Initial Use
All Kärcher 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: www.karcher-service.com).
