7.2 Connecting the high-pressure
washer to another water supply
The high-pressure washer can draw in water
from water butts, storage tanks and flowing or
still rivers and lakes.
So that the water can be drawn in, the height dif‐
ference between the high-pressure washer and
the water source must not exceed the max. suc‐
tion lift (a), 18.1.
The appropriate STIHL suction set must be used.
The suction set includes a water hose with a
special coupling.
Depending on the market, the appropriate STIHL
suction set may be included with the high-pres‐
sure washer.
Connecting the water filter
If the high-pressure washer is operated with
water containing sand from water butts, cisterns
or from flowing or still rivers and lakes, a water
filter must be connected to the high-pressure
washer.
Depending on the market, the water filter may be
included with the high-pressure washer.
