Water Supply; Operation - Kärcher K 7 Full Control Plus Mode D'emploi

Water supply

For connection values, see type plate/technical data.
ATTENTION
Impurities in the water can damage the high-pressure
pump and the 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.
ATTENTION
Hose couplings made of metal with aquastop can dam-
age the pump! Please use plastic couplings or KÄRCH-
ER brass couplings.
Illustration
 Screw the coupling element to the water connec-
tion on the appliance.
 Attach the water supply hose to the coupling on the
water connection.
 Connect the water supply hose to the water supply.
 Completely open the water tap.
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. 2.643-100) to draw in surface wa-
ter, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
Note: With vacuuming operation, the coupling for the
water connection is not required.
 Fill the suction hose with water.
 Screw the suction hose into the water connection of
the appliance and insert it into the water source
(e.g. rainwater drum).
Bleed the device as follows prior to operation:
 Turn on the appliance "I/ON".
 Unlock the lever of the trigger gun.
 Push the lever of the trigger gun, the device will
switch on.
 Using the +/- buttons, set the high-pressure gun to
detergent level 1.
 Let the device run (max. 2 minutes) until the water
exits the trigger gun without bubbles.
 Release the lever of the trigger gun.
 Lock the lever of the trigger gun.

Operation

ATTENTION
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".
Full Control Plus System
The +/- buttons on the high-pressure gun can be used
to select the pressure and detergent dosing levels. It is
possible to change spray type by turning the 3-in-1 multi
jet spray lance.
ATTENTION
The sensitivity of the materials can strongly differ de-
pending on the age and the condition. The so-called
recommendations are non-binding.
Pressure level
Flat jet nozzle
Dirt blaster
Detergent nozzle
Note: When working with T-Racers and other accesso-
ries, the pressure indicator is not indicative. So that cor-
rect function is guaranteed, always set the pressure on
the high-pressure gun to the highest level. Make any
possible adjustments directly on the accessories.
High pressure operation
CAUTION
Keep a distance of at least 30 cm when using the jet for
cleaning painted surfaces to avoid damage.
ATTENTION
Car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such as wood
should not be cleaned with the dirt blaster, as there is a
risk of damage.
