2. REPAIRS
For service and repairs on the pump please contact a
Kärcher Authorized Service Center.
For service and repairs on the engine please contact a
Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Center.
To serve you promptly and efficiently, the Service Center
will need the model, type and serial numbers of your unit.
Attention:
Do not strike flywheel with a hard object or metal tool
as this may cause flywheel to shatter in operation,
causing personal injury or property damage. To
remove flywheel, use Briggs & Stratton approved
tools only.
The relief valve and safety valve must only be
serviced by a properly trained technician.
3. HIGH-PRESSURE HOSES
Particular care should be paid to the hoses. All high-
pressure hoses must comply with the safety regulations
and be marked with their working pressure, date of
manufacture and name of the maker.
High-pressure hoses must not be kinked, twisted, crus-
hed or damaged in any other way. Damaged high-
pressure hoses may burst and are thus dangerous so
they should be replaced without delay.
It is extremely dangerous to use high-pressure hoses of
low durability or that have been inexpertly repaired and
so you should only use high-pressure hoses that have
been tested and marked. Original Kärcher high-pressure
hoses meet these safety requirements.
4. SPARE PARTS
Please bear in mind that the use of other than original
spare parts can lead to faults and also to severe accidents
if the parts have not been properly manufactured or if they
do not exactly replace the part that was faulty or lead to
hazardous operation of the unit.
If only original spare parts are used, you can be sure that
your unit will also work safely and without trouble in the
future.
5. ACCESSORIES
Incorrect, unsuitable or defective accessories affect the
function of your unit. Their use is dangerous and so you
should inquire for suitable and tested accessories. The
use of original accessories from Kärcher is desireable
since they are specially made to suit the units concerned.
6. PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
The cleaner will be severely damaged if it is stored in a
location where the temperature falls below freezing point
without its first being emptied of water or flushed through
with 50 % Anti-freeze solution.
The best protection against freezing is to store the
cleaner and the accessories (high-pressure hose, trigger
gun, spray lance) in a room where the temperature will not
fall to the freezing point.
To empty the cleaner
· Disconnect the cleaner from the water supply.
· Disconnect the HP hose from the cleaner.
· The water will drain out.
A cleaner that may have frozen up should first be thawed
before it is put back into use as otherwise damage may
be caused.
Flushing with Anti-freeze solution
If the cleaner is to be out of operation for any length of time,
it is advisable to flush it through with a glysantine solution
as this provides a certain degree of protection against
corrosion. A solution of 50 % Anti-freeze, 50 % water is
pumped through the cleaner.
7. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Engines to be stored over 30 days should be completely
drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming on
essential carburetor parts, fuel filter and tank.
1.For engine protection, we recommend the use of Briggs
& Stratton Gasoline Additive, Part No. 5041, available
from any Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Center.
Mix Additive with fuel tank or storage container. Run
engine for a short time to circulate Additive through
carburetor. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 24
months.
Caution: If Additive is not used or if engine is
operating on gasoline containing alcohol, remove all
fuel from tank and run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel.
2.While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with fresh oil. See oil recommendations.
3.Remove spark plug and pour approximately 1/2 ounce
(15 ml) of engine oil into the cylinder. Replace spark
plug and crank slowly to distribute oil.
4.Clean dirt and carbon from cylinder, cylinder head fins,
blower housing, rotating screen and muffler areas.
5.Store in a clean and dry area.
8. GENERAL INFORMATION
In some areas, local law requires the use of a resistor
spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If an engine was
originally equipped with a resistor spark plug, be sure to
use the same type of spark plug for replacement.
