@eSparesVideo Thanks for your video, and info, my K2 works but low pressure and water leaks from the inside ? have you any ideas, how I can fix it ? many thanks for your valued time.

@eSpares 14 жыл бұрын

Indeed, you could just squeeze the trigger on the gun. You'll find that you get rid of any air inside the unit more quickly with the high pressure hose detached though. I guess it all depends upon the order that you decided to put your kit together when setting it all up. Appreciate the comment though!

I am normally careful with machines but have given my Karcher k2 a hard time. It pulses and the water comes out of the detergent hose.

@eSpares 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Vince, the motor will pulse if there is the slightest leak on the high pressure side. It is likely you will need to replace the cylinder head that may have been damaged be either frost or from the detergent drying out in the valve and causing it to leak.

Any tips for what to do if no water comes out when trying this? I got a K2 in summer, used it once, stored properly, now am getting nothing at all from it, tried this but just get a small trickle from the outlet. Any help would be much appreciated

@tricky7ricky 9 жыл бұрын

P.S. plenty of flow from the hosepipe before connecting it to the pw

@eSpares 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Richard, disconnect the quick connector to the machine and fit to your hose as I found a incompatible connector that would only allow a trickle of water. If this flows OK reconnect and disconnect the gun and retry.

Dad complained there was an air block, pressure problem. Looked up videos. Apparently nothing helped. In the end, we figured out he’d probably not have a problem if he made sure it was plugged in

Eh were you trying to screw the hose on the wrong way?? Right hand thread dude?

@neonbulb6994 7 жыл бұрын

When I bleed the Washer, only small amount of water is coming out. There's enough water coming from the external hose. What might be the problem. Also, in the manual, I read something like this: "Pull out the sieve in the water connection using flat-nose pliers and clean under running water." How can I pull out the sieve? Can redirect to any link containing the photographs ASAP?

@eSpares 7 жыл бұрын

The inlet filter is the white part inside the connection tube shown in the main image on this part: www.espares.co.uk/product/es538422 It can be pulled from the tube using pliers and rinsed out. Water should slowly run through the hose and gun without the motor running, Check if the connector on the end of the hose is an 'auto stop' type that when fitted to the thread connector it is allowing the water through.

SirLukkas This may be because the viewer is not happy with the video or sometimes a video can be promoted by You Tube as it has had a lot of views and is listed as 'trending'. Then some viewers may land on the video expecting entertainment to be given information and as a result 'dislike' the video.

Karcher- Krap Krap Krap Krap- after a few goes mine started to leak oil- can't be fixed for less than it cost. So I'll hire a pro kit next time or use my local car wash- DIY tools are a false economy. If you've got a Karcher for God's sake keep the receipt!!!!!
