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.com.au
or
www.karcher.co.nz.)

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

CLEANING TIPS

surrounding area with fresh water. If using Karcher
Multipurpose Cleaner, apply to surface at low
pressure. For best results, limit your work area to
smaller sections of approximately 2 square meter.

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 ap-
proximately 8-15 cm 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.
