If your Karcher HDS 601 hot pressure washer (240v mains powered) won’t start, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Check the Power Supply: Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. If using an extension lead, make sure it is suitable for the pressure washer's power requirements and is fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
• Inspect the Fuel and Oil Levels: Verify that there is enough diesel in the fuel tank and that the oil level is adequate. Low fuel or oil levels can prevent the machine from starting.
• Check the Safety Switches: Make sure all safety switches and controls are set correctly. Some models have safety features that prevent starting if not engaged properly.
• Look for Blockages: Inspect the water inlet and filters for blockages or debris that could be affecting the flow of water into the machine.
• Examine the Circuit Breaker: Ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If it has, reset it and try starting the machine again.
• Consult the Manual: Refer to the user manual for specific troubleshooting tips related to your model. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to contact an authorised Karcher service centre for professional assistance.
