Connect a water supply hose (not supplied) to

recommend fitting a filter.
A suitable filter with 1" connection is available
under Order No. 2.638-270.
Suction
Observe the following if you are drawing water
from an open container:
– Attach a suction hose with filter (order no.
4.440-238) directly to the appliance.
– Allow the pump to operate without the high-
pressure hose until water appears at the high-
pressure outlet without any more bubbles.
– Then re-attach the high-pressure hose.
