Suck in water from vessel
DANGER
Never suck water from a drinking water
container.
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).
DANGER
Never draw in fluids containing solvents or
undiluted acids and solvents! This includes
petrol, paint thinner and heating oil. The
spray mist is highly inflammable, explosive
and poisonous. Do not use acetone, undi-
luted acids and solvents, as they corrode
the materials used on the appliance.
 The standard water connection is not suit-
able for sucking in water; hence use
Kärcher suction hose (minimum diameter
approx. 1 inch) with filter (accessory).

 Press the lever on the hand spray gun.
 Switch on the appliance and let it run
