pressure hose.
 Park the appliance laying down (horizontal) on an
even surface.
 Illustration
Push the high pressure hose into the quick cou-
pling until it locks audibly.
 Insert the mains plug into the socket.
For connection values, see type plate/technical data.
ATTENTION
Impurities in the water can damage the high-pressure
pump and the accessories. For protection, the use of
the KÄRCHER water filter (optional accessory, order
no. 4.730-059) is recommended.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
ATTENTION
Hose couplings made of metal with aquastop can dam-
age the pump! Please use plastic couplings or KÄRCH-
ER brass couplings.
 Illustration
Attach the water supply hose to the coupling on the
water connection.
 Connect the water supply hose to the water supply.
 Completely open the water tap.
This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work with the
KÄRCHER suction hose with backflow valve (Optional
accessory, order no. 2.643-100) to draw in surface wa-
ter, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
 Remove coupling from the water connection.
 Fill the suction hose with water.
 Screw the suction hose into the water connection of
the appliance and insert it into the water source
(e.g. rainwater drum).
Remove air from appliance before operation.
 Turn on the appliance “I/ON”.
 Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.
 Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the device will
switch on.
 Let the appliance work until the water exits at the
hand spray gun without bubbles (max. 2 minutes).
 Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Note: Release the lever of the trigger gun; the de-
vice will switch off again. High pressure remains in
the system.
 Lock the lever on the trigger gun.
ATTENTION
Dry running of more than 2 minutes leads to damage of
the high-pressure pump. If the appliance does not build
up pressure within 2 minutes, switch the appliance off
and proceed in accordance with the instructions in
Chapter "Troubleshooting".
ATTENTION
Risk of damage! The appliance must only be oper-
ated laying down (horizontal).
몇
CAUTION
Keep a distance of at least 30 cm when using the jet for
cleaning painted surfaces to avoid damage.
ATTENTION
Car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such as wood
should not be cleaned with the dirt blaster, as there is a
risk of damage.

 Turn on the appliance “I/ON”.
 Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.
 Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the device will
switch on.
Note: Release the lever of the trigger gun; the de-
vice will switch off again. High pressure remains in
the system.
Note: Detergent can only be added when the device is
operated in low pressure mode.

DANGER
When using detergents, the material data safety sheet
issued by the detergent manufacturer must be adhered
to, especially the instructions regarding personal pro-
tective equipment.
 Illustration
Pull detergent suction hose as far as is required out
of the housing.
 Suspend end of detergent suction hose in a con-
tainer filled with detergent.
 Use spray lance with pressure regulation (Vario
Power).
 Turn the spray lance as far as it will go in the direc-
tion of "SOFT".
Note: This will mix the detergent with the water
stream.
 Spray the detergent sparingly on the dry surface
and allow it to react, but not to dry.
 Spray off loosened dirt with the high pressure jet.
 Release the lever on the trigger gun.
 Lock the lever on the trigger gun.
 During longer breaks (more than 5 minutes), also
turn the appliance off using the "0/OFF" switch.
