5.IMPORTANT – CAREAND MAINTENANCE

To ensure prolonged life and trouble-free use of your Karcher Pressure Washer we strongly recommend that you always adopt the following procedures:

Water

•Before use, always check the water inlet filter for dirt or debris.

•Visually check to see if the nozzle is blocked by dirt or grit, if so, remove the dirt from the nozzle hole with a needle and rinse with water from the front.

Failure to do this will seriously damage your machine and invalidate the warranty.

•Connect the water supply hose and, without the lance attached, squeeze the Spray Gun lever to run water through your pressure washer until the water flow is constant. Then plug in to the electric supply.

•Unless drawing water from an open water source such as a water butt, always have a minimum of 10 metres (25 feet) of uncoiled hose between the water tap and your machine. The internal diameter of the feed water hose should be 12 mm (1/2”).

•Water Regulations require the use of a back-flow preventer valve at the tap end of the supply hose.

Only use a full flow connector to connect the hose to the machine.

Electricity

•If using an electrical extension lead it must be rated at a minimum of 13 amps.

•Always fully uncoil any extension lead when used.

Chemicals

Use of chemicals other than those recommended by Karcher could cause significant damage which may not be covered by your warranty.

• After using chemicals, always run fresh water through your machine.
