FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Karcher K 2?

The Karcher K 2 comes with a 2-year guarantee. You can extend this to 5 years by registering your product within 28 days of purchase on the Karcher website.

Can I use this pressure washer for cleaning a large patio?

The K 2 is best suited for small patios. For larger areas, you might find the 4-meter hose limiting and the pressure might require more time to clean effectively compared to higher-powered models.

How do I switch between different spray patterns?

You can switch spray patterns by rotating the Vario Power lance to adjust the jet intensity or by using the Dirt Blaster lance for a concentrated, rotating jet.

What type of water source should I use?

You should connect the K 2 to a standard garden hose connected to a mains water supply. Ensure the water supply is turned on before operating the machine.

Is it safe to use on painted surfaces?

Yes, but always use the Vario Power lance on a lower pressure setting and keep a sufficient distance from the surface to avoid damage. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

How do I store the accessories?

The K 2 features on-board storage for the lances and power cable, keeping them organized and readily accessible when you need them.

Can I use any brand of detergent?

It is recommended to use Karcher-approved detergents for optimal performance and to maintain the integrity of your machine. Detergents are applied via the built-in suction tube.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not start.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the water supply is turned on and the hose is connected properly. Verify the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Low pressure output.

Check that the water supply is fully open and providing adequate flow. Ensure the Vario lance is not set to the lowest pressure setting. Clean the water filter and the nozzle on the lance for any blockages.

Detergent is not being drawn.

Confirm the detergent suction tube is submerged in the detergent and is not kinked. Ensure the Vario lance is set to the low-pressure detergent setting. Check that the detergent intake is clear of obstructions.

Water leaks from connections.

Ensure all hose connections are tightened securely. Check that seals and O-rings are in good condition and properly seated. Replace any worn or damaged seals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Always ensure the water supply is on before operating the unit.

Compatibility: The K 2 uses standard garden hose connections. Ensure your garden hose is compatible. It is designed for use with mains electricity.
