Attach the lose individual parts to your 
high pressure cleaner.

Figures 7-8

Î

Join high pressure hose and trigger gun 
together.

Î

Push clip in until it engages and check 
that it is securely fastened by pulling on 
the high pressure hose.

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

For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Observe regulations of water supplier.

Î

Use a fibre-reinforced hose (not includ-
ed) with a standard coupling: 
- Minimum diameter, 1/2 inches (13 mm)
- Minimum length, 7.5 m.

Î

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

Î

Push the water supply hose onto the 
coupling unit, then connect it to the tap.

Caution

Never operate the high-pressure cleaner 
when the tap is turned off as dry running will 
damage the high pressure pump.
If the water supply is not clean, the Kärcher 
water filter must be used (special accesso-
ry - order No. 4.730-059).

When fitted with the appropriate accesso-
ries, this high-pressure cleaner can draw in 
surface water, e.g. from water butts or 
ponds (max. suction height 0.5 m). 

Î

As the standard coupling system is not 
suitable for use in suction mode, the 
Kärcher suction hose with integrated fil-
ter should be used instead (special ac-
cessory, order no. 4.440-238) and 
suspended inside the water butt.

Î

Use the Kärcher water filter to protect 
the high pressure pump and accesso-
ries (special accessories, order no. 
4.730-059). This filter removes dirt from 
incoming water.

Î

Appliance ventilation: Switch on the ap-
pliance without connection the high 
pressure hose and run it until the water 
discharging from the high pressure out-
let is free of bubbles. Switch off appli-
ance and reconnect high pressure hose.

Note

: Fill suction hose with water before 

use, this will help ventilate the pump of air.

Î

Unwind the high pressure hose from the 
hose reel.

Î

Push the appropriate spray lance on to 
the trigger gun and fasten it by turning it 
through 90°.

Î

Open tap.

Î

Plug in the main plug.

Î

Set main switch to “I/ON”.

Î

Press safety catch on the trigger gun to 
release it and pull lever.

Risk of injury

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.

 

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

Î

Release the lever on the trigger gun. 

Î

Turn the spray lance to the desired po-
sition.

For strong contaminations.
