Operating Instructions - Kärcher HD 2.3/24 P Operator's Manual

STEP 1: Check engine oil level. Oil level should be
level with the bottom of the oil filler neck. Be sure the
machine is level when checking the oil level. (Refer to
the engine's operating manual included with machine.)
We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5
hours of use, then once every 50 hours. Note: Improper
oil levels will cause low oil sensor to shut off engine.
IMPORTANT! Do not run engine with high or low oil
levels as this will cause engine damage.
STEP 3: Fill gas tank with unleaded gasoline. Do not
use leaded gasoline.
