Note:

 Make sure the connection nipple

According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be 
used on the drinking water supply

suitable system separator manufactured by

separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water 
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable. 

Caution

Always connect the system separator to the 
water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!

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.
