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 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.

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.

CLEANING TIPS

Deck Cleaning

 

House Siding

(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck Wash, apply to surface at low pressure. For best results, limit your work area to smaller sec- tions of approximately 25 square feet. Allow Deck 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.
