English
According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water supply
without a system separator. Use a
suitable system separator manufactured by
KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system
separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Note: Impurities in the water can damage
the high-pressure pump and accessories.
For protection, the use of the KÄRCHER
water filter (optional accessory, order no.
4.730-059) is recommended.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Î Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling.
(Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm),
minimum length 7.5 m).
Î Screw the coupling element (supplied)
to the water connection on the appli-
ance.
Î Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa-
ter supply.
Caution
Dry runs lasting longer than two minutes
lead to damages to the high pressure
pump. If the appliance does not build up
pressure within two minutes, switch it off
and proceed as instructed in the Chapter
"Troubleshooting".
Î
Connect the high pressure hose to the
high pressure connection of the appli-
ance.
