Water supply
Caution! Impurities in the intake water damage the
pump. To prevent this we expressly urge you to use
the Kärcher water filter (order no. 4.730-059).
The operation of the high-pressure cleaner with a
closed water supply line causes damage to the cy-
linder head unit. Please never operate the high-pres-
sure cleaner with a closed water supply tap.
The unit can either be supplied from the water main
or from water in an open container.
Water supply from the water main
• Connect a supply hose (not included) to the water
inlet of the unit and to the water supply (e.g. water
tap).
• Open the water supply.
Water supply from an open container
• Unscrew the coupling part for the water inlet.
• Screw the suction hose with filter (not included,
see “Special accessories”) onto the water connec-
tion of the unit.
• Hang the filter in the container.
• Vent the unit before operation.
– Unscrew the high-pressure line at the high-pres-
sure outlet of the unit.
– Switch on the unit and let it run until water free
of bubbles emerges at the high-pressure out-
let.
– Switch off the unit and screw on the high-pres-
sure hose again.
Preparation
• Insert power plug.
• Turn master switch to “I”.
Switching on
• Press safety button on the handgun and pull the
lever.
Switching off
• Release the lever.
During breaks in work and when leaving the unit secure
it against inadvertent switching on by pressing the
safety button.
Regulate operating pressure
Raise operating pressure:
twist spray lance in direction “+”.
Reduce operating pressure:
twist spray lance in direction “–”.
Adding the cleaning agent
• Fill the detergent reservoir with .......
..... Detergent tablet and water or
..... Detergent concentrate and water.
Observe metering recommendations on the pak-
kaging label of the detergent.
• Twist the spray lance in the “–” direction until the
stop.
After cleaning agent has been added:
• Suspend the filter of the detergent suction hose in
a container of clear water, switch on the unit for
about one minute and flush through.
Recommended cleaning method
1. Spray the cleaning agent on the dry surface spa-
ringly and let it react (but not dry out).
2. Wash off the loosened dirt with the high-pressu-
re jet.
Connect accessories
Depending on the model the following accessories
are either included in the scope of delivery or are
obtainable from specialist dealers (see also “Speci-
al accessories”).
• Exchange the respective accessory with the spray
lance.
Wash brush
for large, smooth surfaces – e.g. on the automobile,
caravan or boat.Cleaning agent can be added.
Rotating wash brush
for gentle and thorough cleaning – e.g. bodywork
and glass surfaces.
Cleaning agent can be added.
Rotary nozzle
for stubborn accumulations of grime – e.g. moss-
covered promenade tiles or facades.
Work without cleaning agent and with the highest
operating pressure.
Finishing operations
• Master switch to “0”.
• Draw out power plug.
Water supplied from the water main
• Close the water supply tap.
• Separate the unit from the water connection.
Water supplied from an open container
• Unscrew the suction hose with filter at the water
inlet of the unit.
• Pull the lever on the handgun until the unit is wi-
thout pressure.
• Press in the safety button to protect the unit against
inadvertent switching on.
Safekeeping
Caution! Frost can destroy an incompletely emp-
tied unit. In the winter keep the unit in a frost-free
room.
• Separate the spray lance from the handgun.
• Wind up the power cord and, for example, hang it
around the handgun.
