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.
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!
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
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.
몇 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
2
mm
; 10 - 30 m: 2.5 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.

you operate the appliance only via a
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max.
30 mA).
Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may only be carried
out using washing stations equipped
with an oil separator.
This appliance was designed to be
used with detergents which are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other detergents or
chemicals may compromise the safety
of the appliance.
Safety Devices

Water supply
몇 Warning
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.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appliance!
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.
Use a fibre-reinforced water hose (not
included) with a standard coupling.
(Minimum diameter 1/2 inch (13 mm),
minimum length 7.5 m).
Illustration
Screw the supplied coupling element to
the water connection on the appliance.
Push the water supply hose onto the

How to draw water from a bucket when
using a KÄRCHER Pressure Cleaner
KÄRCHER recommends using the suction
hose accessory (sold separately) Order no.
9.505-779.0.
STEP 1:
Connect the suction hose to the water
inlet on the pressure cleaner and drop
the other end into a bucket.
Tip: If you are not using this accessory, coil
a hose into the bucket and ensure that you
only use a standard hose clamp to connect
to the pressure washer.
CLICK FITTINGS MUST NOT BE USED!
STEP 2:
Fill up your bucket with water.

STEP 3:
Connect the KÄRCHER power cord to
an electricity source and turn on at pow-
erpoint. Make sure the high pressure
nozzle is not connected and turn the
unit on at the ON/OFF switch. Press the
trigger on the gun - the unit is ready for
use once there is a constant water sys-
tem.
STEP 4:
Connect the high pressure nozzle and
press the hand trigger to begin clean-
ing.
Start up
Caution
Dry runs lasting longer than two minutes
lead to damages to the high pressure
pump. If the appliance does not build up
pressure within two minutes, switch it off
and proceed as instructed in the Chapter
"Troubleshooting".
Illustration
Push the spray lance into the trigger
gun and fasten it by turning it through
90°.
Illustration
Unwind the high pressure hose from the
hose drum. Hold on to the transport
handle during this procedure.
Note: If the hand crank is in its secured
position, fold it up first.
Completely open the water tap.
Insert the mains plug into the socket.
Turn on the appliance “I/ON”.
High pressure operation
몇 Danger
The trigger gun is subjected to a recoil force
when the water jet is discharged. Make
sure that you have a firm footing and are
also holding the trigger gun and spray lance
firmly.
Caution
Prior to cleaning, make sure that the high
pressure is placed safely on level ground.
Wear protective goggles and protective
clothing during the cleaning process.
Unlock the lever on the trigger gun.
Pull on the lever of the trigger gun; the
device will switch on.
Note: Release the lever of the trigger gun;
the device will switch off again. High pressure remains in the system.
Spray lance with pressure regulation
Carrying out the most common cleaning
tasks. The work pressure can be stagelessly regulated between "Min" and "Max".
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Turn the spray lance to the desired po-
sition.
Note: Suitable for working with detergent;
for this, turn the spray lance to the "Mix" position.
Spray lance with Dirtblaster
For particularly dirty items or areas.
Caution
Car tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such
as wood should not be cleaned with the dirt
blaster, as there is a risk of damage.
– Not suitable for use with detergents.
– 11
Working with detergent
Please use exclusively KÄRCHER detergents and care products to carry out the respective cleaning task, as these were
specifically developed for your appliance.
The use of other detergents and care products may lead to premature wear and can
invalidate your warranty claims. Please obtain information at your local dealer or request information directly from KÄRCHER.
Notes regarding the detergent: The most
commonly use detergents can be purchased ready to use in their detergent reservoirs with locking lids. This will make the
pesky refilling and filling processes redundant.
Illustration
Remove the lid from the detergent res-
ervoir and press the detergent reservoir
into the detergent connection with the
opening facing down.
Illustration
Adjust the suction volume of the deter-
gent solution by means of the dosage
regulator for detergents.
Use spray lance with pressure regula-
tion (Vario Power).
Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position.
Note: This will mix the detergent with
the water stream.
Note: If required, the washing brushes can
be used to work with detergent.
Recommended cleaning method
Spray the detergent sparingly on the
dry surface and allow it to react, but not
to dry.
Spray off loosened dirt with the high-
pressure jet.
Interrupting operation
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Lock the lever on the trigger gun.
During longer breaks (more than 5 min-
utes), also turn the appliance off using
the "0/OFF" switch.
Insert the trigger gun in its holder.
Finish operation
Caution
Only separate the high-pressure hose from
the trigger gun or the appliance while there
is no pressure in the system.

the intake and close it with the lid. To
store, place into the intake rotated by
180°.
Release the lever on the trigger gun.
Turn off the appliance "0/OFF".
Turn off tap.
Detach the appliance from the water
supply.
Caution: When disconnecting the sup-
ply or high pressure hose, warm water
may leak from the connections after operation.
Press the lever on the trigger gun to re-
lease any remaining pressure in the
system.
Lock the lever on the trigger gun.
Pull out the mains plug.
