Startup
We recommend using only original Kärcher suction hoses, filter components and hose connections. Using components from other manufacturers can lead to malfunctions when sucking the feed fluid, especially when using bayonet connection systems.
Before initial startup
Preparation
Remove the sealing plug.
Screw the connection adapter into the suction connection of the pump (inlet). Manually tighten.
Connect a vacuum-tight suction hose
Note
If the water is dirty, we recommend fitting a pre-filter (seeSpecial accessories) between the check valve and the suction hose.
Note
To shorten the re-suction time, use a suction hose with backflow stop. This prevents the suction hose from emptying after use (seeSpecial accessories).
Screw the connection adapter into the pressure connection of the pump (outlet). Manually tighten.
Open the filling nozzle cap.
Fill the pump with water until it overflows.
Operation
Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
Switch the device on with the ON/OFF switch.
To shorten the suction time, raise the pressure hose approx. 1 m.
Wait until the pump simultaneously sucks and delivers.
CAUTION
Danger due to dry running
Dry running damages the pump.
Do not let the pump run dry!
Do not leave the pump unattended during operation.
ATTENTION
Risk of injury. The system is pressurised!
Risk of injury.
(for pressure see chapter "Technical data")
Ending operation
Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Troubleshooting guide
Malfunctions often have simple causes that you can remedy yourself using the following overview. When in doubt, or in the case of malfunctions not mentioned here, please contact your authorised Customer Service.
Pump is running, but not delivering
Cause:
Air is in the pump.
Remedy:
Check for correct startup (see chapter Preparation and Operation ).
Cause:
Dirt particles block the suction area.
Remedy:
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Clean the suction area.
Cause:
The suction hose or the connection adapter is not correctly screwed in.
Remedy:
Check that the seals are fitted correctly.
Manually tighten the suction hose and connection adapter.
Cause:
The pre-filter is clogged.
Remedy:
Clean the pre-filter.
The pump does not start up, or stops suddenly during operation
Cause:
The power supply is disconnected.
Remedy:
Check the fuses and the electrical connections.
The pump capacity drops or is too low
Cause:
The suction area is clogged.
Remedy:
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Cause:
The delivery rate of the pump depends on the delivery head and the connected periphery.
Remedy:
Observe the max. delivery head (see chapter Specifications), select a different hose diameter or a different hose length if necessary.
Cause:
The cross-section on the pressure side is narrowed, e.g. due to the valve/ball tap not being fully open.
Remedy:
Open the valve/ball tap completely.
Cause:
The hose is kinked on the pressure side.
Remedy:
Eliminate the kink points in the hose.
