Connecting Water Supply

Connect a garden hose (not supplied) to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the water supply is clean and free of debris. The unit can draw water from a static source using a Kärcher suction hose and filter (sold separately).

Note: Always ensure a steady water supply before turning on the unit to prevent damage to the pump.

Connecting High-Pressure Hose and Gun

Attach the high-pressure hose to the outlet on the pressure washer and then to the Full Control trigger gun. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

4. Troubleshooting

No Pressure / Low Pressure

• Check water supply: Ensure the tap is fully open and there are no kinks in the garden hose.
• Air in the system: Turn off the water supply, turn on the unit, and depress the trigger gun to release trapped air.
• Nozzle blockage: Clean the nozzle of the spray lance.
• Incorrect lance setting: Ensure the lance is set to a high-pressure mode (e.g., Vario or Dirt Blaster).

Unit Not Starting

• Check power connection: Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and the power switch is on.
