FAQs

Can I use soap with the K6 Special?

Yes, it is designed for compatibility with appropriate cleaning detergents; please refer to the manual for specific application methods.

How often should I clean the water filter?

It is recommended to inspect the filter after every few uses, especially if you notice a drop in pressure.

Is this model safe to use on wooden decks?

It can be used on wood, but you should use a wide-angle nozzle and maintain a safe distance to prevent damaging the wood grain.

Where should I store the unit during winter?

Always store the pressure washer in a frost-free area to prevent residual water from freezing and cracking the internal components.

What is the maximum temperature of water I can use?

The K6 Special is designed for cold water use; using hot water may damage the pump seals.

Troubleshooting

The unit fails to build up pressure.

Check that the water supply is fully open and the inlet filter is free of debris.

Ensure the garden hose is not kinked and verify that the water flow rate meets the manufacturer's requirements.
