10 EnglishIllustrations on Page 15 Park the appliance on an even surface.Illustration Put the high-pressure hose through the hose guidefrom the back.Illustration Push the high pressure hose into the trigger gununtil it locks audibly.Note: Make sure the connection nipple is alignedcorrectly.Check the secure connection by pulling on the highpressure hose. Unwind the high pressure hose from the hosedrum. Insert the mains plug into the socket.For connection values, see type plate/technical data.ATTENTIONImpurities in the water can damage the high-pressurepump and the accessories. For protection, the use ofthe KÄRCHER water filter (optional accessory, orderno. 4.730-059) is recommended.Observe regulations of water supplier.ATTENTIONHose couplings made of metal with aquastop can dam-age the pump! Please use plastic couplings or KÄRCH-ER brass couplings.Illustration Screw the coupling element to the water connec-tion on the appliance. Attach the water supply hose to the coupling on thewater connection. Connect the water supply hose to the water supply. Completely open the water tap.This high-pressure cleaner is suited to work with theKÄRCHER suction hose with backflow valve (Optionalaccessory, order no. 2.643-100) to draw in surface wa-ter, e.g. from water butts or ponds (see specifications formax. suction height).Note: With vacuuming operation, the coupling for thewater connection is not required. Fill the suction hose with water. Screw the suction hose into the water connection ofthe appliance and insert it into the water source(e.g. rainwater drum).Bleed the device as follows prior to operation: Turn on the appliance “I/ON”. Unlock the lever of the trigger gun. Push the lever of the trigger gun, the device willswitch on. Let the device run (max. 2 minutes) until the waterexits the trigger gun without bubbles. Release the lever of the trigger gun. Lock the lever of the trigger gun.ATTENTIONDry running of more than 2 minutes leads to damage ofthe high-pressure pump. If the appliance does not buildup pressure within 2 minutes, switch the appliance offand proceed in accordance with the instructions inChapter "Troubleshooting". CAUTIONKeep a distance of at least 30 cm when using the jet forcleaning painted surfaces to avoid damage.ATTENTIONCar tyres, paint or sensitive surfaces such as woodshould not be cleaned with the dirt blaster, as there is arisk of damage. Select a spray lance suitable for the cleaning task.Illustration Push the spray lance into the trigger gun and fastenit by a 90° rotation. Turn on the appliance “I/ON”. Unlock the lever of the trigger gun. Push the lever of the trigger gun, the device willswitch on.Note: Release the lever of the trigger gun; the de-vice will switch off again. High pressure remains inthe system.Full Control spray lance Vario Power Turn the spray lance until the LED of the requiredpressure level is on at the pressure indicator of thetrigger gun.The pressure indicator on the trigger gun shows the cur-rently set pressure level during operation with a FullControl spray lance.Note: The pressure indicator is not significant duringoperation with the T-Racer and other accessories.ATTENTIONThe sensitivity of the materials can strongly differ de-pending on the age and the condition.
