Park the appliance on an even surface.
Illustration
Unwind the high pressure hose completely from the
hose drum. Hold on to the transport handle during
this procedure.
Note
: If the hand crank is in its secured position,
fold it up first.
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
Screw the coupling element to the water connec-
tion on the appliance.
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.
Note:
The max. suction height is 0.5 m.
CLICK FITTINGS MUST NOT BE USED!
KÄRCHER recommends using the suction hose acces-
sory (sold separately) Order no. 9.505-779.0.
STEP 1:
Connect the suction hose to the water inlet on the
pressure cleaner and drop the other end into a
bucket.
Tip
: If you are not using this accessory, coil a hose
into the bucket and ensure that you only use a
standard hose clamp to connect to the pressure
washer.
STEP 2:
Fill up your bucket with water.
STEP 3:
Connect the KÄRCHER power cord to an electricity
source and turn on at powerpoint. Make sure the
high pressure nozzle is not connected and turn the
unit on at the ON/OFF switch. Press the trigger on
the gun - the unit is ready for use once there is a
constant water system.
STEP 4:
Connect the high pressure nozzle and press the
hand trigger to begin cleaning.
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".
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.
Illustration
Push the spray lance into the trigger gun and fasten
it by turning it through 90°.
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 device
will switch off again. High pressure remains in the sys-
tem.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage to the paintwork
When working with the washing brush, it must be free of
dirt or other particles.
Push the washing brush into the trigger gun and
fasten it by a 90° turn.
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.
Notes regarding the detergent
: The most commonly
used KÄRCHER detergents can be purchased ready to
use in their Plug 'n' Clean detergent bottles with locking
lids. This will make the pesky refilling and filling process-
es redundant.
Illustration
Remove the lid from the Plug 'n' Clean detergent
bottle and press the detergent bottle into the deter-
gent connection with the opening facing down.
Illustration
Adjust the suction volume of the detergent solution
by means of the dosage regulator for detergents.
Use spray lance with pressure regulation (Vario
Power).
Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position.
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.
