English
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).
Î Screw high pressure hose on to high
pressure outlet on appliance.
Î Push the appropriate spray lance on to
the trigger gun and fasten it by turning it
to the right through 90°.
Î Open tap.
Î Plug in mains plug.
Î Set main switch to “I/ON”.
Î Press safety catch on the trigger gun to
release it and pull lever.

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 holding the trigger gun and spray lance
firmly.
Î For normal cleaning tasks.
Operation with detergents not possible
Note:
Detergent can only be added when the ap-
pliance is being operated in low pressure
mode.
All washing brushes supplied by Kärcher
are designed for use with detergents.
Î
Detach spray lance from handgun.
Note: A low-pressure jet is generated if
the spray lance is not attached to the
handgun.
Î Place the end of the Detergent suction
hose in a container with Detergent solu-
tion.
1 Spray a small dose of the detergent on
the dry surface, and allow it to react
(make sure the detergent does not dry
up).
2 Wash off the loosened dirt using the
high-pressure jet.
To ensure a trouble-free operation of the
appliance and to match the individual
cleaning task, we recommend our Kärcher
detergent and maintenance agents. Please
ask for our advice, or request information
