Quick Guide: How to Change the Oil in Your Kranzle Pressure Washer

Changing the oil in your Kranzle pressure washer is an essential part of regular maintenance to ensure it runs smoothly and lasts longer. Follow these simple steps to change the oil:

What You'll Need:

Step 1: Turn Off and Cool Down the Pressure Washer

Before you begin, make sure your Kranzle pressure washer is turned off, unplugged (if electric), or the fuel is shut off (if gas-powered). Let the machine cool down if it’s been in use.

Step 2: Locate the Oil Fill and Drain Plugs

  • Oil Fill Plug: Usually located at the top or side of the engine. This is where you'll add new oil.
  • Oil Drain Plug: Typically found at the bottom of the engine, allowing the old oil to drain out.

Step 3: Drain the Old Oil

  1. Position an oil drain pan under the drain plug.
  2. Use a wrench or spanner to remove the drain plug.
  3. Let the old oil completely drain out. This can take a few minutes.
  4. After all the oil has drained, replace the drain plug securely.

Step 4: Add New Oil

  1. Remove the oil fill plug.
  2. Using a funnel (if necessary), pour in the recommended amount of fresh Kranzle-approved oil.
    • Be sure not to overfill; check your user manual for the correct oil capacity.
  3. Replace the oil fill plug tightly.

Step 5: Check Oil Level

  • Start your pressure washer briefly (without triggering the spray gun) to allow the oil to circulate.
  • Turn off the machine and check the oil level using the dipstick or sight glass (depending on your model).
  • Add more oil if necessary until it reaches the optimal level.

Step 6: Dispose of the Old Oil Properly

Make sure to dispose of the used oil responsibly at a local recycling center or an authorised disposal location.

Final Tips:

  • Oil Change Frequency: It's a good idea to change the oil every 50-100 operating hours or at least once a year, depending on use.
  • Oil Type: Always use the recommended Kranzle oil for optimal performance and longevity.
  • Regular Maintenance: Along with oil changes, regularly check the air filter, spark plug (for gas models), and other components for wear.

By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your Kranzle pressure washer running at its best!
