Like Moto Man said it has to prime but it will not disconnect the water hose there is a filter in there that will plug and no water can get into the pump

I have a Karcher electric pressure washer and water is coming out from the trigger area, what’s causing this?

Here is the one that I have:

How to repair a Karcher HDS 500 steam pressure washer or manuals?

I bought a HDS 500 pressure washer that I believe burns diesel. I plug it in and the motor that pumps the water seems to blast at the first pull of the handle then slows alittle and I dont know how the igniter works to light the diesel, its 110 volt, I cant find anyone who works on these in my area. Springfield Missouri, anyone HELP!

Karcher is a excellent name brand. Go online to their website and on the contact us tell them what you need. Many that I have seen run on propane, but if you reckon it suns on diesel, then you would be better off getting Kerosene. It burns a lot cleaner. My neighbor cleans professionally and he has a huge propane tank in the back of his truck that he uses to heat the water. I worked for a propane company and the ones we had run on propane too. If you have a tank on it though and are having problems with it igniting then I would change to kerosene. I write to many companies and I don’t have distress getting help from them or manuals.

who makes craftsman gas pressure washers?


It is hard to say, Sears buys from so many different companies who place their name on the product.
