livered within a certain time after switching on. This oc-
curs after 4 minutes in Manual mode and after 3 minutes

display lights up.

Startup
We recommend using only original Kärcher suction hos-
es, filter components and hose connections. Using
components from other manufacturers can lead to mal-
functions when sucking the feed fluid, especially when
using bayonet connection systems.
Mobile use
Note
Even minor leaks lead to malfunctions.
Connect the suction hose
Note
We recommend using a suction hose with a backflow
stop. The backflow stop reduces the re-sucking time be-
cause it prevents the suction hose from draining after
water is dispensed. Do not install the backflow stop di-
rectly at the pump.
Note
We recommend using an additional pre-filter if sandy
water is to be delivered. Install the pre-filter between the
suction hose and pump.
For information on the backflow stop and pre-filter, see
chapter Accessories and spare parts.
1. Screw the connection adapter into the suction con-
nection of the pump (inlet) and tighten hand-tight.

2. Connect a vacuum-tight suction hose.
Connecting the pressure line
1. Screw the 2-way connection adapter into the pres-
sure connection of the pump (outlet) and tighten
hand-tight.
Illustration C
The 2-way connection adapter allows simultaneous
operation of 2 devices (e.g. washing machine and
sprinkler). It can be installed with both outlets at the
side or one outlet at the side and one outlet above.

2. Connect the pressure line.
3. Close the unused outlet with the cap supplied if only
one outlet is used.
Filling the pump
1. Open and remove the filling nozzle cap, either man-
ually or using a screwdriver shaft (max. 8 mm diam-
eter).
2. Fill the pump via the filling nozzle, all the way to the
edge.

3. Screw the cap tightly onto the filling nozzle, either
manually or using a screwdriver shaft.
4. If present, open the stop valves in the pressure line
