  If your IDROBASE Pressure Washer doesn't start when you press the power switch, it might be due to a triggered safety feature like a fuse or circuit breaker, or the power plug might not be correctly inserted. Try resetting or replacing the safety feature. If it happens repeatedly, stop using the machine and consult a qualified technician. Also, check the power plug and make sure it is correctly inserted into the socket.

  If there is no water or detergent reaching the lance of your IDROBASE Pressure Washer, even when the pump is working, it could be due to air in the circuit, a blocked lance nozzle, no water supply to the lance, or a faulty or badly fitted detergent intake pipe. Here's how to troubleshoot: 1. Release any trapped air. 2. Switch off the machine, disassemble, and clean the nozzle. 3. Check the water supply circuit. 4. Check the positioning of the hose or replace it.

  If your IDROBASE Pressure Washer is vibrating in the delivery pipe or sprayer, it could be due to several reasons: * The pump is taking in air. * There is no water supply. * The water filter is dirty or blocked. * The pump valve is damaged. To address this: 1. Check that all hoses are in good condition and replace any cracked or broken ones. 2. Check the connection to the water mains. 3. Check the connection to the water supply and ensure the float is not obstructed; replace if necessary. 4. Clean or replace the water filter.

  If the pressure in your IDROBASE Pressure Washer pump is above normal but the pressure to the lance is weak, it's likely that the lance nozzle is blocked or the circuit is blocked. To fix this, switch off the machine, disassemble the nozzle, and clean it. Also, replace or clear the inlet and outlet pipes.

Why is there white smoke coming from the boiler of my IDROBASE Pressure Washer, even when the running temperature has been reached?
- W
  William MahoneyAug 28, 2025
  If you're seeing white smoke from the boiler of your IDROBASE Pressure Washer, even after it has reached running temperature, it's likely due to an excess of air in the combustor. To resolve this, adjust the pressure of diesel fuel to 10 bar.
