IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
English 5
BEFORE SERVICING, CLEANING
OR REMOVING ANY PARTS,
SHUT OFF POWER AND RELIEVE
PRESSURE.
IF CONNECTION IS MADE TO A
POTABLE WATER SYSTEM, THE
SYSTEM SHALL BE PROTECTED
AGAINST BACKFLOW.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resi-
stance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plug-
ged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrocution. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician. Do not
use any type of adapter with this pro-
duct.
This product is provided with a ground-
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into
the plug of the power-supply cord. This
device provides additional protection
from the risk of electric shock.
Should replacement of the plug or cord
become necessary, use only identical
replacement parts that include GFCI
protection.
Contact Kärcher Customer Support.
CAUTION
When connecting the water inlet to the
water supply mains, local regulations of
your water company must be observed.
In some areas the unit must not be con-
nected directly to the public drinking
water supply. This is to ensure that
there is no feedback of chemicals into
the water supply. Direct connection via
a receiver tank or backflow preventer,
for example, is permitted.
Dirt in the feed water will damage the
unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend
fitting a water filter.
Garden hose must be at least 5/8
inch in diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not
fall below 2 GPM (gallons per
minute).
Flow rate can be determined by run-
ning 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 sol-
vents, e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oil, etc.
Always prevent debris from being
drawn into the unit by using a clean
water source.

(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse
deck and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using Kärcher Deck Wash, ap-
ply 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 de-
tergent 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.
(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse
cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Kärcher Pressure Wash, apply to
surface at low pressure (for best resul-
ts, limit your work area to sections of
approximately 6 feet and always apply
detergent from bottom to top). Allow
Pressure Wash to remain on surface 1-
3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry
on surface, if surface appears to be
drying, simply wet down surface with
fresh water. If needed, use special
wash brush attachment (not included)
to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at high
pressure from top to bottom in an even
sweeping motion keeping the spray
nozzle approximately 6 inches from the
cleaning surface.
(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse
cleaning surface with fresh water. If us-
ing Kärcher Pressure Wash or Degreas-
er, apply to surface at low pressure. For
best results, limit your work area to
smaller sections of approximately 25
square feet. Allow Pressure Wash or
Degreaser to remain on surface 1-3 min-
utes. Do not allow detergent to dry on
surface. Rinse at high pressure in a
sweeping motion keeping the spray noz-
zle approximately 3-6 inches from the
cleaning surface. Always clean from top
to bottom and from left to right. For re-
moving extremely stubborn stains, use

Touchless Vehicle Wash, apply to sur-
face at low pressure. For best results,
clean one side of vehicle at a time and
always apply detergent from bottom to
top, do not allow detergent to dry on sur-
face. If needed, use special wash brush
attachment (not included) to remove
stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pressure in a
sweeping motion keeping the spray
nozzle approximately 6-8 inches from

(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse
cleaning surface with fresh water. If
using Kärcher Pressure Wash or De-
greaser, apply detergent at low pressu-
re. Allow Pressure Wash to remain on
surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow deter-
gent to dry on surface. Rinse at high
pressure keeping the spray nozzle ap-
proximately 3-6 inches from the cleaning
surface. For removing extremely stub-
born dirt, it may be necessary to move
the spray nozzle even closer to the sur-
face for greater dirt cutting action.
(with or without detergent). Pre-rinse
furniture and surrounding area with
fresh water. If using Pressure Wash,
apply to surface at low pressure. Allow
Pressure Wash to remain on surface 1-
3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry

move stubborn dirt. Rinse at high pres-
sure in a sweeping motion keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 3-6 inches
from the cleaning surface. For best re-
sults, clean from top to bottom and from
left to right.
Before cleaning any surface an in-
conspicuous area should be cleaned
to test spray pattern and distance for
maximum cleaning results.
If painted surfaces are peeling or
chipping, use extreme caution as
pressure washer may remove the
loose paint from the surface.
When using on surfaces which might
come in contact with food, flush sur-
faces with plenty of drinking water.

la puesta a tierra proporcionaría una
circuito menos resistente a la energía
eléctrica para reducir el riesgo de elec-
trochoque. Este producto está equipa-
do con un cable que tiene un conductor
a tierra y un enchufe a tierra para el
equipo. El enchufe se tiene que
enchufar a un tomacorriente adecuado,
que esté correctamente instalado y
puesto a tierra conforme a todas las
normas y reglamentos locales.
PELIGRO
Si la conexión del conductor a tierra del
equipo es incorrecta puede existir ries-
go de electrochoque. En caso de duda,
compruebe con ayuda de un electrici-
sta cualificado o del personal del ser-

Este producto se suministra con un in-
terruptor de circuito de avería por pues-
ta a tierra montado en el enchufe del
cable de potencia. Este aparato propor-
ciona una protección adicional contra el
riesgo de electrochoque. Si la corriente
se interrumpe en la línea, el interruptor
de circuito de avería por puesta a tierra
volverá a cerrar, automáticamente, el
circuito a la carga una vez restablecida
la corriente. En función del modelo de
interruptor, puede que sea necesario
tener que poner en funcionamiento el
aparato manualmente mediante el bo-
tón de reinicio para restaurar la corrien-
te del circuito de carga del interruptor
de circuito de avería por puesta a tierra.
Si es necesario reemplazar el enchufe
o el cable, utilice piezas idénticas.
ATENCIÓN
Al conectar la toma de agua a la red de
suministro del agua, es obligatorio res-
petar la normativa local establecida por
la compañía del agua. En algunas zo-
nas, está prohibido conectar la unidad
directamente a la red pública de sumi-
nistro de agua potable. Esto es así para
garantizar que no penetren sustancias
químicas en la red de suministro del
agua. Sí se permite efectuar la
conexión directamente por ejemplo a
través de un depósito receptor o un dis-
positivo antirretorno.
Si el agua de alimentación está sucia,
la unidad sufrirá daños. Para evitar este
riesgo, le recomendamos que monte un
filtro de agua.
La manguera de agua tiene que te-
ner al menos 5/8 pulgadas de diá-
metro.
El caudal de agua no debe ser infe-
rior a 2 GPM (galones por minuto).
El caudal de agua se puede deter-
minar llenando de agua un recipien-
te vacío de 5 galones durante un
minuto.
La temperatura de la toma de agua
no de be sobrepasar los 104°F/
40°C.
No utilice nunca el limpiador a pre-
sión para aspirar agua contaminada
con disolventes como, p. ej., di-
luyentes de pintura, gasolina, acei-
te, etc.
Evite siempre que la unidad aspire
residuos utilizando una fuente de
abastecimiento cuya agua esté lim-
pia.
