Operating Instructions
Before operating, ensure all connections are secure and refer to your pressure washer's main instruction manual for specific safety guidelines and operational procedures.
- Water Supply:
Connect your garden hose to the pressure washer's water inlet and turn on the water supply fully.
- Purge Air:
Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun (without the pressure washer turned on) to allow water to flow through and purge any air from the system. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges.
- Power On:
Turn on your electric pressure washer according to its manufacturer's instructions.
- Begin Cleaning:
Point the spray wand at the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance. Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying. Adjust distance and spray pattern as needed for the cleaning task.

- Child Safety Lock:
When not actively spraying, engage the child safety lock on the spray gun to prevent accidental activation. This is typically a small lever or button near the trigger.
- Shut Down:
When finished, turn off the pressure washer, then turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system before disconnecting components.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Kärcher hose and spray gun kit.
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the hose and spray gun with clean water to remove any detergent residue or debris.
- Storage: Store the hose and spray gun in a dry, frost-free environment. Coil the hose neatly to prevent kinks and damage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for cuts, abrasions, or bulges. Check the spray gun for any cracks or leaks. Replace damaged components immediately.
