Water supply

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.

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.

Water supply from mains

Observe regulations of water supplier.

For connection values, see type plate/tech- nical data.

ÎUse a fibre-reinforced water hose (not included) with a standard coupling. (Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm), minimum length 7.5 m).

ÎScrew the coupling element (supplied) to the water connection on the appliance.

ÎPush the water supply hose onto the coupling unit, then connect it to the wa- ter supply.
