Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the garden hose (ensure it's a suitable diameter and can handle the pressure) to the water inlet using the provided adapter. Connect the high-pressure hose to the pressure washer and the high-pressure gun. Ensure the integrated water filter is clean before first use. Plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet.
Compatibility: The K 5 WCM Flex uses standard Karcher bayonet connections for accessories. It requires a standard garden hose connection for water supply and a 230/240V, 50Hz electrical outlet. Ensure your garden hose is rated for the pressure output.
Care: After each use, disconnect from power and water. Release any residual pressure by squeezing the trigger on the gun. Store the unit and accessories in a dry, protected area. Periodically check and clean the integrated water filter to prevent blockages. For long-term storage, especially in freezing temperatures, ensure the system is drained to prevent damage. Follow the Karcher Home & Garden app for specific cleaning recommendations for different surfaces.
