Karcher K 5 Power Control F.A.Q.

How do I set up my Karcher K 5 Power Control for the first time?

To set up your Karcher K 5 Power Control, first assemble the high-pressure hose and spray gun. Connect the water supply with a garden hose, ensuring the filter in the water inlet is clean. Plug in the device and turn the power switch to the "on" position.

What should I do if my Karcher K 5 Power Control loses pressure during use?

Check for blockages in the nozzle or hose, ensure the water supply is adequate, and inspect the inlet filter for debris. Also, make sure there are no leaks in the hose connections.

How can I clean the detergent suction tube on my Karcher K 5 Power Control?

Remove the detergent suction tube and rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Use a soft brush to remove any residue if necessary. Reattach it securely after cleaning.

Why is my Karcher K 5 Power Control pulsing instead of delivering a steady stream?

Pulsing can occur due to air in the pump or a clogged nozzle. Make sure all connections are tight, and bleed any air by running the unit without the high-pressure nozzle until water flows smoothly.

How do I safely store my Karcher K 5 Power Control after use?

Turn off the unit and disconnect the power supply. Release any pressure in the system by pressing the trigger on the spray gun. Drain all water from the hoses, and store the unit in a dry, frost-free area.

What maintenance does the Karcher K 5 Power Control require?

Regularly inspect the hoses, connections, and seals for wear and tear. Clean the water inlet filter, and run the unit with clean water to flush out any detergent residues. Check the spray nozzles for blockages.

Can I use hot water with my Karcher K 5 Power Control?

No, the Karcher K 5 Power Control is designed for use with cold water only. Using hot water can damage the pump and other components.

How do I adjust the pressure settings on the Karcher K 5 Power Control?

The K 5 Power Control has a Vario Power spray lance. Adjust the pressure by twisting the lance to the desired setting, which is indicated on the lance itself.

What should I do if my Karcher K 5 Power Control does not start?

Ensure that the unit is plugged in and that the power outlet is functioning. Check the fuse and reset the GFCI plug if necessary. Also, confirm that the power switch is in the "on" position.

How do I change the nozzle on my Karcher K 5 Power Control?

Turn off the pressure washer and disconnect it from the power supply. Detach the current nozzle by pulling it off the lance, and attach the new nozzle by pushing it firmly onto the lance until it clicks into place.
