rect from the factory. There is no need to add oil.

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

Deck Cleaning
(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse deck and
surrounding area with fresh water. If using Kärch-
er Deck Wash, 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.
CAUTION
Do not use Dirtblaster spray nozzle on wood
surface as it may cause damage.
