suitable system separator manufactured by
KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system

separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
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.

nection of the device.

tions for max. suction height).

nection of the device.
Fill the KÄRCHER suction hose with
backflow valve with water, screw to wa-
ter supply and hang into he water butt.
