SHUTTING DOWN & CLEAN-UP
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 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: www.karcher-service.com).
Pump Maintenance
The pump on your Kärcher pressure washer does
not require maintenance. Any attempts to service
or alter the pump may damage your pressure
washer and void your product warranty.
Carry out maintenance tasks for the engine accord-
ing to the specifi cations provided in the operating
instructions provided by engine manufacturer.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1:
Disconnect all water connections.
2:
Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until
the water which had remained in the pump
exits, turn off immediately.
3: Do not allow high pressure hose to become
kinked.
4: Store the machine and accessories in a
room which does not reach freezing tempera-
tures. DO NOT store near furnace or other
sources of heat as it may dry the pump seals.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the above directions will
result in damage to the pump assembly and
accessories and will void the warranty.
It is highly recommended to use Kärcher's
Pump Guard (part number 9.558-998.0) be-
fore winter storage and during the cleaning
season to protect the pump from freezing and
premature wear.
