Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Kärcher K4 Power Control is designed to be straightforward, with support available for optimal usage.
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging, ensuring you have the main unit, high-pressure gun, hose, spray lances, and included kits.
- Connect Water Supply: Attach your garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure a steady water supply.
- Connect High-Pressure Hose: Securely connect the high-pressure hose to both the pressure washer outlet and the `G 160 Q Power Control` trigger gun.
- Connect Accessories: Depending on your task, attach the desired spray lance (e.g., `dirt blaster` or the standard spray lance) or specific accessories like the `T 5` surface cleaner or `WB 130` rotating wash brush.
- Power On: Plug the unit into a suitable power outlet. Follow the instructions in the Kärcher Home & Garden App for a guided first-time setup and tailored cleaning advice.
Compatibility
The Kärcher K4 Power Control is designed to work seamlessly with Kärcher's `Power Control` system accessories. The included `T 5` surface cleaner, `WB 130` rotating wash brush, and specific detergents (stone and façade, vehicle cleaner) are all part of this integrated system, ensuring optimal performance and fit. Using non-Kärcher branded accessories may affect performance or potentially damage the unit.
