Starting
-Do not simply discard the packing materials
with the house-hold waste. Take the packing
materials to the appropriate collection areas for
recycling.
-Dirt in the feed water could lead to the appliance
being damaged. To avoid this risk, we recom-
mend fitting a filter with 3/4" connection .
-If you are using an extension cable, it should
always be completely unwound from the cable
drum and have a sufficient cross-sectional area
(10 m = 1,5 mm², 30m = 2,5 mm²).
Operation with high pressure
-The safety ratchet does not lock the lever of the
gun during operation but only prevents it from
opening unintentionally.
Suction operation
-Allow the pump to operate without the high-
pressure hose until water appears at the high-
pressure outlet without any more bubbles.Then
reattach the high-pressure hose.
Operation with Detergent
-We recommend that you use detergent spa-
ringly for the sake of the environment. Observe
the recommended dosage on the detergent la-
bel.
-By offering you an individualised range of clea-
ning and preserving agents, Kärcher guaran-
tees trouble-free operation of the unit. Request
more information or ask for our catalogue and/
or individual information brochures on specific
detergents.

-We recommend the following cleaning methods:
Step 1: Loosening dirt
Spray on detergent sparingly and allow to react
for a short time.
Step 2: Removing dirt
Spray off the loosened dirt with the high-
pressure spray.
Switching Off
-In the event of extended work breaks (more than
5 minutes), switch off the pump to avoid dama-
ge due to water overheating.
-Pull the trigger until there is no more pressure in
the appliance, and secure the trigger with the
safety ratchet against unintentional opening.
-Frost will destroy an appliance which has not
been completely emptied of water. Ideally, the
appliance shold be stored in a frost-free room.
Troubleshooting
!Note: Disconnect the appliance from the power
mains before all repair work.
Appliance does not Work
-Check whether the voltage shown on the rating
plate corresponds to that of the power source.
-Check the connector cable for damage.
-If the motor overheats, allow it to cool down for
a few minutes. Then switch back on again.
Appliance does not reach Operational Pressure
-Vent the appliance.
-Clean the strainer in the water connection.
-Check the inlet water flow rate.
-Check all inlet pipes to the pump for leaks or
block-age.
Strong Pressure Fluctuations
-Clean the high-pressure nozzle. Remove dirt
from the nozzle hole with a needle and then
rinse out with water from the front.
Pump Leaks
-3 drops per minute are permissible. In the case
of more serious leakage, you should contact the
authorized customer service.
Spare Parts
-A selection of the most common spare parts
numbers is listed at the end of these operating
instructions.
General Information
Purpose
-Use the appliance to clean machines, vehicles,
buildings, tools etc.
-Clean facades, terrasses, garden equipment
etc. without detergent only with the high-
pressure spray.
-Engines may only be cleaned at locations with

protection).
Safety Equipment
The safety valve is also an overflow valve.
When the hand-held spray gun is closed, the
valve opens and water flows back to the suction
side of the pump.
