Illustration
Push the spray lance into the trigger
gun and fasten it by turning it through
900.
Completely open the water tap.
Insert the mains plug into the socket.
Turn on the appliance "I/ON".
Operation
Danger
The trigger gun is subjected to a recoil force
when the water jet is discharged. Make
sure that you have a firm footing and are
also holding the trigger gun and spray lance
firmly.
Caution
Prior to cleaning, make sure that the high
pressure is placed safely on level ground.
Wear protective goggles and protective
clothing during the cleaning process.
Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.
