CLEANING TIPS

Recommendations
• 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.
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using Kärcher Deck Wash, 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
Deck Wash 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.
4. Store the machine and accessories in
a room which does not reach freezing
temperatures. DO NOT store near furnance
or other sources of heat as it may dry out
the pump seals.
Caution: Failure to follow the above
directions will result in damage to the pump
assembly and accessories.
House Siding
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Kärcher Pressure Wash, place detergent
suction tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure (for best
results, limit your work area to sections of
approximately 6 feet and always apply
detergent from bottom to top). Allow Pressure
Wash 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 (not included) 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.
Cement Patios, Brick & Stone
(with or without detergent)
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Kärcher Pressure Wash or Degreaser,
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 Pressure Wash or Degreaser to
remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow
detergent to dry on surface. Rinse at high
pressure in a sweeping motion keeping the
