Tools

(with or without detergent)

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water.
If using Kärcher All Purpose Cleaner or
Degreaser, place detergent  suction tube
directly into cleaning solution and apply
detergent at low pressure. Allow Kärcher
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes.
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Rinse at high pressure keeping the spray
nozzle approximately 3-6 inches from the
cleaning surface. For removing extremely
stubborn dirt, it may be necessary to move
the spray nozzle even closer to the surface
for greater dirt cutting action. To remove
caked on mud from garbage cans, lawn
mower blades, wheel barrels or other
non-sensitive metal surfaces, you may want
to use the Karcher Rotating Nozzle Spray
Wand.

Caution: Do not use rotating nozzle spray
wand on cloth, plastic or other sensitive
surfaces as it may cause damage.

Optional cleaning accessories are available to further enhance your cleaning capabilities:
See accessories order form for product descriptions and ordering instructions.
