cluded) with a standard coupling. (Mini-
mum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm),
minimum length 7.5 m).
Illustration
Screw the coupling element (supplied) to the
water connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the cou-
pling unit, then connect it to the water sup-

This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work
with the KÄRCHER suction hose with back-
flow valve (Optional accessory, order no.

water butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with
backflow valve with water, screw to water
supply and hang into the water butt.
Separate the high pressure hose from the
high pressure connection of the appliance.
Switch the appliance on (I/ON) for a max.
of 2 minutes and wait until the water exits
the high-pressure connection without bub-
bles.
Turn off the appliance "0/OFF".
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 in-
structed in the Chapter "Troubleshooting".
Illustration
Insert the high pressure hose tightly into
the quick coupling on the appliance, it will
lock in audibly.
Note:
Make sure the connection nipple is
aligned correctly.
Check the secure connection by pulling
on the high-pressure hose.
