FAQs

What is the difference between the Vario Power lance and the Dirt Blaster lance?

The Vario Power lance offers adjustable pressure settings for versatile cleaning, from gentle rinsing to tougher jobs. The Dirt Blaster lance provides a powerful, rotating jet specifically for removing stubborn, ingrained dirt on hard surfaces.

How do I adjust the pressure on this Karcher pressure washer?

The pressure is adjusted using the Vario Power lance. Simply twist the end of the lance to select the desired pressure setting, often indicated by symbols or names like 'mix', 'clean', or 'concrete'.

Can I use this pressure washer to clean my car?

Yes, the Karcher K 2 Power Control Home is suitable for car washing. Use the Vario Power lance on a lower pressure setting (e.g., 'clean' or 'mix') to avoid damaging the paintwork.

What is the function of the T 150 patio cleaner?

The T 150 patio cleaner is designed to clean flat surfaces like patios and decking efficiently and evenly, reducing splash-back and ensuring consistent results.

How long is the included high-pressure hose?

The pressure washer comes with a 5-meter high-pressure hose.

Where should I store the accessories when not in use?

The Karcher K 2 Power Control Home features an integrated storage facility on the unit itself, allowing you to keep your lances and other accessories organized and readily accessible.

Do I need to clean the water filter?

Yes, the integrated water filter should be checked and cleaned periodically to prevent blockages and ensure optimal performance and longevity of the pump.

Troubleshooting

Pressure washer not starting

Check that the power cord is securely plugged in and the electrical outlet is functioning. Ensure the water supply is connected and the tap is fully open.

Low pressure or inconsistent spray

Verify that the correct lance is attached and the pressure setting on the Vario Power lance is appropriate. Check the water inlet filter for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the water supply is adequate.

Water leaks

Inspect all hose connections (water supply hose, high-pressure hose) for secure fitting and damage. Check the seals on the trigger gun and lance connections.

Dirt Blaster lance not performing effectively

Ensure the Dirt Blaster lance is correctly attached and that the machine is operating at full pressure. The Dirt Blaster is designed for very tough grime; ensure the surface can withstand it.
