Operation
According to applicable regulations, the ap-
pliance must never be used on the drinking
water net without a system separator. A suit-
able system separator by KÄRCHER or al-
ternatively a system separator according to
EN 12729 type BA must be used.
Water that was flowing through a system separator is
considered non-drinkable.
CAUTION
Always connect the system separator to the water sup-
ply, never directly to the appliance!
Note: Impurities in the water can damage the high-pres-
sure 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/technical 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).
Screw the coupling element to the water connec-
tion on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the coupling unit,
then connect it to the water supply.
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work with the
KÄRCHER suction hose with backflow valve (Optional
accessory, order no. 4.440-238) to draw in surface wa-
ter, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with backflow
valve with water, screw to water supply and hang
into the water butt.
Separate the high pressure hose from the high
pressure connection of the appliance.
Appliance ventilation.
Let the appliance run when the high-pressure hose
is not connected and run it until the water which dis-
charges from the high-pressure outlet is free of
bubbles. Switch off appliance and reconnect high-
pressure hose.
CAUTION
Dry running of more than 2 minutes leads to damage of
the high-pressure pump. If the appliance does not build
up pressure within 2 minutes, switch the appliance off
and proceed in accordance with the instructions in
Chapter "Troubleshooting".
CAUTION
The device is delivered without engine oil. Please fill in
engine oil before using the appliance for the first time.
Fill up the fuel tank and check the oil level.
See Operating Instructions of motor.
Connect the high pressure hose to the high pres-
sure connection of the appliance.
Push the spray lance into the trigger gun and fasten
it by turning it through 90°.
Completely open the water tap.
Start the motor.
