Installation
Fitting the venting screw
1. Remove the transport screw from the oil filling noz-
zle of the high-pressure pump.
2. Screw in and tighten the venting screw with oil dip-
stick supplied.
Connecting the battery
1. Connect the battery cable to the positive terminal of
the battery.
Maximum pressure screw connection
This system establishes the connection between the
spray lance and high-pressure gun and also between
the spray lance and nozzle.
1. Check the screw connection and connection for
damage. Do not use damaged parts.
2. Screw the pressure ring far enough onto the spray
lance or hose connection so that approximately 2
thread turns are visible before the pressure ring.
Note: The pressure ring has a left-hand thread.

4. Push the pressure screw onto the pressure ring.
5. Screw in and tighten the pressure screw (tightening
torque 160 Nm).

Installing accessories

Install accessories only when the device is switched off.
Note: Observe the separate operating instructions for
the "Dump gun" high-pressure gun.
1. Connect the spray lance to the high-pressure gun.
2. Check the high-pressure hose (see section "Care
and maintenance/maintenance intervals/Before
each use").
3. Lightly the grease the thread on the high-pressure
hose and on the device/gun.
4. Connect the high-pressure hose to the high-pres-
sure gun. Maximum hose length 40 m, DN 6.
5. Connect the high-pressure hose to the high-pres-
sure connection.
6. Fit the nozzle holder onto the spray lance.
7. Insert the nozzle into the nozzle holder.
8. Screw on the union nut and hand-tighten.
High-pressure hose catching fixture
1. Secure the high-pressure hose on the high-pressure
gun.

Initial startup
ATTENTION
Risk of damage
An excessive inclination can result in damage to the en-
gine.
Do not start the device if the angle of inclination exceeds
15°.
If the device is inclined, secure it to prevent it from tip-
ping over.
Risk of damage
Certain operating conditions can reduce engine perfor-
mance and cause premature wear of the engine.
Avoid operating the device in extremely dusty condi-
tions, or if there is a presence of chemical gases, va-
pours or salt spray. Protect the engine from rain and
flooding.
Never operate the engine without an air filter insert pres-
ent.
Checking the device
1. Perform maintenance work prior to each operating
procedure (see "Care and maintenance").
English
Refuelling
Only refuel with diesel fuel. The fuel must be free of any
impurities.
1. Remove the cap from the filling nozzle of the fuel
tank.
2. Pour fuel into the filling nozzle and, when doing so,
observe the filling level display.
3. Stop the filling process when the pointer of the filling
level display points to "F". Do not overfill the tank.
4. Place the cap on the filling nozzle and secure it in
place.
Check the oil level of the high-pressure pump
1. Position the device on a level surface.
2. The oil level must be in the middle of the oil level in-
dicator or the oil dipstick.
3. Top up with oil if necessary (see "Technical data")
Water connection
Connection to a water line
WARNING
Return flow of dirty water into the drinking water
network
Health risk
Observe the regulations of your water supply company.
According to applicable regulations, the device must
never be used with the drinking water network without a
system separator. Use a system separator from
KÄRCHER or a system separator as per EN 12729
Type BA. Water that has flowed through a system sep-
arator is classified as undrinkable. Always connect the
system separator to the water supply and never directly
to the water connection on the device.
1. Check the supply pressure, supply temperature and
supply volume of the water supply (see "Technical
data" section).
ATTENTION
Risk of damage due to foreign bodies
Non corrosion-resistant or dirty hoses can release par-
ticles that are damaging to the device.
Use only corrosion-resistant, clean hoses.
2. Connect the system separator to the water connec-
tion of the device using a water supply hose (for the
requirements placed on the water supply hose see
the "Technical data" section).
3. Route the high-pressure hose so that it cannot be
damaged by mechanical influences or vibrations.
4. Open the water inlet.
Vent the device
Venting the low pressure system
ATTENTION
Risk of damage
Damage due to cavitation can occur if air is present in
the high-pressure pump during operation.
Do not open the high-pressure gun during the venting
process.
1. Connect the high-pressure hose and the high-pres-
sure gun.
2. Ensure the required minimum water supply volume
(see "Technical data").
3. Open the water inlet.
Classic version: Water flows out of the bypass pipe.
Advanced version: The float container fills with wa-
ter
4. Open the venting screw at the filter until all air has
escaped from the filter.
5. Close the venting screw.
6. Start the engine (see "Operation").
7. Pull the breather hose away from the device. Water
escapes here during the venting process.
8. Open the pump venting lever until an even flow of
water escapes from the breather hose; do this for at
least 90 seconds.
9. Close the pump venting lever.
The water shortage safeguard switches the device off in
the case of insufficient advance pressure.
10. In this case, turn the key-operated switch to "0" to re-
set the water shortage safeguard.
11. Restart the engine to continue the venting process.
12. Keep switching the device Off/On until it runs fault-
free in depressurised circulation/idle mode.
Venting the high-pressure system (Advanced
variant only)
1. Vent the low-pressure system as described above.
2. Remove the high-pressure nozzle.
3. Pull and hold the trigger of the high-pressure gun
with the motor at a standstill.
4. Wait until an even flow of water escapes from the
spray lance (wait at least 90 seconds).
5. Release the trigger of the high-pressure gun.
6. Turn the trigger to 1/ON.
