Kärcher pump
Initial Use
All Kärcher pumps ship with oil already inside di-
rect from the factory. There is no need to add oil.
Pump Inspection
You should routinely make a visual inspection of
the pressure washer's pump. If you notice oil leak-
ing around the pump seals, you should take the
pressure washer to a Kärcher-Authorized Service
Center for repair. (You can locate a service center
in your area online at www.karcherresiden-
tial.com)
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse deck and
surrounding area with fresh water. If using deter-
gent, apply to surface at low pressure. For best re-
sults, limit your work area to smaller sections of
approximately 25 square feet. Allow detergent to
remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow de-
tergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high pressure
in a long sweeping motion keeping the spray noz-
zle approximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning
surface. Always clean from top to bottom and from
left to right. When moving on to a new section of
the cleaning surface, be sure to overlap the previ-
ous section to eliminate stop marks and ensure a
more even cleaning result.
CAUTION
Do not use Dirtblaster spray nozzle on wood
surface as it may cause damage.
