Do not allow high pressure hose to become
kinked.

Store the machine and accessories in a
room which does not reach freezing tem-
peratures. DO NOT store near furnace or
other sources of heat as it may dry the pump
seals.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the above directions will
result in damage to the pump assembly and
accessories and will void the warranty.
It is highly recommended to use Kärcher's
Pump Guard (part number 9.558-998.0) be-
fore winter storage and during the cleaning
season to protect the pump from freezing and
premature wear.
Initial Use
All Kärcher pumps ship with oil already inside direct
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.karcher-usa.com/
service).
Pump Maintenance
The pump on your Kärcher pressure washer does
not require maintenance. Any attempts to service
or alter the pump may damage your pressure
washer and void your product warranty.
Carry out maintenance tasks for the engine accord-
ing to the specifi cations provided in the operating
instructions provided by engine manufacturer.

Deck Wash, apply to surface at low pressure. For
best results, limit your work area to smaller sec-

Wash to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high
pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle 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 previous section to eliminate stop marks and
ensure a more even cleaning result.
