Hi guys, my friend has just bought one of these for a large sum of money brand new but for some reason it seems very underpowered.

We have tried everything but it seems as powerful as my old K4.99M

How do you vary the power on these industrial pressure washers?

Anyone from Polished Bliss able to help as im sure they bought a similar one

hudders cheers for that matey,

funny that as soon as i posted the thread my mate rang me. Basically contacted Karchers cust service and they said it needed bleeding. Just done that and wow the pressure is awesome.

Thanks for the reply btw

You can vary the pressure via the standard lance on our model (HDS601ECO), but not via the unit itself. Also, when it comes to pressure on the commercial units, make sure you use a 3/4" connection rather than a 1/2" connection, as the latter can result in starvation in some situations. :)
