CAUTION
Failure to follow the above directions
will result in damage to the pump as-
sembly and accessories and will void
the warranty.
Kärcher also recommends the regular
practice of using a pump protector like
“Kärcher Pump Guard” to prevent cold
weather damage during storage in the
winter months.
All Kärcher pumps ship with oil already
inside direct from the factory. There is
no need to add oil.
You should routinely make a visual in-
spection of the pressure washer’s
pump. If you notice oil leaking around
the pump seals, you should take the
pressure washer to a Kärcher-Autho-
rized Service Center for repair. (You
can locate a service center in the USA
or Canada online

Carry out maintenance tasks for the en-
gine according to the specifications pro-
vided in the operating instructions
provided by engine manufacturer.
