Water supply
According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water net
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by
Kärcher; or, as an alternative, a system
separator as per EN 12729 Type BA.
Water supply from mains
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
Use a fibre-reinforced hose (not includ-
ed) with a standard coupling:
- Minimum diameter, 1/2 inches (13 mm)
- Minimum length, 7.5 m.
Screw the coupling unit (supplied) to
the water connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the tap.
Caution
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner
when the tap is turned off as dry running will
damage the HP pump.
If the water supply is not clean, the Kärcher
water filter must be used (special accesso-
ry - order No. 4.730-059).
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
When fitted with the appropriate accesso-
ries, this high-pressure cleaner can draw in
surface water, e.g. from water butts or
ponds (max. suction height 0.5 m).

suitable for use in suction mode, the
