Initial Use

All pumps ship with oil already inside direct from

the factory. There is no need to add oil.

Pump Inspection

You should routinely make a visual inspection of

the pressure washer’s pump. If you notice oil leak-

ing around the pump seals, you should take the

pressure washer to a Kärcher-Authorized Service

Center for repair. (You can locate a service center

in your area online at: https://www.kaercher.
