It says in the instructions "detergent can only be added when the device is operated in low pressure mode" i.e. just the trigger without any of the high pressure lances attached. But then again who reads instruction manuals ??
Had one for years in the uk and a similar model in France. Have sworn at it so many times tried pouring the detergent in and now I know why nothing wrong with the washer just the idiot using it IE me
Julien Helme we are in a post-instructions era. How difficult was to put a self explanatory icon wherever. Years ago software came with a big instruction book. Tools need to be intuitive.
In my defence I was given my Mum's one she no longer used sans-instructions. That said, had I purchased it new I expect I would have still been looking for this video :-)
The problem is that you're using the wrong attachment. You need to use the nozzle with the full control settings and set it to mix. Then when you've covered you path, patio or what ever with detergent, leaving it for 15 minutes then wash it off with a high power nozzle.
Which nozzle is this? I’ve just bought a k2 jet wash. And it just comes with a box standard dirt blaster and I can’t seem to see a clear hose that would be used for solution
I wouldn't worry too much about how to use detergent in your K2, if it's anything like mine it will soon be knackered!! Then try & get it repaired :))) If you aint got one & you're reading this then. DO NOT GET ONE, THEY ARE CRAP!!!
I guess he is trying to show that the transparent suction hose will suck up the detergent only if you use the machine without the high pressure lance. (in low pressure mode).
Correcto. Esta máquina no succionará el depósito de jabón si tienes instalada la lanceta de presión en la pistola. Para que succione el jabón debes usar la pistola sin la lanceta.
I cant get the short clear hose to suck detergent?? Ive used the lance switched to Mix. Dont know what is meant by turn the hose connector around. Im just using common garden hose and garden hose fittings? My clear hose seems very short?
You're supposed to use the other lance and when it is turned too low it will draw from the container. It will stop drawing from the container when you use the higher pressure settings .
My K7 doesn't have that suction thing but I just bought a separate part 3M Suction Hose with Quick Coupling & Filter for Pressure Washer Karcher K2-K7 Series & Bosch AQT Series as my kaercher upside down bottle detergent thing is not the product I want to use. Whether however the mix function will work remains to be seen..... I will test it.
Is is possible that my K2 doesn't have a suction connection?? K2 basic, exactly the same as the video. But "in there", where you connect the tube, I dont see anything to plug in. Thanks.
Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use ru-vid.comUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
No mate, can not adjust the pressure by way of the pump, altho you can just adjust your distance from the object it is aimed at, or if you buy the full control version you can adjust the pressure from the handle
I still seem to lose pressure and on the detergent somehow. I noticed from the video there’s something on the end of the tube that I don’t have on mine. What is it? Thanks
Brother en el manual por lo menos de la k4 viene, dice que el quimico solo se agrega cuando se usa la lanza pulverizador en modo soft ya que si lo tienes en hard no lo aplica ni con la lanza turbo
Lol bought one of these K2, OMG i thought Karcher were cool. Until i want to add detergent !!!! What a load of RUBBISH, and like i am gonna go round the garden dragging the detergent bottle behind :(
Mas saya nyalain on kan mesin karchernya kok di dalam body ada percikan api setelah itu normal. Lalu tak hentikan nyemprotnya, trus tak coba nyemprot lagi kadang keluar percikan apinya lagi terus normal lagi. Saya nyoba mesinnya malam hari jadi klihatan percikan apinya. Apa mesin karchernya masnya kayak gitu ga?
