The pressure washer can draw water from water butts and 
cisterns and from running or stagnant bodies of water.
So that the water can be drawn in, the height difference 
between the pressure washer and the water source should 
not exceed the maximum suction lift (a), @ 19.1.
The appropriate STIHL suction set must be used. The 
suction set includes a water hose with a special coupling.
Depending on the market, the appropriate STIHL suction set 
may be supplied with the pressure washer.

water butts, cisterns or running or stagnant bodies of water, 
a water filter must be connected in-line between the water 
hose and the pressure washer.
Depending on the market, the water filter may be supplied
