PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Unit will not turn on.
1. Make sure the power washer is OFF. Plug in the electrical cord to a grounded
120 volt outlet (no electrical extension cord should be used). If the electrical
cord will not plug into your outlet, your electrical outlet is not properly
grounded and should not be used. Use another electrical outlet.
2. If this did not correct the problem, try plugging into another electrical outlet
and repeat the above procedure. If it is still not working, call Customer Service
The high pressure
(HP) hose will
not connect/stay
connected to the
spray gun. Is this a
spray gun problem?
1. In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The problem is the rubber
sleeve covering the fitting at the end of the high pressure hose. It has likely
slipped up toward the metal tip. To fix: wiggle, twist and/or pull the rubber
sleeve down until the entire tip is visible plus an 1/8 in. of the metal fitting
below the tip. Now try to insert the hose tip into the spray gun. It should
“click” into place and will not come out until the hose is released by pushing in
the lever on the underside of the gun. You may cut away the end of the sleeve
with a sharp knife if unable to move the sleeve down. Be careful not to cut or
puncture the hose.
The unit is running
but there is no water
flow.
1. Check the water source. Unclog the nozzle on the lance. (See nozzle cleaning
instructions under “Cleaning nozzles”.) Or take o the lance and spray out of
the spray gun. This will indicate if the problem is with the lance.
Why is water
leaking where the
high pressure hose
connects to the spray
gun?
1. Make sure there is an o-ring (included with package contents) at the end of
the metal tip of the high pressure hose. If no o-ring is present, the connection
between the hose and spray gun will leak.
I can’t remove the
lance from the spray
gun. What should
I do?
1. All lances are attached and removed from the spray gun in the same manner.
Insert the end of the lance into the spray gun. Press the spray gun and lance
together (about a 1/8 in.) and turn the collar of the gun clockwise. The lance
will lock in place. Remove the lance by reversing this procedure. Press the
spray gun and lance together and turn counter clockwise. The lance will slide
out.
2. Hold the spray gun and lance in an upright position with the nozzle end on
the floor. Push the whole assembly straight down to loosen the connection,
and then follow the removal process again. You may also spray soapy water or
a lubricant in the area where the lance connects to the spray gun.
The power washer
turns on for
2 seconds, shuts
o, and will not turn
back on. Do I have a
defective unit?
1. When the water is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the
power is turned on, the power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to prime
the pump. It automatically shuts o and waits for the spray gun trigger to be
pressed. When the trigger is pressed, water starts flowing through the pump.
The water sensor in the pump “senses” the moving water and automatically
turns the power washer on.
2. Turn the power o, hold in the trigger on the spray gun so that you have a
steady stream of water. While you are holding the trigger open on the spray
gun, at the same time, turn the power on.
