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. Fill the detergent container with Kärcher
Deck Wash. Place the filter end of detergent
suction tube into the container 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

the detergent container with Kärcher Pressure

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,
