Read all the instructions before us-
ing the product.
To reduce the risk of injury, close su-
pervision is necessary when a prod-
uct is used near children.
Know how to stop the product and
bleed pressures quickly. Be thor-
oughly familiar with the controls.
Stay alert – watch what you are doing.
Do not operate the product when fa-
tigued or under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs.

sons.
Do not overreach or stand on unsta-
ble support. Keep good footing and
balance at all times.
Wear safety goggles.
Follow the maintenance instructions
specified in the manual.
WARNING
Risk of Injection or Injury – Do Not Di-
rect Discharge Stream At Persons.
High pressure jets can be dangerous
if misused. The jet must not be di-
rected at persons, animals, electrical
devices, or the unit itself.
Do not spray electrical connections,
electrical outlets or fixtures.
WARNING
Risk Of Explosion – Do not spray
flammable liquids.
Do not use acids, alkaline, solvents,
or any flammable material in this
product. These products can cause
physical injuries to the operator and
irreversible damage to the machine.
WARNING
Gun Kicks Back – Hold with both
hands.
The Trigger Gun Safety Lock pre-
vents the trigger from accidentally
being engaged. This safety feature
DOES NOT lock trigger in the ON
position.
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this prod-
uct contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Operation of this equipment
may create sparks that can start fires
around dry vegetation. A spark ar-
restor may be required. The operator
should contact local fire agencies for
laws or regulations relating to fire
prevention requirements.
CAUTION
Risk of Asphyxiation – Use this prod-
uct only in a well ventilated area.
Operate and fuel machine in a well
ventilated area, free of devices fea-
turing an open pilot or flame such as
boilers, water heaters, etc.
CAUTION
Risk of Fire – Do not add fuel when

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to
the water supply mains, local regula-
tions of your water company must be
observed. In some areas the unit
must not be connected directly to the
public drinking water supply. This is
to ensure that there is no feedback of
chemicals into the water supply. Di-
rect connection via a receiver tank or
backflow preventer, for example, is
permitted.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the
unit. To avoid this risk, we recom-
mend fitting a water filter.
Garden hose must be at least 5/8
inch in diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2.8 GPM (gallons per
minute).
Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning the water for one minute into an
empty 5-gallon container.
The water supply temperature must
not exceed 104°F/40°C.
Never use the pressure washer to
draw in water contaminated with sol-
vents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source. Use additional water
filter.
Do not operate pressure washer
without the water turned on.

Î1: Disconnect all water connections.
Î2: Turn on the machine for a few
seconds, until the water which had
remained in the pump exits, turn off
immediately.
Î3: Do not allow high pressure hose
to become kinked.
Î4: Store the machine and accesso-
ries in a room which does not reach
freezing temperatures. 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 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 your area
online at www.karcherresidential.com)
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 en-
gine according to the specifications pro-
vided in the operating instructions
provided by engine manufacturer.
