Water Supply
(Cold Water Only)
• Water hose must be at least 3/4 inch in
diameter.
• Flow rate of water supply must not fall
below 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute).
• Flow rate can be determined by running
the water for one minute into an empty
5-gallon container.
• The water supply temperature must not
exceed 104°F/40°C.
• Never use the pressure washer to draw in
water contaminated with solvents, e.g.
paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.
• Always prevent debris from being drawn
into the unit by using a clean water
source.
We strongly recommend that this high pres-
sure washer not be left running for periods
of 5 minutes or longer without the trigger
gun being engaged.
This Kärcher high pressure washer is
equipped with thermal protection to extend
the life of your pressure washer. The thermal
protector will automatically activate at a pre-
determined high temperature ejecting hot
water before resetting. This ensures that the
pump does not become damaged.

tions specified in the manual.
