WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE

1:Disconnect all water connections.

2:Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until the water which had remained in the pump exits, turn off immediately.

3:Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.

4:Store the machine and accessories in a room which does not reach freezing tempera- tures. DO NOT store near furnace or other sources of heat as it may dry out 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.

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.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

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 leaking around the pump seals, you should take the pressure washer to a Kärcher-Authorized Service Center for repair. (You can locate a ser- vice center in your area online at www.karcher- residential.com)

Pump Mainenance

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 according to the specifications provided in the operating instructions provided by engine manufacturer.

CLEANING TIPS

Deck Cleaning

 

House Siding

(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using detergent, apply to surface at low pressure.

For best results, limit your work area to smaller sections of approximately 25 square feet. Allow detergent 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.

CAUTION

Do not use Dirtblaster spray nozzle on wood surface as it may cause damage.
