hi, how do you replace the gun on karcher KB4040-im having some difficulty plugging the new replacement into the Karcher.

@tougandoche If it is the quick release system - it should be as described in the video above. Failing that try the Karcher Home and Garden helpline on 01295 752200.

Not necessarily. Always make sure that your model number is listed against the replacement gun. If you go to our site you can enter your model number and see all the guns that match. (sorry can put links in YT comments).

Thanks, this was a great help. Our gun started leaking after only a few uses and the whole thing is sealed and cannot be opened (it's riveted not screwed) so I presume the only option is to replace it?

@cawoodm Hey. I would say a new gun is order. The guns themselves tend to be unserviceable (high pressure components and all that). They do a few different types of gun too.

[tougandoche]

yes, it uses the quick connect system. It definitely plugs in but the angle is too narrow to plug it into the Karcher KB4040

Thanks, I presume the first three guns you show are interchangeable since the connector is the same?
