If the burner on your Hotsy pressure washer won't ignite when the trigger gun is open, the possible causes are no fuel, an adjustable thermostat set too low, a defective pressure switch, dirty or misadjusted electrodes, or no AC generator output. Replenish the fuel supply, raise the temperature setting, repair or replace the pressure switch, refer to the Oil Burner Manual provided with the machine regarding the electrodes, and check the AC generator.
