Join high pressure hose and trigger gun
together.
Î Push clip in until it engages and check
that it is securely fastened by pulling on
the high pressure hose.
According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water net
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.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
Î
Use a fibre-reinforced hose (not includ-
ed) with a standard coupling:
- Minimum diameter, 1/2 inches (13 mm)
- Minimum length, 7.5 m.
Î Screw the coupling unit (supplied) to
the water connection on the appliance.
Î Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the tap.

Caution
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner
when the tap is turned off as dry running will
damage the high pressure pump.
If the water supply is not clean, the Kärcher
water filter must be used (special accesso-
ry - order No. 4.730-059).
When fitted with the appropriate accesso-
ries, this high-pressure cleaner can draw in
surface water, e.g. from water butts or
ponds (max. suction height 0.5 m).
Î As the standard coupling system is not
suitable for use in suction mode, the
Kärcher suction hose with integrated fil-
ter should be used instead (special ac-
cessory, order no. 4.440-238) and
suspended inside the water butt.
Î Use the Kärcher water filter to protect
the high pressure pump and accesso-
ries (special accessories, order no.
4.730-059). This filter removes dirt from
incoming water.
Î Appliance ventilation: Switch on the ap-
pliance without connection the high
pressure hose and run it until the water
discharging from the high pressure out-
let is free of bubbles. Switch off appli-
ance and reconnect high pressure hose.
Note: Fill suction hose with water before
use, this will help ventilate the pump of air.
Î Unwind the high pressure hose from the
hose reel.
Î Push the appropriate spray lance on to
the trigger gun and fasten it by turning it
through 90°.
Î Open tap.
Î Plug in the main plug.
Î Set main switch to “I/ON”.
Î Press safety catch on the trigger gun to
release it and pull lever.
ṇ
Risk of injury
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 hold-
ing the trigger gun and spray lance firmly.
Carrying out the most common cleaning
tasks. The work pressure can be stageless-
ly regulated between "Min" and "Max".
Î
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Î Turn the spray lance to the desired po-
sition.
