Illustration • Lock the detergent tank in place on the appliance. • Connect the suction hose for detergent to the connection. Illustrations - • Attach the accessories holder. Water supply 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 KARCHER; 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 KARCHER water filter (optional accessory, order no. 4.730-059) is recommended. 6 English 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). • 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 water supply. 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 "Help with faults". • Connect the high pressure hose to the high pressure connection of the appliance. • Push the spray lance into the trigger gun and fasten it by turning it through 90°. • Completely open the water tap. • Insert the mains plug into the socket. • Turn on the appliance “I/ON”. Operation . 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. • 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 position. Spray lance with Dirtblaster For...
