Water supply

According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be
used on the drinking water supply
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.
Note: Impurities in the water can damage
the high-pressure pump and accessories.
For protection, the use of the Kärcher water
filter (optional accessory, order no. 4.730-
059) is recommended.
Water supply from mains
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).
Screw the coupling unit (supplied) to
the water connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa-
ter supply.
Drawing in water from open reservoirs
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 wa-
ter butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
Fill the Kärcher suction hose with back-
flow valve with water, screw to water
supply and hang into he water butt.
Remove air from appliance before oper-
ation.
Switch on the appliance without mount-
ed spray lance and run it until the water
discharging from the trigger gun is free
of bubbles. Switch off appliance and
connect spray lance.
