    Video Transcript: How to Replace a Karcher Hose and Handgun


    IMPORTANT: BEFORE REPLACING A PART IN ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS FIRST UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS.

    Firstly you need to make sure you get the right replacement gun and hose, as there a few different types to fit different models. You'll find the model number of your Karcher on this silver plate, along with the product number and other information, and the series number is on the front, so this one's a K2 Series.

    I'm going to demonstrate the four most common types of fittings. The first two use a clip to secure the hose. On the first the clip comes out at the side, you fit the hose into here and push the clip back in. The second one is pretty much the same, but with the clip at the front instead.

    This one has the hose secured in with these screws here, so to remove it you'll need to unscrew them.

    This last one is the easiest, as the hose simply plugs in like this, and then to release it you just push this button here. But bear in mind that this is a different hose to the others to fit a different Karcher model.

    All of these parts are available to order from the BuySpares website.
