High pressure washer Kärcher HDS 5/15 UX

The High pressure washer Kärcher HDS 5/15 UX is an entry-level hot water high-pressure cleaner designed for efficient mobile cleaning tasks. With a maximum working pressure of 150 bar and a compact upright design, the unit combines thermal cleaning capability and transport-friendly dimensions. It features a 6.5 L fuel tank, a connected electrical load of 2700 W for ignition and controls, and operates on 230 V AC at 50 Hz. The built-in 15 m pressure hose on a hose reel, large wheels, push handle and a total weight of 76 kg make the HDS 5/15 UX easy to move and position on uneven surfaces while delivering improved removal of grease and persistent soiling through hot water cleaning.

Advantages

The upright, space-saving design yields a compact, lighter machine that is easier to transport and store than conventional horizontal units. Integrated features such as EASY!Force high-pressure gun reduce operator fatigue by using jet recoil to cancel holding force, while EASY!Lock quick-release fasteners speed up assembly and disassembly compared with screw connections. The combination of patented nozzle technology, a turbo blower, higher pump efficiency and a powerful dirt blaster ensures consistent and effective cleaning performance for stubborn contaminants. A 15-metre pressure hose on a built-in reel, hose and lance storage options, and large wheels contribute to practical everyday use.

Unwind the 15 m pressure hose from the built-in reel and attach the EASY!Force high-pressure gun and the appropriate nozzle or dirt blaster for the task. Start the unit following the manufacturer’s operating instructions, allow the burner to reach operating temperature, then begin cleaning with hot water at the required pressure. Use the EASY!Lock fittings to change accessories quickly and rewind the hose on the reel after use. Follow safety guidance for hot water and high-pressure equipment at all times.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when operating the hot water high-pressure cleaner. Select nozzle types and the dirt blaster to match the surface and degree of contamination, and avoid prolonged focal spraying on sensitive surfaces. For transport, secure the unit and any loose accessories; for storage, drain fuel if required by seasonal storage guidelines and store the machine in a frost-free, dry environment.
