Observe regulations of water supplier.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
 Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling.
(Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm),
minimum length 7.5 m).
Caution
Hose couplings made of metal with aquas-
top can damage the pump! Please use
plastic couplings or KÄRCHER brass cou-
plings.
 Illustration
Screw the coupling element to the wa-
ter connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa-
ter supply.
This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work
with the KÄRCHER suction hose with back-
flow valve (Optional accessory, order no.
4.440-238) to draw in surface water, e.g.
from water butts or ponds (see specifica-
tions for max. suction height).
 Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with
backflow valve with water, screw to wa-
ter supply and hang into the water butt.
 Appliance ventilation: Switch the appli-
ance on with the high-pressure hose
detached and operate (max. 2 minutes)
until the water exits the high-pressure
connection without bubbles. Switch off
appliance and reconnect high-pressure
hose.
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 instructed 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.
