Water Supply (Cold Water Only) · Water hose must be at least 3/4 inch in diameter. · Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute). · Flow rate can be determined by running the water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon container. · The water supply temperature must not exceed 104°F/40°C. · Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with solvents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc. · Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source. We strongly recommend that this high pressure washer not be left running for periods of 5 minutes or longer without the trigger gun being engaged. This Kärcher high pressure washer is equipped with thermal protection to extend the life of your pressure washer. The thermal protector will automatically activate at a predetermined high temperature ejecting hot water before resetting. This ensures that the pump does not become damaged. 2 12 ¤ Detergent dosage control Gun/hose storage handle (not pictured) 19. Dirtblaster® nozzle 20. Safety goggles 21.

Step 2 Attach the gun/hose storage handle. Step 3 Attach the reel to the handle. Align holes, insert bolts, and tighten with nuts. Step 1 Check 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 for seasonal grades.) 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.
