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.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-

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!

tions for max. suction height).
 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).

pressure nozzle results in a repulsion pow-
er acting on the hand spray gun. Make sure
that you have a firm footing and are also
holding the hand spray gun and spray lance
firmly.
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if im-
properly used. The jet may not be directed
at persons, animals, live electrical equip-
ment or at the appliance itself.
