IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS – Read First!
Safety Warnings
When using this product, basic precautions
should always be followed:
• Read all the instructions before using
the product.
• High pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be
directed at persons, animals, electrical
devices, or the machine itself.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not
operate the machine near children.
• Learn how to stop the machine and
release pressure quickly. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls.
• Stay alert — watch what you are doing.
• Wear safety goggles.
• Do not use acids, sol-
vents, or any flammable
material in this product. These products
can cause physical injuries to the
operator and irreversible damage to the
machine.
• Do not operate the product when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Keep operating area clear of all
persons.
• Do not stand on unstable surfaces.
Stand with both feet balanced at all
times.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet 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.
Extension Cords
Use a sufficient gauge: Up to 25 ft. = 12/3
AWG; 25 to 50 ft. = 10/3 AWG. Use only
extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by
the marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in use.”
Use only extension cords having an electrical
rating not less than the rating of the product.
Do not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and
replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension
cord and do not yank on any cord to
disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and
sharp edges. Always disconnect the exten-
sion cord from the receptacle before
disconnecting the product from the extension
cord. If you are using an extension cord, it
should always be completely unwound from
the cable drum.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) Protection
This product is supplied with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the power
cord plug. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electric shock. If
power is interrupted in the line, the GFCI will
automatically re-close the circuit to the load
after power is restored. Depending on the
GFCI model, it may be necessary to
manually operate the reset button to restore
power to the GFCI load circuit. If replace-
ment of the plug or cord is needed use
identical replacement parts.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER- Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use any type of adapter
with this produc t.
Caution
• Follow the maintenance instructions
specified in the manual.
• This machine has been designed for
use with cleaning detergent supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of other cleaning detergents may
affect the operation of the machine and
void the warranty.

GFCI INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE ACCESSORIES
The spray wand allows you to adjust the cleaning pressure. To clean at maximum
pressure, the spray wand must be positioned to the high pressure setting (+).
To apply detergent, the wand must be positioned to the low pressure setting (-).
Vario power spray wand
For higher pressure turn
wand collar in the
plus (+) direction.
For lower pressure turn
wand collar in the
minus (–) direction.
This wand features a 0º pencil jet which
rotates 360º for maximum dirt cutting action,
effectively increasing cleaning performance
up to 50%. This wand combines the cleaning
performance of a 0º pencil jet with the
surface coverage of a wide angle nozzle. Not
recommended for soft materials, siding,
painted surfaces, decks or autos.
Rotary spray wand
Wash brush
This brush is ideal for removing stubborn
dirt and stains from finished surfaces. Use
with detergents only.

For best results see Cleaning Tips on pages 9 & 10 for specific information on
how to clean different surfaces.
Always Use Karcher Detergents for Best Results.
Karcher biodegradable detergents are specially formulated to protect the environment and your
pressure washer. Our special formula won’t clog the suction tube filter and will protect the internal
parts of the pressure washer for a longer life. For Karcher Detergents, check your retailer or call:
WORKING WITH DETERGENTS
Step 1 Install the Wash Brush or Vario spray wand. Set the Vario spray
wand to the low pressure setting (–) by turning the wand collar. The wand must
be set in the low pressure (–) position to apply detergents.
Karcher pressure washers operate only at two pressures. The high pressure setting is used
for cleaning, you cannot apply detergents when working at high pressure. To apply deter-
gents the washer must be operating at low pressure (–).
Step 3 Turn on the pressure washer.
Pull trigger to operate unit: Liquid detergent
is drawn into the unit and mixed with water.
Apply detergent to work area. Do not allow
detergent to dry on surface.
Step 2 Fill a container with Kärcher
detergent. Place the filter end of detergent
suction tube into the container.
Caution
Never use:
• Bleach, Chlorine products and other
corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents
(i.e., paint thinner, gasoline, oils)
• Trisodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and
will damage the surface being cleaned.

Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck and Patio
Cleaner, place detergent suction tube
directly into cleaning solution and apply to
surface at low pressure. For best results,
limit your work area to smaller sections of
approximately 25 square feet. Allow Kärcher
Deck and Patio Cleaner 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 rotary spray wand
on wood surfaces as it may cause
damage.
House Siding
(with or without detergent)

detergent from bottom to top). Allow
Kärcher House or Window and Siding
Cleaner to remain on surface 1-3 minutes.
Do not allow detergent to dry on surface, if
surface appears to be drying, simply wet
down surface with fresh water. If needed,
use special Wash Brush Attachment to
remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high
pressure from top to bottom in an even
sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 6 inches from the cleaning
surface.
Caution: Do not use rotary spray wand
