Use high-pressure pump special oil recommended by Kärcher (ref. 6.392-530.0).
How to bleed the air from the system before first use?
Unscrew the nozzle, squeeze the trigger without pressure until water flows without bubbles, then retighten the nozzle.
What to do if the cleaner does not start?
Check the power supply, fuse, and pressure switch. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
How to winterize my high-pressure cleaner?
Drain water from pump and hose, add antifreeze for high-pressure cleaners (ref. 6.295-605.0).
Can I use a standard garden hose for water supply?
Yes, but the hose diameter must be at least 1/2 inch and the flow rate sufficient (min. 10 l/min).
How to change the nozzle of the gun?
Unscrew the nozzle cap with a suitable wrench, replace the nozzle with a new one (ref. 2.574-032.0) and retighten.
Why is the pressure low?
