To set up the Karcher K 5 Premium Smart Control, first attach the high-pressure hose to the spray gun and unit. Connect the water supply using a garden hose and ensure it is tightly secured. Plug in the unit to a power source. Follow the instructions on the Smart Control app for Bluetooth pairing and initial configuration.
If the pressure washer is not building pressure, check for any blockages in the nozzles or hoses. Ensure the water supply is turned on and delivering adequate flow. Inspect the inlet filter for debris and clean if necessary. Verify all connections are secure and there are no leaks.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the nozzles, checking hoses and connections for wear and tear, and ensuring the inlet filter is clean. After each use, run the machine with clean water to flush out any detergents. Store in a dry place to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
Attach the detergent bottle to the suction hose and ensure the detergent setting is selected on the spray gun or app. The Smart Control system will automatically adjust the detergent mix ratio. Always use detergents specifically designed for pressure washers.
If the motor stops unexpectedly, check for power source issues such as a tripped breaker or blown fuse. Ensure the extension cord is of appropriate gauge and length. Allow the machine to cool down if it has overheated. Restart the device and resume operation.
The Karcher K 5 Premium Smart Control is designed for use with cold water only. Using hot water may damage the pump and other components. Always refer to the user manual for the recommended water temperature range.
For connectivity issues, ensure that both the pressure washer and smartphone have Bluetooth enabled. Move closer to the unit if the signal is weak. Restart the app and the pressure washer if necessary. Check for any app updates and install them to resolve potential issues.
To store the pressure washer during winter, drain all water from the unit and hoses to prevent freezing damage. Disconnect and clean the components, then store them in a dry, frost-free environment. Consider using a pump guard to protect the pump during storage.
To replace the high-pressure hose, turn off the unit and disconnect it from the power source. Release any pressure by pressing the trigger. Detach the old hose from the spray gun and pump, then attach the new hose securely. Ensure all connections are tight before resuming use.
Pulsating can occur due to blockages or air trapped in the system. Check the water supply for adequate flow and pressure. Ensure the nozzles and filters are clean. Bleed any trapped air by running the machine without the spray gun attached until a steady stream of water is achieved.
