If oil squirts out of the oil cap on your Hotsy Pressure Washer pump, it's likely that the pump is overfilled with oil. Maintain the oil level halfway up on the sight glass at the rear of the pump or at the top of the notch on the dipstick (where applicable).
What to do if my Hotsy Pressure Washer system will not start?
If your Hotsy Pressure Washer system will not start, the motor overload may have tripped; check and reset it. Alternatively, the pressure switch might be faulty (time delay only); check, clean, or replace it. A faulty timer (time delay only) could also be the cause; check and replace it as necessary.
Why does the motor strain under load on my Hotsy 1700?
If your Hotsy Pressure Washer's motor strains under load, it could be due to a faulty motor (send to the nearest Baldor repair center), an incorrect spray nozzle (install the proper nozzle size as indicated on the serial plate), or an obstruction in the spray nozzle (remove the obstruction).
Why is the pressure low on my Hotsy Pressure Washer after a period of normal use?
Low pressure after normal use in your Hotsy Pressure Washer could be caused by a worn nozzle (check and replace if necessary), worn inlet or discharge valves (check and replace if necessary), blocked inlet or discharge valves (check and clean if necessary), or a worn unloader valve seat (check and replace if necessary).
Why is my Hotsy Pressure Washer pump so noisy?
A noisy pump in your Hotsy Pressure Washer can be attributed to several factors. There might be air in the suction line, so check the water supply and connections. Broken or weak inlet or discharge valve springs could also be the cause, requiring inspection and replacement. Foreign matter in the valves, worn bearings, or excessive temperature of the liquid (reduce to below 75° C (180°F)) can also contribute to the noise.
Why is the pressure fluctuating on my Hotsy Pressure Washer?
Fluctuating pressure in your Hotsy Pressure Washer could be due to several reasons: worn valves (check and replace if necessary), a blockage in a valve (check and clean out if necessary), the pump sucking air (check the water supply and suction line for air seepage at joints), or worn piston packing (check and replace if necessary).
What to do if my Hotsy 1700 pump is running normally but pressure output is low?
If your Hotsy Pressure Washer's pump is running normally but the pressure output is low, several issues could be the cause. The pump may be sucking air, so check the water supply for air seepage. Valves could be sticking, requiring cleaning or replacement. The unloader valve seat might be faulty and need replacement. The nozzle could be incorrectly sized, so check and replace it according to the serial plate. Finally, worn piston packing could be the problem, necessitating inspection and replacement.
Why is the pressure low after normal use on my Hotsy 1700?
If the pressure is low on your Hotsy Pressure Washer after a period of normal use, there are several things to check. The nozzle may be worn, so inspect and replace it if necessary. Also, the inlet or discharge valves could be worn or blocked; check and replace or clean them as needed. Finally, the unloader valve seat might be worn, so check and replace it if necessary.
Why does the motor “hum” but not turn on my Hotsy 1700 Pressure Washer?
A motor that “hums” but does not turn on your Hotsy Pressure Washer indicates electric motor single phasing. Check for a blown fuse or a loose power line.
Why won't my Hotsy 1700 Pressure Washer start when I pull the spray gun trigger?
If your Hotsy Pressure Washer machine will not start when the spray gun trigger is pulled, it could be due to a loss of electrical power (check the circuit breaker) or a faulty on/off switch, pressure switch, timer, or magnetic contactor (test and replace as needed).
