Water may not be coming through the Kärcher B602 plus due to the following reasons:
1. Nozzle is blocked or worn out – Clean or replace the nozzle. 2. Inadequate mains water pressure – Check the inlet water flow rate. 3. Inlet hose is squeezed – Straighten the hose. 4. Water filter is clogged – Clean the filter. 5. Inlet hose is blocked – Check for leaks or blockages. 6. Blocked filter in the detergent tank – Unblock the filter. 7. Ventilation hole in the detergent tank cover is blocked – Clean the hole.

Please follow these instructions carefully for troublefree cleaning. Use the diagram on Page 6 for reference purposes. 3.2 Water Connection • The minimum length of supply hosepipe advised for maximum user convenience is 7.5 metres with a diameter of 12.5 mm (1/2") to allow free flow of inlet water to the machine so avoiding backpressure and any associated potential damage to your machine.
• Re-connect the Spray Lance to the Spray Gun. Dirt in the drawn water could damage your Pressure Washer ! To avoid this risk please use a suitable filter - Part No. 6.414.389. 3.5 Detergent It is recommended that only cleaning agents formulated by and manufactured for Karcher should be used.
4. OPERATING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER If you have followed all the instructions so far, you are now ready to have fun cleaning the KARCHER way!!! • Turn on the supply water and press the Spray Gun lever (No.12) until the water flows freely and removes all air locks from the hoses. •...
4.1 High Pressure Operation • Switch on the pressure washer (No.4) • Ensure the Spray Lance with the Four–Way Nozzle (No.16) is attached securely to the Spray Gun (No.12) and the nozzle is set to the required jet. • Aim the lance towards the object to be cleaned making sure the recommended working distance is used (for reference see Page 9).
We recommend the following cleaning method: Step 1: Remove loose dirt by washing over the surface to be cleaned with the high pressure jet. Step 2: Spray on the detergent and leave for 1-4 minutes, so assisting the easy removal of fine dirt and associated greasy adhesions. Step 3: Finally, spray off the loosened dirt with the high pressure spray.
4.4 End Of Operation ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RINSE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER AFTER USING DETERGENT BY FILLING THE DETERGENT CONTAINER WITH CLEAN WATER AND RUN THE PUMP FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE In the event of a break of 5 minutes in the operation of your Karcher Pressure Washer, always switch off the pump to avoid damage due to overheating.

• Visually check to see if the nozzle is blocked by dirt or grit, if so, remove the dirt from the nozzle hole with a needle and rinse with water from the front. Failure to do this will seriously damage your machine and invalidate the warranty.
