● Do not overreach or stand on

unstable support. Keep good footing

and balance at all times.

● Follow the maintenance instructions

specified in the manual.

● This product is provided with a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter built

into the power cord plug. If replace-

ment of the plug or cord is needed,

use only identical replacement parts.

Risk of Injection or Injury – Do Not

Direct Discharge Stream At

Persons.

● High-pressure jets can be dangerous

if misused. The jet must not be

directed at persons, animals,

electrical devices, or the unit itself.

● Wear safety goggles and ear

protection.

Risk Of Fire/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.

Risk of Electrocution

● Inspect cord before using - Do not

use if cord is damaged.

● Keep all connections dry and off the

ground.

● Do not touch plug with wet hands.

● Do not use extension cord with this

product.

● Connect to individual branch circuit

only.

This unit has been designed for use

with cleaning detergents

recommended by the manufacturer.

The use of other cleaning deter-

gents may affect the operation of

the machine and void the warranty.

Gun kicks back – Hold with both

hands.

● The trigger gun safety lock prevents

the trigger from accidentally being

engaged. This safety feature must

be engaged when replacing nozzles

or not in use.

● This safety feature DOES NOT lock

spray in the ON position.

● Do not spray electrical connections,

electrical outlets or fixtures.

● Do not use with flammable liquids

and toxic chemicals.

● High-pressure. Keep clear of nozzle.

● Injection hazard: Equipment can

cause serious injury if the spray

penetrates the skin. Do not point the

gun at anyone or any part of the

body. In case of penetration seek

medical aid immediately.

● This system is capable of producing

1700 psi. To avoid rupture and injury,

do not operate this pump with

6 English

components rated less than 1700 psi

working pressure (including but not

limited to spray guns, hose and hose

connections).

● Before servicing, cleaning or

removing any parts, shut off power

and relieve pressure.

● If connection is made to a potable

water system, the system shall be

protected against back flow.

When connecting the water inlet to

the water supply mains, local

regulations 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. Direct connection

via a receiver tank or backflow

preventer, for example,

is permitted.

Use a water filter to avoid potential

damage from dirt in the water

supply

● Garden hose must be at least

5/8 inch (16 mm) in diameter.

● Flow rate of water supply must not

fall below 2 GPM/gallons per minute

(7.6 L/min).

● Flow rate can be determined by run-

ning the water for one minute into an

empty 5-gallon (18.9 liter) container.

● The water supply temperature must

not exceed 104°F/40°C.

● Never use the pressure washer to

draw in water contaminated with

solvents,

e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc.

● Always prevent debris from being

drawn into the unit by using a clean

water source.

This pressure washer is provided with

a ground-fault circuit-interrupter

(GFCI) built into the plug of the power-

supply cord. This device provides

additional protection from the risk of

electric shock. Should replacement of

the plug or cord become necessary,

use only identical replacement parts

that include GFCI protection.

1. Insert wheels into the body of the

machine. Secure with axle pin.

2. Push the handle into place.

3. Install the hose connector to the

water inlet.

4. Attach nozzles to handle.

1. Thread one end of the high pressure

hose tightly onto the high pressure

outlet on the unit.

2. Thread the other end of the high

pressure hose onto the spray gun

inlet.

3. Insert the spray wand into the spray

gun. Press it against the spring

tension and twist into the locked

position.

4. Thread the garden hose onto the

water inlet connector and hand

tighten.

5. Connect the garden hose to the cold

water source and turn the water

completely on.

6. Plug the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) into a working

outlet. We recommend that you test

the GFCI as part of the start up

procedure each time you use the

machine. To learn how to perform

this test, visit Karcher-help.com/ and

search for GFCI.

Do not use if GFCI fails test.

NOTE: The actual appearance of the

GFCI may be different from this

illustration.

7. Unlock the Spray Gun safety lock.

Trigger the gun to eliminate trapped

air. Wait for a steady flow of water to

emerge from the spray nozzle.

English 9

8. Turn on the machine by stepping

down on the foot pedal.

The motor starts when the trigger

of the gun is pulled and shuts off

when the trigger is released.

To avoid serious injury, never point

spray nozzle at yourself, other

persons or animals.

Always test an inconspicuous area

before cleaning with high pressure.

Each of the nozzles has a different

spray pattern. Before starting any

cleaning job, determine the best

nozzle for the job.

The Turbo Nozzle

rotates in a zero

degree spray pattern

in a circular motion to

break down tough dirt

and grime. The spray

pattern can cover an area of 4 to 8

inches (10 to 20 cm), depending on

the distance between the tip and the

surface being cleaned.

The 15° Nozzle is

optimized for

concentrated

cleaning power and

time. Use to remove

paint, stains, mildew,

oil, compacted dirt and grime from

decks, siding, driveways and patios.

The Soap Nozzle is

used to apply cleaning

solution to any

surface. Use to

provide a thorough

cleaning to all

surfaces.

For best results see Cleaning Tips for

specific information on how to clean

different surfaces.

Always Use Kärcher Detergent for

Best Results. Kärcher biodegradable

detergents are specially formulated to

protect the environment and your

pressure washer. The special formula

won’t clog the suction tube and will

protect the internal parts of the

pressure washer for a longer life.

For Kärcher detergents, check your

retailer or visit our website:

Never Use:

● Bleach, chlorine products and other

corrosive chemicals

● Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint

thinners, gasoline, oils)

● Tri-sodium phosphate products

● Ammonia products

● Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the unit

and will damage the surface being

cleaned.

Use of these items will void the

warranty.

Detergents can only be applied at low

pressure.

1. Install the soap nozzle to the quick

connect on the end of the wand.

2. Fill the soap tank with Kärcher

detergent.

3. Turn on the pressure washer by step-

ping on the foot pedal. 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 sur-

face.

4. To rinse, replace the soap nozzle with

the 15° nozzle and pull trigger to

operate.

5. Cleaning Up: Always run fresh water

through the detergent tank when

done to flush any remaining deter-

gents from the injection system.

English 11

1. Release trigger and engage gun

safety lock.

3. Do not allow high-pressure hose to

become kinked.

4. Store the machine and accessories 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.

Failure to follow the above

directions will result in damage to

the pump assembly and accesso-

ries 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.

This unit is maintenance free

● Before cleaning any surface an

inconspicuous area should be

cleaned to test spray pattern and

distance for maximum cleaning

results.

● If painted surfaces are peeling or

chipping, use extreme caution as

pressure washer may remove the

loose paint from the surface.

● When using on surfaces which might

come in contact with food, flush

surfaces with plenty of drinking water.

best results, limit your work area to

smaller sections of approximately

25 sq. ft (2.3 m²). 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 in. (7.5-15

cm) from the cleaning surface. Always

clean from top to bottom and from left
