Dear Customer,  
Please read and comply with  
Safety instructions  
ƽ Danger  
these instructions prior to the  
initial operation of your appliance. Retain  
these operating instructions for future refer-  
ence or for subsequent possessors.  
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.  
Proper Use  
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).  
with accessories, replacement parts  
and detergents approved by Kärcher.  
Observe the instructions provided with  
these detergents.  
Environmental protection  
The packaging material can be recy-  
cled. Please do not place the packag-  
ing into the ordinary refuse for disposal, but  
arrange for the proper recycling.  
High-pressure jets can be  
dangerous if improperly  
Old appliances contain valuable ma-  
terials that can be recycled. Please  
arrange for the proper recycling of  
old appliances. Please dispose your old ap-  
pliances using appropriate collection sys-  
tems.  
used. The jet must not be  
directed at persons, ani-  
mals, live electrical equipment 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!  
Warranty  
The terms of the guarantee applicable in  
each country have been published by our  
respective national distributors. We will re-  
pair possible faults on your unit free of  
charge within the warranty period, insofar  
as the faults are caused by material defects  
or defective workmanship. Guarantee  
claims should be addressed to your dealer  
or the nearest authorized customer service  
centre, and supported by documentary evi-  
dence of purchase.  
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.  
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.  
Warning  
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:  
2
1 - 10 m: 1,5 mm  
2
10 - 30 m: 2,5 mm  
Check the high-pressure hose for dam-  
age before every use. Please arrange  
for the immediate exchange of a dam-  
aged high-pressure hose.  
Do not use the appliance when there  
are other persons around unless they  
are also wearing safety gear.  
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.  
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.  
Note  
The appliance is not intended for use by  
young children or infirm persons without  
supervision.  
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.  
Observe a distance of at least 30 cm  
when using the jet to clean painted sur-  
faces to avoid damaging paintwork.

Î 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.  
Î 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.  
Spray lance with pressure regulation  
Carrying out the most common cleaning  
tasks. The work pressure can be stageless-  
ly regulated between "Min" and "Max".  
Î Release the lever on the trigger gun.  
Î Turn the spray lance to the desired po-  
sition.  
Spray lance with dirt blaster  
For strong contaminations.  
Î 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.  
Operation with detergent  
Note:  
Detergent can only be added when the ap-  
pliance is being operated in low pressure  
mode.  
All washing brushes supplied by Kärcher  
are designed for use with detergents.  
Î Use spray lance with pressure regula-  
tion (Vario Power).  
Note: Fill suction hose with water before  
use, this will help ventilate the pump of  
air.  
Start up  
Î Turn the spray lance to "Mix" position -  
low pressure.  
Î Screw HP hose on to HP outlet on appli-  
ance.  
Î Push the appropriate spray lance on to  
the trigger gun and fasten it by turning it  
to the right through 90°.  
DT suction infeed from DT tank  
Î During low pressure operation, deter-  
gent is automatically drawn in from the  
filled detergent tank.  
Î Fill the detergent reservoir with, deter-  
gent tablet and water or detergent con-  
centrate and water (observe metering  
recommendations on the packaging la-  
bel of the detergent).  
Î Open tap.  
Î Plug in mains plug.  
Î Set main switch to “I/ON”.  
Î Press safety catch on the trigger gun to  
release it and pull lever.

Risk of injury  
Recommended Cleaning Method  
1
Spray a small dose of the detergent on  
the dry surface, and allow it to react  
(make sure the detergent does not dry  
up).  
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.  
2
Wash off the loosened dirt using the  
high-pressure jet.
