


gine stop switch to the CLOSED or

dle several times until the remain-
ing water has exited the pump.



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 the USA
or Canada online
www.karcherresidential.com/service.)
Carry out maintenance tasks for the
engine according to the specifications
provided in the operating instructions
provided by engine manufacturer.
