Frequently Asked Questions - K 4.700 MD Kärcher

How to connect the device to the water supply?
Connect the reinforced water hose (min. diameter 1/2 inch) to the water inlet of the device using the supplied connector. Fully open the water tap. Observe local regulations: use a system separator conforming to EN 12729 type BA if necessary.
How to use the Vario Power lance?
The Vario Power lance allows continuous adjustment of working pressure from 'Min' to 'Max'. To do this, release the trigger, turn the lance to the desired position. For detergent work, set it to the 'Mix' position.
Can I use detergents other than Kärcher?
Kärcher recommends using only its detergents and care products, as they are specially designed for the device. Using other products may cause faster wear and void the warranty.
How to draw water from an open reservoir?
Use the Kärcher suction hose with non-return valve (ref. 4.440-238). Fill it with water, screw it onto the water connection of the device, then immerse it in the tank. Bleed the device by running it without the high-pressure hose until water comes out without bubbles (max. 2 min).
What to do if the device does not build up pressure?
Check the pressure setting on the lance. Bleed the device: run it without the lance (max. 2 min) until water comes out without bubbles. Check the water supply and clean the water inlet filter using pliers.
How to protect the device from frost?
Completely drain the water: disconnect the water supply, remove the lance, turn on the device and pull the trigger until no more water comes out (approx. 1 min). Store the device and accessories in a frost-free location.
What are the safety devices?
The device is equipped with a main switch (prevents accidental starts), a trigger gun lock, and a discharge valve with pressure switch that stops the pump when the trigger is released.
How to maintain the high-pressure cleaner?
The device requires no special maintenance. Clean the water inlet filter regularly with running water. Before prolonged storage, drain the water completely to prevent frost damage.
Can car tires be washed with the rotating nozzle?
No, the rotating nozzle (rotary jet) should not be used on tires, bodywork, or sensitive surfaces like wood. It can damage tires and valves. Use the Vario Power lance for these surfaces.
How to store the high-pressure hose?
After use, turn the hose reel crank counterclockwise to fully wind the hose. Place the trigger gun with lance in its holder. Store the cable and accessories on the device.

The high-pressure cleaner must never be connected to the drinking water supply without a separator system, and never directly to the mains!

Note: Water with impurities can cause damage to the high-pressure pump and the device. To protect against this, use a KARCHER water filter (special accessory, order number 4.730-059).

Water connection

Observe the regulations of the water supply company.

Water quality. See technical data.

→ Use a water hose with a suitable material (not included in the delivery) with a standard coupling. (Diameter: minimum 1/2 inch or 13 mm; recommended length 7.5 m).

Connect the suction hose to the water supply element.

Screw the water hose onto the suction hose connection, then tighten it to the water hose.

Water supply from open containers

The high-pressure cleaner with KARCHER suction hose and check valve (special accessory, order no. 4.440-238) is intended for suctioning water from open reservoirs, e.g., from containers, from a pond or from a cistern (max. suction height see section "Technical data").

Fill the KARCHER suction hose with the check valve with water, connect it to the water supply element and hang it into the water source.

Venting the device: Switch on the device without connecting the high-pressure hose and let it run (no longer than 2 minutes) until water exits the high-pressure hose without air bubbles. Switch off the device and reconnect the high-pressure hose.

Operation

Running dry for more than 2 minutes leads to damage to the high-pressure pump. If the device does not draw water after 2 minutes, switch it off and follow the instructions in the chapter "Troubleshooting".

Pull out and turn the quick-release coupling hose, and secure it by turning it 90°.

Unwind the high-pressure hose from the drum. When doing so, hold the handle for transport.

Note: If the handle is in the locked position, it must first be pulled upwards.

Connect the device to the mains. Insert the plug into the socket. Turn on the device (I/ON).

Operation

Caution!

The water jet coming out of the nozzle under high pressure can cause injury to the hands and feet. For this reason, keep a safe distance and hold the spray gun with the spray lance firmly.

Warning!

Before starting the device, make sure that it is placed on a level surface when operating at high pressure. During operation, use protective goggles and protective clothing.

Unlock the trigger of the spray gun. Pull the trigger, the device switches on.

Note: If the trigger is released again, the device switches off again. High pressure is maintained in the system.

Spray lance with pressure adjustment (Vario Power)

Recommended cleaning methods

Spray a small amount of cleaning agent onto the dry surface and let it act (do not let it dry). Rinse off the dissolved dirt with a high-pressure jet.

Operation

Release the trigger of the spray gun to lock the trigger of the spray gun. During breaks (interruptions), the device must be switched off (O/OFF). Insert the spray gun into the holder.

End of operation

Warning!

Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the device. Only use a damp cloth, not wet.

Remove the tank for the main substance from the mounting and close it with the cap. Turn the device 180° and install it in the mounting. → Turn the valve handle to the "0/OFF" (0/CLOSED) position. → Close the water supply tap. Disconnect the device from the water supply. Caution: When removing the pressure hose or high-pressure hose during operation, hot water may splash out of the connection. → Press the valve handle to change the pressure in the system.
