How to fix a Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3 when the motor doesn't start?
If the Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer motor doesn't start when switched on, first ensure the plug is correctly inserted and that there is current. Check the plug, lead, and switch. If necessary, have them replaced by a trained electrician. Also, check if the main fuse is switched off and turn it on if needed.
Why is there a pressure drop in my Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3?
If you experience pressure drops with your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer, it might be due to several reasons. First, there may be air in the system; vent it by operating the spray gun several times at short intervals, or operate the cleaner briefly without the high-pressure hose connected. Other potential causes include a blocked or worn high-pressure nozzle (clean or replace it), incorrect pressure control settings on the spray lance (set the required working pressure), an empty detergent container (change container or close detergent valve), or a water inlet temperature that's too high (refer to technical data part ”B”).
Why does my Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3 Pressure Washer have pressure fluctuations?
If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer exhibits pressure fluctuations, it could be due to a lack of water. Ensure the water tap is fully open. The water inlet hose might be too long or have a cross-section that's too small; use the specified water inlet hose. A blocked water filter can also cause this; clean the water filter in the water connection, always operating with a filter. Check that the maximum permissible suction height has not been exceeded. Finally, the pump might be sucking in air (in suction mode); verify that the suction set is airtight.
What to do if Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3 motor buzzes but doesn't start?
If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer motor buzzes without starting, the main voltage might be too low, or there could be a phase failure (for 3-phase models); have the electrical connections checked. Alternatively, the pump could be blocked or frozen, requiring service. Also, ensure that you are using an extension lead with the correct cross-section and length.
Why does the Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3 motor keep switching off?
If the Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer motor switches off, the overload protection may have been activated due to overheating or overloading. Ensure the main voltage and cleaner voltage are the same, then switch off the cleaner and let it cool for at least 3 minutes. Additionally, a dirty high-pressure nozzle can cause this issue; replace the high-pressure nozzle.
Why does my Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3 keep starting and stopping on its own?
If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer starts and stops by itself, there is likely a leakage on the outlet side. Locate the leak and repair it.
Why is my Nilfisk-ALTO POSEIDON 7 - C3 Pressure Washer not drawing detergent?
If your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer isn't drawing in detergents, the injector might be dirty, or the suction hose could be blocked; try cleaning them. Ensure the detergent container isn't empty; top up or change the container. Also, check that the cap on the nozzle is set at low pressure; turn the cap of the FlexoPower nozzle towards ”CHEM” up to the stop.
Why is the working pressure too low on my Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer?
If the working pressure of your Nilfisk-ALTO Pressure Washer is too low, and there's a loud noise coming from the pump, the suction and pressure valves might be leaking; consider replacing these parts. Also, the piston U-sleeves in the pump may be worn; check the pump for damaged parts and reassemble the pump housing with the correct torque.
