Warning
According to applicable regulations, the ap-
pliance must never be used on the drinking
water net without a system separator. A
suitable system separator by KÄRCHER or
alternatively a system separator according
to EN 12729 type BA must be used.
Water that has flown through a system sep-
arator is no longer classified as drinking
water.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
Caution
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.
Caution
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 pro-
ceed in accordance with the instructions in
Chapter "Troubleshooting".
