    What to do if my Clarke TIGER 1800A Pressure Washer has lack of pressure on initial use?
    • A
      Autumn ThomasAug 15, 2025
      If your Clarke Pressure Washer lacks pressure upon initial use, several factors could be responsible. Check for leaks in the high-pressure hose fitting and tighten it, using sealant tape if needed. Also, ensure the nozzle isn't obstructed and clear it if necessary. Clean the water filter screen if it's clogged. Finally, if there's air in the hose, turn off the engine and water supply, disconnect the water source, expel the air from the hose, reconnect it, and then pull the trigger to expel air from the gun/lance.

      If your Clarke Pressure Washer lacks pressure after a period of normal use, the worn seal or packing, and worn or obstructed valves may be the cause. Have them replaced by your dealer.

    Why won't my Clarke TIGER 1800A Pressure Washer engine start?
    • P
      Patricia CohenAug 22, 2025
      There are several reasons why your Clarke Pressure Washer engine might not start. It could be due to: lack of fuel (add fuel), low oil (add oil), pressure build-up (squeeze the gun trigger to relieve the pressure), a disconnected spark plug lead (attach the spark plug lead), the engine switch being in the OFF position (set the engine switch to the ON position), the choke lever being set to the ON position when the engine is warm (set the choke lever to the OFF position), or the fuel valve being closed (open the fuel valve).

    What to do if my Clarke TIGER 1800A Pressure Washer will not draw chemicals?
    • Z
      Zachary MccannAug 26, 2025
      If your Clarke Pressure Washer isn't drawing chemicals, the chemical filter may be blocked (clean the filter), the chemicals being used may be too thick (dilute the chemicals to the consistency of water), or the high-pressure hose may be too long (use a longer supply hose instead of a longer high-pressure hose). For chemical build-up inside the chemical injector, have the parts cleaned or replaced by your dealer.

    Why Clarke TIGER 1800A has lack of pressure even when new?
    • W
      Wesley GatesAug 28, 2025
      If your Clarke Pressure Washer continues to lack pressure even when new, make sure the choke lever is in the OFF position. Also, ensure the throttle control lever is set high enough by moving it to the left. Finally, verify that the high-pressure hose is under 100 feet.

      If water is leaking at the pump of your Clarke Pressure Washer, check for loose connections and tighten them. For piston packings worn, worn or broken O-rings, and pump head or tubes damaged from freezing, have it replaced by your dealer.

    Why is water leaking from the drain hose of my Clarke Pressure Washer?
    • M
      moorecarlosSep 4, 2025
      Water leaking from the drain hose of your Clarke Pressure Washer is a safety feature. It cools the pump by releasing some of the hot water within the pump and replacing it with fresh ‘cool’ water, which is expected.

    Why is my Clarke Pressure Washer pump pulsating?
    • S
      Stephanie LewisSep 7, 2025
      If your Clarke Pressure Washer pump is pulsating, it is likely that the nozzle is obstructed. Clear the nozzle.

    • E
      Elizabeth LaneSep 12, 2025
