[@Rewind787]

Fantastic video, just what I needed, thank you. I do have a (very amateur) question with regards to the setup. I have recently had an outside tap fitted, however I haven't needed to use it yet, so I haven't bought any hoses/connectors/adapters. My question is, what do I actually need to buy in order to attach to the outside tap to the Karcher machine itself. I know that a hose will be needed, but with regards to the connectors I am a little clueless being as I have never needed one before. Any help (and possibly a website link to which product(s)) would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much.

[@bigtedshome]

Thanks for the great feedback. To connect your pressure washer to your outside tap, you will need a tap connector to screw onto your outside tap, 2 hose connectors, a hose and I would recommend a hose reel. Assuming a 25m hose will be long enough for you, this kit contains everything you should need: amzn.to/4a1HUoB

I don't have any decking so can't speak from experience but I suspect that the dirtblaster lance might be too aggressive for wood. Karcher recommend using a surface cleaner if you have one www.kaercher.com/uk/home-garden/how-to-guides/pressure-washers/patio-deck-cleaning.html

If anyone has any suggestions on how to assist with this issue it would be helpful

@peterbutler256 The hose is easier to coil if you disconnect it from the handle first. Ultimately though, I would recommend that you replace the hose. It's easy to do and makes life s lot easier. This is how I upgraded mine: th-cam.com/video/_mPLwbM-vvQ/w-d-xo.html

[@nikolaykarcher]

Несколько советов, чтобы Ваша мойка Karcher прослужила как можно дольше. 📌
Постараюсь перечислить по пунктам (не в порядке важности, они все важны).
1) Прочитайте инструкцию по эксплуатации и соблюдайте её (это для сильных духом):))
2) Ставьте дополнительный фильтр, регулярно очищайте внутренний и если есть, внешний фильтр. Следите за чистотой воды, избегайте грязи и абразива.
3) Соблюдайте режим работы. Давайте остыть аппарату минут 15-20, если непрерывно моете более 1,5 - 2 часов. Это если у Вас К5-К7, если К2-К3 то каждые полчаса.
4) При мойке старайтесь реже отпускать-нажимать клавишу пистолета, сократив при этом количество срабатываний клапанов и микровыключателя на остановку.
5) Не мойте горячей водой. Для минимоек серий K2-K5 максимальная температура воды 40C. Для K6-K7 60C.
6) Храните мойку в тёплом месте. Если храните в холодном, сливайте всю воду, при возможности закачивайте антифриз.
7) Не оставляйте аппарат под давлением на длительное время. Если делаете перерыв в мойке на 5 минут - стравливайте давление, нажмите клавишу пистолета. Обязательно после мойки не забывайте стравить давление!
8) Не используйте интегрированные в корпус моек бачки для химии. Не поскупитесь на пенную насадку, и используйте её для нанесения шампуней. Если всё же наносите химию через Керхер, то обязательно после каждой мойки промывайте систему чистой водой. Химия (особенно агрессивный бесконтакт) не очень хорошо воздействует на внутренние элементы и детали насоса.
9) Следите, чтобы мойке хватало воды. Модель серии K5 потребляет около 8 литров воды в минуту. В Вашей системе водоснабжения при работе всегда должно быть достаточно воды. Для подключения используйте шланг на 3/4 и длиной не менее 10 метров.
10) Следите за напряжением в сети, оно не должно быть менее 220В. Если бывают перепады - используйте стабилизатор соответствующей мощности.
11) Очень аккуратно эксплуатируйте Ваши аксессуары к Вашей мойке Karcher, они стоят очень приличных денег. Не бросайте, не наступайте, не наезжайте машиной на струйные трубки, пистолеты, шланги.
12) С любовью и нежностью относитесь к купленной Вами дорогой технике, как советский дедушка к своему ВАЗ 2101 :)) и она ответит Вам взаимностью.

[@bigtedshome]

Thank you Nikolay for this excellent advice. Comment 12 made me smile 🙂

[@beverleynorth4914]

Very helpful video
Do you need to pull the hose through the slot before attaching the lance?

[@bigtedshome]

You don't have to pull the hose through the slot. Personally, I found it easier not to. It's fairly straightforward to disconnect the lance from the hose if you want to try both options.

[@beverleynorth4914]

Had 1st go today with new K4. Patio T5 cleaner is a game changer. Very impressed with it. Have to watch out that it doesn’t pick up bits of gravel, etc.
Did you have 2 spare screws?? They go in the long dowels that fix the base in place.
What are best mods, improvements for it. Hose?? Then what?

[@bigtedshome]

@beverleynorth4914 Thanks for the info re. the screws, I did get there eventually (with help from others on here) 🙂
The hose is the first thing I would upgrade. Then if you intend to wash cars, I would recommend a short trigger gun and a foam cannon. There are videos featuring all of these upgrades on my channel.
This video is important th-cam.com/video/F125OkLZwJo/w-d-xo.html as is not storing your K4 anywhere where the water inside it could freeze as the expansion could crack the pump.

How did you get the hose to pull through the hole when unwinding? Mine kinked severely about 5 times on first use. I've given up and the hose no longer passes through the hole in main Assembly, I just coil it up and hang it on the back.

[@bigtedshome]

I gave up on it as well after a while and did the same thing. After battling with it for 6 months, I changed the plastic hose for a 10m reinforced rubber hose and found that upgrading made a big difference. This video shows how I did it: th-cam.com/video/_mPLwbM-vvQ/w-d-xo.html

Hi Big Ted, thanks for the video. I am thinking to buy this unit but am unsure about a point, please see if you could help. The intention is to clean house/building walls using K4, how good it is to clean walls, and how high the water could go? Would it cover a two-story building with sufficient pressure to clean the high-reaching areas such as the eaves? Many thanks

[@bigtedshome]

The K4 is excellent for cleaning walls but you would not be able to clean a two story building with the supplied lances. The lance needs to be close to the wall to have enough pressure to clean it and using the lance from a ladder would be too dangerous. Karcher do make a telescopic lance which would appear to be ideal for your application. You can find he details here: amzn.to/3qycYb8

[@sslalaninz]

@@bigtedshome Awesome, thanks for the quick response. Let me check this telescopic lance

[@jocelynmeehan5995]

Thank you. Really impressive. Just a query on attaching the water hose. Is it just a click into the machine?

[@bigtedshome]

If the hose is not already attached to the machine, you push it into the back of the machine and there is a U shaped metal clip that holds it in place. This video shows how to remove and fit a hose to the K4: th-cam.com/video/_mPLwbM-vvQ/w-d-xo.html

In my country, we need buy T5 patio cleaner separately 😢 same machine and others are exactly same.

Thank you for commenting. Karcher do seem to have different marketing strategies in different countries. I would definitely recommend buying a surface cleaner and the T5 is very good but you could look at alternatives as well.
