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. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
 Connect the supply hose (minimum
length 7.5 m, minimum diameter 3/4") to
the water connection point of the ma-
chine and at the water supply point (for
e.g. a tap).

container. Never suck in liquids which con-
tain solvents like lacquer thinner, petrol, oil
or unfiltered water. The sealings within the
device are not solvent resistant. The spray
mist of solvents is highly inflammable, ex-
plosive and poisonous.

ter 3/4") with filter (accessory) to the
water connection point.

used by children. (Risk of accident on
account of improper use of the appli-
ance).

levels of noise when the appliance is in
use. Risk of hearing impairment. Al-
ways use proper ear-protection aids
while working with the appliance.
–
The water jet coming out of the high
pressure nozzle causes the gun to re-
coil. Further, an angular spray pipe can
cause additional torque. Hence hold the
spray pipe and gun firmly.
–
Never direct the water jet on to persons,
animals, the appliance itself or electrical
components.
–
Vehicle tyres/ tyre valves may be
cleaned only with a minimum spray dis-
tance of 30 cm. Otherwise, the high
pressure spray can cause damage to
the vehicle tyre/ tyre valve. The discol-
ouring of the tyre is the fhe first sign of
damage. Damaged vehicle tyres are a
source of danger.
