7.1 Connecting the high-pressure
washer to the mains water sup‐
ply
Connecting the water filter
If the high-pressure washer is operated with
sandy water or water from cisterns, a water filter
must be connected to the high-pressure washer.
The water filter filters sand and dirt out of the
water and thus protects the components of the
high-pressure washer from damage.
Depending on the market, the water filter may be
included with the high-pressure washer.

7.2 Connecting the high-pressure
washer to another water supply
The high-pressure washer can draw in water
from water butts, storage tanks and flowing or
still rivers and lakes.
So that the water can be drawn in, the height dif‐
ference between the high-pressure washer and
the water source must not exceed the max. suc‐
tion lift (a), 18.2.
The appropriate STIHL suction set must be used.
The suction set includes a water hose with a
special coupling.
Depending on the market, the appropriate STIHL
suction set may be included with the high-pres‐
sure washer.
