Dear Customer,
Please read and comply with
these instructions prior to the
initial operation of your appliance. Retain
these operating instructions for future refer-
ence or for subsequent possessors.
This high-pressure cleaner is designed for
domestic use only:
– to clean machines, vehicles, buildings,
tools, facades, terraces, garden equip-
ment etc. using a high-pressure water
jet (and detergents if required).

centre, and supported by documentary evi-
dence of purchase.
Danger
!Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
!The appliance must not be used if the
power cable or important parts of the
appliance, e.g. safety devices, high-
pressure hoses, spray guns, are dam-
aged.
!The appliance may not be used in areas
where a risk of explosion is present.
!If the appliance is used in hazardous ar-
eas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be
observed.
!Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage before every use. If the
power cord is damaged, please arrange
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled
electrician.
!High-pressure jets can
be dangerous if im-
properly used. The jet
must not be directed at
persons, animals, live electrical equip-
ment or at the appliance itself.
!The jet must not be directed at other
persons or directed by the user at him/
herself to clean clothing or footwear.
!Never use the appliance to clean ob-
jects containing hazardous substances
(e.g. asbestos).
!Vehicle tyres or tyre valves are suscep-
tible to damage from the high-pressure
jet and may burst. The first indication of
this is a discolouration of the tyre. Dam-
aged vehicle tyres/tyre valves are highly
dangerous. Ensure that a distance of at
least 30 cm is observed when cleaning
with the jet!
!Never draw in fluids containing solvents
or undiluted acids and solvents! This in-
cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is

highly inflammable, explosive and poi-
sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents as they are aggres-
sive towards the materials from which
the appliance is made.
몇Warning
!Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use extension cables
outdoors which have been approved for
this purpose and labelled with a suffi-
cient cable cross section:
1 - 10 m: 1,5 mm2
10 - 30 m: 2,5 mm2
!Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange
for the immediate exchange of a dam-
aged high-pressure hose.
!High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the
appliance. Only use high-pressure hos-
es, fixtures and couplings recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
!Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried
out using washing stations equipped
with an oil separator.
Note
!The appliance must not be operated by
children or persons who have not been
instructed accordingly.
!Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the ap-
pliance.
!The operator must use the appliance
properly. When working with the appli-
ance, he must consider the local condi-
tions and pay due care and attention to
other persons, in particular children,
who are nearby.

when using the jet to clean painted sur-
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.
!Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against back spray
containing water or dirt.
!Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is in operation.
!This appliance was designed to be used
with detergents which are supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other detergents or chemi-
cals may compromise the safety of the
appliance.
!Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run-
ning over, pinching, dragging or similar.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
!The connection between the power ca-
ble and extension cable must not lie in
water.
!All current-conducting parts in the work-
ing area must be protected against jet
water.
!The appliance may only be connected
to an electrical supply which has been
installed in accordance with IEC 60364.
!The appliance may only be connected
to alternating current. The voltage must
correspond with the type plate on the
appliance.
!The minimum fuse rating required at the
socket outlet is 10 A (slow-blow).
!To avoid accidents due to electrical
faults we recommend the use of sockets
with a line-side current-limiting circuit
breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping
current).
!The plug and coupling of the extension
cable used must be watertight.
!Always fully unroll electrical cables from
the cable drum.
Safety devices prevent injury and may not
be modified or bypassed.

Before start up, please assemble the
parts as shown in the illustrations on
page 2.
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.
Observe regulations of water supplier.
"Use a fibre-reinforced hose (not includ-
ed) with a standard coupling: - Minimum
diameter, 1/2 inches (13 mm). - Mini-
mum length, 7.5 m.
"Screw the coupling unit (supplied) to the
water connection on the appliance.
"Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the tap.
몇Caution
Never operate the high-pressure cleaner
when the tap is turned off as dry running will
damage the HP pump.
If the water supply is not clean, the Kärcher
water filter must be used (special accessory
- order No. 4.730-059).
When fitted with the appropriate accesso-
ries, this high-pressure cleaner can draw in
surface water, e.g. from water butts or
ponds (max. suction height 0.5 m).
"Use the Kärcher water filter to protect
the HP pump and accessories (special
accessories, order no. 4.730-059). This
filter removes dirt from incoming water.
"As the standard coupling system is not
suitable for use in suction mode, the
Kärcher suction hose with integrated fil-
ter should be used instead (special ac-
cessory, order no. 4.440-238) and
suspended inside the water butt.
"Remove air from appliance before oper-
ation: Switch on the appliance when the
HP hose is not connected and run it until
the water which discharges from the HP
outlet is free of bubbles. Switch off ap-
pliance and connect HP hose.
Note: The appliance deaerates faster if
you first fill the suction hose with water.
