gun.

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!
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.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Î
Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling.

minimum length 7.5 m).
Î Screw the coupling element (supplied)
to the water connection on the appli-
ance.
Î Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa-
ter supply.

Î
Connect the suction hose to the water
inlet on the pressure cleaner and drop

a hose into the bucket and ensure that you
only use a standard hose clamp to connect
to the pressure washer.
