Karcher HD 5/12 CX PLUS Professional Pressure Washer 175 Bar
Karcher Easy!Force Pressure Washers
Karcher Easy!Force Pressure Washers have the new Karcher trigger handle that requires almost no effort to hold down. These Pressure Washers also feature the new Easy!Lock quick connectors rather than the older screw type connectors.
Ensure you buy Easy!Lock accessories rather than the older screw type accessories to fit these pressure washers.
Karcher Suction Feature
All Karcher HD & HDS machines have the ability to use a static water source such as a barrel, water butt, pond or lake etc in place of a mains water supply. The performance of this feature can be impacted by distance to the water source and or height of this source in comparison to the machine itself. Try & keep the water source higher or at least level with the machine to maximise performance. You will need to purchase an additional Suction Hose Accessory.
To help determine the type of pressure washer required it is important to consider the size of your cleaning task and level of duty, i.e. how big is the cleaning object and how often will you need to clean it? Below is an explanation of the two main types of pressure washer. Whilst bar pressure is important the overiding factor in cleaning power is the water flow rate. More water = better cleaning.
Home & Garden (sometimes referred to as domestic, DIY or consumer).
Lightweight, easily portable and designed for regular use in a domestic environment, these machines range in power to suit the size of your cleaning task. Models featuring ‘water cooled motor’ technology offer greater performance, and top of the range machines are often fully loaded with accessories.
Xpert or Professional (sometimes referred to as commercial or industrial)
Heavy duty, robust and designed for maximum durability, Xpert or Professional machines have higher pressure and flow ratings, enabling you to clean with far greater speed and efficiency. These machines are not readily available on the high street or in DIY superstores and often feature upgraded components throughout
Jargon Buster:
• Bar or PSI: Bar is the most common measure of pressure. PSI = bar x 14.5.
• Bar (max): This is the pressure achieved when the machine is first turned on
• Bar (rated) pressure: This is the operating water pressure of the machine.
• Motor size (kW): Motor size indicates power providing the machine runs efficiently.
• Flow Rate (l/h): Higher flow rates enable you to clean large areas or objects faster
Did You Know:
Pressure Washers use up to 80% less water than garden hosepipes.
Pressure Washers are not subject to hosepipe bans if used for safety reasons, or if a suction hose is used to pull water from a harvested source. i.e. not the water mains. They are also not subject to a ban if used for commercial reasons, for example to maintain cleanliness, hygiene or company image.
Important things to remember when using your pressure washer:
• Always use an RCD when using electrical products in connection with water.
• Never use a non-return valve at the pressure washer connection to a hose pipe.
• Never drive over or lay items on high pressure hoses to avoid damage.
• Your water supply hose should be a min of several meters long and unwound from its reel.
• If you are using an extension lead, check that it is rated at min of 13 amps and fully unwound from its reel.

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : hello can the karcher HD 5/12 CX plus pressure washer suck water from a barrel or water butt or container as im a mobile car washer and do not have access to a water tap. thanks
A : All Karcher pressure washers will syphon from a static water source.
Q : Is the internal pipe work metal and is the machine safe to leave out in frosty weather?
A : It is never a good idea to store a pressure washer in sub zero temperatures, as any damaged caused by freezing water would not be covered under warranty. It is recommended to flush any detergent from the machine using warm water, then disconnect all hoses and accessories making sure these are drained of all water before storage. Finally make sure all water is drained from the pressure washer before packing away for the cold winter months.
