  First, ensure the pressure washer is OFF. Plug the electrical cord into a grounded 120 volt outlet, without using an electrical extension cord. If the electrical cord does not plug into your outlet, your electrical outlet is not properly grounded and should not be used; try another electrical outlet. If the issue persists, try plugging into another electrical outlet and repeat the procedure. If it is still not working, call Customer Service.

What to do if my Kobalt Pressure Washer turns on for 2 seconds, shuts off, and won't turn back on?

  When the water is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the power switch is turned on, the Kobalt pressure 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 and the water sensor in the pump senses the moving water and automatically turns the power washer on. You can also try turning the power off, holding in the trigger on the spray gun to ensure a steady stream of water, and then, while holding the trigger open, turn the power on.

Why is water leaking where the high pressure hose connects to the Kobalt KPW 2N1 spray gun?
- D

  Ensure that there is an o-ring (included with package contents) at the end of the metal tip of the high pressure hose. If no o-ring is present, the connection between the hose and spray gun will leak.

  Check the water source. Unclog the nozzle on the lance, referring to the nozzle cleaning instructions. Alternatively, remove the lance and spray directly from the spray gun to determine if the lance is the source of the problem.

How to disconnect the lance from the Kobalt KPW 2N1 Pressure Washer spray gun?

  All lances and the detergent bottle are attached and removed from the spray gun in the same manner. Insert the quick-release end of the lance/detergent bottle into the spray gun. Press the spray gun and lance together (about a 1/8 in.) and turn clockwise to lock the lance in place. To remove, reverse this procedure: press the spray gun and lance together and turn counter-clockwise. The lance will then slide out. If it's stuck, hold the spray gun and lance upright with the nozzle end on the floor. Push the assembly straight down to loosen the connection, and then repeat the removal process. You might also try spraying soapy water or a lubricant where the lance connects to the spray gun.

What to do if the high pressure hose will not connect or stay connected to the Kobalt KPW 2N1 Pressure Washer spray gun?

  In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The issue is likely with the rubber sleeve covering the fitting at the end of the high pressure hose. It may have slipped up toward the metal tip. To resolve this, wiggle, twist, and/or pull the rubber sleeve down until the entire tip is visible, plus an additional 1/8 inch of the metal fitting below the tip. Then, try inserting the hose tip into the spray gun; it should click into place and remain secure until released by pushing the lever on the underside of the gun. If you are unable to move the sleeve down, you may carefully cut away the end of the sleeve with a sharp knife, being cautious not to cut or puncture the hose.
