According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be 
used on the drinking water net with-
out a system separator. Use a suita-
ble system separator manufactured by 
Kärcher; or, as an alternative, a system sepa-
rator as per EN 12729 Type BA.

Note:

 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.
For connection values, see type plate/techni-
cal data.

Î

Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not in-
cluded) with a standard coupling. (Mini-
mum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm), 
minimum length 7.5 m).

Figure K

Î

Screw the coupling unit (supplied) to the 
water connection on the appliance.

Î

Push the water supply hose onto the cou-
pling unit, then connect it to the water sup-
ply.

This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work 
with the Kärcher suction hose with backflow 
valve (Optional accessory, order no. 4.440-
238) to draw in surface water, e.g. from water 
butts or ponds (see specifications for max. 
suction height). 

Î

Fill the Kärcher suction hose with backflow 
valve with water, screw to water supply 
and hang into he water butt.

Î

Separate the high pressure hose from the 
high pressure connection point of the ap-
pliance.

Î

Switch the appliance on "I/ON" and oper-
ate until the water exits the high-pressure 
connection without bubbles.

Î

Turn off the appliance "0/OFF".

Caution

Never operate the high-pressure cleaner 
when the tap is turned off as dry running will 
damage the high-pressure pump.

Figure L

Î

Connect the high pressure hose to the 
high pressure connection of the appli-
ance.

Figure M

Î

Push the spray lance into the trigger gun 
and fasten it by turning it through 90°.

Figure N

Î

Completely open the water tap.

Î

Insert the mains plug into the socket. 

Figure O

Î

Turn on the appliance “I/ON”.

Danger

The trigger gun is subjected to a recoil force 
when the water jet is discharged. Make sure 
that you have a firm footing and are also hold-
ing the trigger gun and spray lance firmly.

Î

Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.

Î

Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the de-
vice will switch on.

Note:

 Release the lever of the trigger gun; the 

device will switch off again. High pressure re-
mains in the system.

Carrying out the most common cleaning 
tasks. The work pressure can be stagelessly 
regulated between "Min" and "Max".

Î

Release the lever on the trigger gun. 

Î

Turn the spray lance to the desired posi-
tion.

For strong contaminations.
Not suitable for use with detergents.

We recommend the Kärcher cleaning and 
care program that will match the respective 
cleaning requirements. Please seek consulta-
tion or request information on the subject.

Use spray lance with pressure regulation 
(Vario Power).
