cure connection by pulling on the high-pres-
sure hose.
According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water supply with-
out a system separator. Use a suitable
system separator manufactured by KÄRCHER;
or, as an alternative, a system separator as per

tem separator is considered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to the wa-
ter supply, never directly to the appliance!
Note: Impurities in the water can damage the
high-pressure pump and accessories. For pro-
tection, the use of the KÄRCHER water filter (op-
tional accessory, order no. 4.730-059) is
recommended.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
For connection values, see type plate/technical
data.

Dry runs lasting longer than two minutes lead to
damages to the high pressure pump. If the appli-
ance does not build up pressure within two min-
utes, switch it off and proceed as instructed in
