Water supply

According to the applicable regula-

separator as per EN 12729 Type BA.
Note: Impurities in the water can damage
the high-pressure pump and the accesso-
ries. For protection, the use of the Kärcher
water filter (optional accessory, order no.
4.730-059) is recommended.

the water connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the
