Why is knowing my Karcher pressure washer's model number important?
Over time, your Karcher pressure washer will likely experience damage, natural wear and tear or any other faults. When this happens, knowing the model number and information will allow you to buy spare parts or accessories that are suitable for your particular pressure washer.

Finding the model number
When it comes to Karcher pressure washers, finding the model number itself is actually fairly straightforward. The model number will be displayed on the front of your appliance either beneath or alongside the title. For example, as pictured below, we can see that the pressure washer on display is a 2-series Karcher pressure washer. Other models include a 3-series, a 4-series and so on.
Finding the full product information
While finding the model number alone is simple, you may also need to know the full product information for purchasing spares, identifying faults and so on. This information is available on a silver data plate which can usually be found on the chassis of your pressure washer. However, the location of the plate could vary, so make sure you also check the front, back and all sides of your appliance if the plate isn't in clear view on the chassis.
