Water supply
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.
Water supply from mains
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.

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. 2.643-100) to draw in surface wa-
ter, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications for
max. suction height).
Note: With vacuuming operation, the coupling for the
water connection is not required.
