Initial Use
All 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: https://www.kaercher.

Deck Cleaning
(With or without detergent). Pre-rinse deck and
surrounding area with fresh water. If using Kärcher
Multi-Purpose Cleaner (part number 9.558-144.0 ,
sold separately), apply to surface at low pressure.
For best results, limit your work area to smaller sec-
tions of approximately 25ft² (2.3m²). Allow Kärcher
Multi-Purpose Cleaner to remain on surface 1-3
minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on surface.
Using the white 40 degree nozzle, rinse at high
pressure in a long sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 35 inches (90 cm) and
slowly approach the surface until desired results
are achieved. Make sure you are not causing any
surface damage before cleaning the rest of the
deck. Always clean from top to bottom and 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. For more information, go to
