Running this product indoors can
result in death due to carbon monox-
ide, a poison gas you cannot see or
smell. Never operate indoors, even if
windows and doors are open. Only
use outdoor and far away from win-
dows, doors, and openings or vents.
Risk of asphyxiation – Use this
product only in a well ventilated area.

relieve spray gun pressure before pull-
ing starter cord. Pull starter cord
slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
rapidly.
When connecting to water supply
mains, local regulations of your
municipal water company must be
observed. In some areas connecting
directly to public drinking water supply

device. This is to ensure that there is
no feedback of chemicals into the
water supply. Use a water filter to
avoid potential damage from dirt in the
water supply.
Garden hose must be at least 5/8
inch diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2.5 GPM

Cleaning Procedure:
1. Position the tip of the wand 6-8”
(15-20 cm) away from the surface to
clean at a 45°angle.
The color-coded quick connect
nozzles provide a wide array of spray
widths from 0° to 65° and are easily
accessible when placed in the
convenient nozzle holder.
0° spray angle = Red nozzle
For particularly stubborn accumulation
of grime. Not recommended for soft
materials like sidings, decks, painted
surfaces, cars.
15° spray angle = Yellow nozzle
For dirt accumulation over a surface.
25° spray angle = Green nozzle
For dirt accumulation over a large
surface.
40° spray angle = White nozzle
For moderate dirt accumulation over a
large surface.
Soap = Black nozzle
For operating with detergents or
cleaning with low pressure.
High pressure in nozzle area. Risk of
injury caused by improperly locked
nozzle.
Make sure you hear the "click" when
inserting the nozzle tip into the quick
connection.
Pull the nozzle to make sure it is
seated properly before operating your
unit.
To avoid serious injury never point
spray nozzle at yourself, other
persons or animals.
The pressure can be adjusted by
changing the speed of the engine
using the throttle lever.
Turning the throttle lever to the left can
increase the speed to get more
pressure.
Using the Accessories
Quick Connect Nozzles
Adjusting Water Pressure
English 13
Turning the throttle lever to the right
can decrease the speed to get less
pressure.
When adjusting the engine throttle to
the lowest setting, do not operate the
pump. This can cause the engine to
stall due to lack of power.
NOTE: Detergents can only be applied
with the black detergent nozzle.
1. Install the black detergent nozzle for
detergent application at low pressure.
2. Fill the detergent tank with Kärcher
Brand Detergent.
3. With the engine running, pull trigger
to operate unit.
4. Liquid detergent is drawn into the unit
and mixed with water.

surface.
7. Always flush the detergent bottle with
fresh water when the cleaning job is
done, to rinse/flush any remaining
detergents from the injection system.
NOTE: For best results see Cleaning
Tips for specific information on how to
clean different surfaces.
This unit has been designed for use
with cleaning detergents
recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other cleaning detergent
may affect the operation of the
machine and void the warranty.
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 filter and will protect the
internal parts of the pressure washer
for a longer life. For Kärcher
Detergents, check your retailer or visit
our website:

Pump Inspection
You should routinely make a visual
inspection 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.karcher-service.com).
Carry out maintenance tasks for the
engine according to the specifications
provided in the operating instructions
provided by engine manufacturer.
With or Without Detergent
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area
with fresh water. If using Kärcher Deck
Wash, apply to surface at low pres-
sure. For best results, limit your work
area to smaller sections of approxi-
mately 25 square feet. Allow Deck
Wash to remain on surface 1-3 min-
utes. 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.
With or Without Detergent
Pre-rinse vehicle with fresh water. If
using Kärcher Touchless Vehicle
Wash, apply to surface at low pres-
sure. For best results, clean one side
of vehicle at a time and always apply
detergent from bottom to top, do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. If
needed, use special wash brush
attachment (not included) to remove
stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure
in a sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 6-8 inches
from the cleaning surface (distance
should increase when rinsing pin-
striping or other sensitive surfaces).
Always clean from top to bottom and
from left to right. For best results, wipe
surface dry with a chamois or soft dry
cloth.

Before cleaning any surface, an
inconspicuous area should be
cleaned to test spray pattern and dis-
tance for maximum cleaning results.
