  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer has fluctuating pressure, it could be due to worn or dirty pump valves, in which case you should contact a local distributor. Another cause could be an obstructed nozzle, so blow out any debris with a fine needle. Also, the pump might be sucking air due to a leaking inlet hose; check that all hoses and fittings are airtight, then turn off the machine and trigger the spray gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. Insufficient water supply can also cause fluctuating pressure, so ensure the water is turned on full force and check the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages.

Why is the Kärcher HD 4.0/40 G operating pressure so low?

  The operating pressure might be low due to several reasons. It could be due to insufficient water supply, a closed faucet, or a kinked inlet hose. Try using a larger garden hose and cleaning the inlet water screen, and ensure the faucet is fully open. A clogged inlet hose strainer can also cause this issue; check your plumbing for leaks and seal them with Teflon tape. In some cases, the unloader valve may be faulty or mis-adjusted, requiring adjustment or a repair kit. If the pump packing is worn, contact Dealer Customer Support. If the machine has been stored in freezing temperatures, thaw it out completely, including the hose, spray gun, and wand. Lastly, slow engine RPM can also cause low pressure, for which you should contact a local distributor.

  If you notice low pressure in your Kärcher Pressure Washer after a period of normal use, the nozzle may be worn and need replacement. Another potential cause is a worn unloader valve, which would also require replacement.

  Fluctuating pressure in your Kärcher Pressure Washer can arise from several factors. Check if the nozzle is obstructed and clear any debris with a fine needle. Ensure that the pump isn't sucking air due to a leaking inlet hose by verifying that all hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn off the machine and trigger the spray gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. Also, confirm that you have an adequate water supply, checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages.
