If your Kobalt Pressure Washer is running but no water is flowing, check the water source. Also, unclog the nozzle on the lance, or take off the lance and just spray out of the spray gun to see if the issue is with the lance.
What to do if my Kobalt Pressure Washer turns on then immediately off?
When the water is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the power switch is turned on, the Kobalt power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to prime the pump. It automatically shuts off 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. You can also try turning the power switch off, holding the trigger on the spray gun to ensure a steady stream of water, and then turning the power switch back on while still holding the trigger.
Why is my Kobalt KPW-1700 Pressure Washer leaking water at the hose connection?
Water leakage at the high-pressure hose connection to the spray gun on your Kobalt Pressure Washer is likely due to a missing o-ring. Ensure there is an o-ring at the end of the metal tip of the high-pressure hose.
What to do if the high pressure hose won't connect to my Kobalt Pressure Washer spray gun?
The issue with the high-pressure hose not connecting to the spray gun of your Kobalt Pressure Washer is likely due to the rubber sleeve covering the fitting at the end of the high-pressure hose. Wiggle, twist, or pull the rubber sleeve down until the entire tip is visible, plus an 1/8 inch of the metal fitting below the tip. If you still have problems, you may carefully cut away the end of the sleeve with a sharp knife, being careful not to damage the hose.
How to remove the lance from my Kobalt KPW-1700 Pressure Washer spray gun?
To remove the lance from the spray gun of your Kobalt Pressure Washer: 1. Insert the quick-release end of the lance/detergent bottle into the spray gun. 2. Press the spray gun and lance together (about a 1/8 in.) and turn clockwise. 3. Remove the lance by reversing this procedure. Press the spray gun and lance together and turn counter clockwise. The lance will slide out. If it's still stuck, hold the spray gun and lance upright with the nozzle end on the floor, push the whole assembly straight down to loosen the connection, and then try the removal process again. You can also try spraying soapy water or a lubricant where the lance connects to the spray gun.
