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
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. 4.440-238) to draw in surface wa-
ter, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
Remove coupling from the water connection.
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).
Remove air from appliance before operation.
Turn on the appliance "I/ON".
