Maintenance Instructions; Cleaning Tips - Kärcher G 2500 VH Operator's Manual

Kärcher pump
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 in-
spection of the pressure washer's
pump. If you notice oil leaking around
the pump seals, you should take the
pressure washer to a Kärcher-Autho-
rized Service Center for repair. (You
can locate a service center in your area
online at www.karcher-usa.com/ser-
vice.)
Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse
deck and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using Kärcher Deck Wash, ap-
ply 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 sur-
face 1-3 minutes. Do not allow deter-
gent 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.
CAUTION
Do not use Dirtblaster spray nozzle
on wood surface as it may cause
damage.
