Operating Instructions
The Full Control Plus Handle provides intuitive control over your pressure washing tasks.
- Powering On: Turn on your Kärcher pressure washer. The LED display on the handle should illuminate, indicating the current pressure setting.
- Adjusting Pressure: Use the +/- buttons located on the handle to cycle through the available pressure settings (e.g., SOFT, MEDIUM, HARD). The selected pressure level will be displayed on the LED screen. Choose the appropriate pressure for the surface you are cleaning.
- Detergent Application: To apply detergent, ensure your pressure washer is equipped with a detergent tank or suction hose. Select the "MIX" or detergent setting using the +/- buttons. The handle will then operate at low pressure, allowing for effective detergent application. Refer to your pressure washer's manual for specific detergent usage instructions.
- Child Safety Lock: Before storing or when not in use, engage the child safety lock (if present and accessible on the handle) to prevent accidental activation.
- Trigger Operation: Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying. Release the trigger to stop the water flow.
