Water supply from mains
Observe regulations of water supplier.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
 Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling.
(Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm),
minimum length 7.5 m).
Caution
Hose couplings made of metal with aquas-
top can damage the pump! Please use
plastic couplings or KÄRCHER brass cou-
plings.
Illustration
 Screw the coupling element to the wa-
ter connection on the appliance.
 Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa-
ter supply.
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work
with the KÄRCHER suction hose with back-
flow valve (Optional accessory, order no.
4.440-238) to draw in surface water, e.g.
from water butts or ponds (see specifica-
tions for max. suction height).
 Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with
backflow valve with water, screw to wa-
ter supply and hang into the water butt.
 Remove air from appliance before oper-
ation.
Switch on the appliance without con-
nection the high-pressure hose (max. 2
minutes) and run it until the water dis-
charging from the high-pressure outlet
is free of bubbles. Switch off appliance
and reconnect high-pressure hose.
Start up
Caution
Dry runs lasting longer than two minutes
lead to damages to the high pressure
pump. If the appliance does not build up
pressure within two minutes, switch it off
and proceed as instructed in the Chapter
"Troubleshooting".
Illustration
 Push the spray lance into the trigger gun
and fasten it by turning it through 90°.
Illustration
 Unwind the high pressure hose com-
pletely from the hose drum. Hold on to
the transport handle during this proce-
dure.
Note: If the hand crank is in its secured
position, fold it up first.
 Completely open the water tap.
 Completely uncoil the mains cable.
 Insert the mains plug into the socket.
 Turn on the appliance "I/ON".
Danger
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.
Caution
Prior to cleaning, make sure that the high
pressure is placed safely on level ground.
Wear protective goggles and protective
clothing during the cleaning process.
 Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.
 Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the
device will switch on.
Note: Release the lever of the trigger gun;
the device will switch off again. High pres-
sure remains in the system.
Spray lance with pressure regulation
Carrying out the most common cleaning
tasks. The work pressure can be infinitely
regulated between "Min" and "Max".
 Release the lever on the trigger gun.
 Turn the spray lance to the desired po-
sition.
Note: Suitable for working with detergent;
for this, turn the spray lance to the "Mix" po-
sition.
Spray lance with Dirtblaster
For particularly dirty items or areas.
Not suitable for use with detergents.
Caution
Car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such
as wood should not be cleaned with the dirt
blaster, as there is a risk of damage.
Washing brush
Suitable for use with detergents.
