Hazard levels
Danger
Immediate danger that can cause severe injury or even death.
Warning
Possible hazardous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death.
Caution
Possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury to persons or damage to property.
Proper Use
This high-pressure cleaner is designed for domestic use only: – to clean machines, vehicles, buildings,
tools, facades, terraces, garden equip­ment etc. using a high-pressure water jet (and detergents if required).
– with accessories, replacement parts
and detergents approved by KÄRCH­ER. Observe the instructions provided with these detergents.
High pressure hose
The high pressure hose is specially con­structed with reinforced walls to handle wa­ter pressure up to 11 MPa (1600 psi) - it can be easily damaged and should be stored carefully.
Do not kink.Do not drive vehicles over the hose.Do not expose the hose to sharp edges
or corners.
Misuse will lead to ballooning or premature failure and will invalidate warranty.
Safety Devices
Caution
Safety devices protect the user and must not be modified or bypassed.
Power switch
The appliance switch prevents unintention­al operation of the appliance.
Lock trigger gun
This lock locks the lever of the trigger gun and prevents the inadvertent start of the ap­pliance.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
If the lever on the trigger gun is released the pressure switch turns off the pump, the high-pressure jet ist stopped. If the lever is pulled the pump is turned on again.
Safety instructions
Danger
Never touch the mains plug and the
socket with wet hands.
The appliance must not be used if the
power cord or important parts of the ap­pliance, e.g. high-pressure hoses, trig­ger gun or safety devices are damaged.
Check the power cord and mains plug
for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange for it to be replaced immediately by an authorised repair agent or a skilled electrician
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-
age before every use. Please arrange for the immediate replacement of a damaged high-pressure hose.
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 corre­sponding safety provisions must be observed.
High-pressure jets can be
dangerous if improperly used. The jet must not be directed at persons, ani­mals, live electrical equipment or at the appliance itself.
The high-pressure jet must not be di-
rected 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. Dam­aged 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 in­cludes petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil. The spray mist thus generated is highly inflammable, explosive and poi­sonous. Do not use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as they are damag­ing to the materials from which the ap­pliance is made.
Warning
The mains plug and the coupling of an
extension cable must be watertight and must never lay in the water.
Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use extension cables outdoors which have been approved for this purpose and labelled with a suffi­cient cable cross-section: 1 - 10 m: 1.5 mm
Always fully unroll electrical cables from
the cable drum.
High-pressure hoses, fixtures and cou-
plings are important for the safety of the appliance. Only use high-pressure hos­es, fixtures and couplings recommend­ed by the manufacturer.
This appliance is not intended for use
by persons with reduced physical, sen­sory or mental capabilities. The appliance must not be operated by children or persons who have not been instructed accordingly. Children should be supervised to pre­vent them from playing with the appli­ance.
The operator must use the appliance
correctly. When working with the appli­ance, he must consider the local condi­tions and pay due care and attention to other persons, in particular children, who are nearby.
Do not use the appliance when there
are other persons around unless they are also wearing safety equipment.
Wear protective clothing and safety
goggles to protect against splash back containing water or dirt.

when it is in operation.
Make sure that the power cable or ex-
tension cables are not damaged by run­ning over, pinching, dragging or similar. Protect the power cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

the secure connection by pulling on the
high-pressure hose.
According to the applicable regula­tions, 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 con­sidered 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/tech­nical data. Î Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling. (Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm), minimum length 7.5 m).
Î Screw the coupling unit (supplied) to
the water connection on the appliance.
Î Push the water supply hose onto the
coupling unit, then connect it to the wa­ter supply.
