Once you have replaced the batteries in your Karcher Window Vac, it is important to test them before using the device. This will ensure that the new batteries are functioning properly and will provide enough power for your window cleaning needs. To test the new batteries, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Power on the Window Vac
Turn on your Karcher Window Vac by pressing the power button.
Step 2: Check the battery indicator
Look at the battery indicator on the device to see if it shows a full charge. If the indicator does not display a full charge, the batteries may not be installed correctly or they may need to be charged.
Step 3: Test the suction power
Place the Window Vac against a glass surface and press the suction button. The device should create a strong suction power and effectively clean the glass. If the suction power is weak or the device does not pick up any dirt, the batteries may need to be replaced or charged again.
Note: It is important to clean the glass surface beforehand to ensure accurate test results.
If the new batteries pass these tests and the Window Vac functions properly, you can be confident that your device is ready for use. However, if you continue to experience issues with the device’s performance, it may be necessary to consult the Karcher customer support team for further assistance.
