  If the motor of your PowerWasher Pressure Washer won't start or stops while operating, here are a few things to check: * **GFCI Issues:** Perform the GFCI reset procedure. * **Extension Cord:** Ensure you are using the correct extension cord. * **Loose Plug:** Reconnect the plug. * **Thermal Switch:** Allow the unit to cool down before restarting. If these steps don't resolve the issue, remove the gun, aim the water stream away from any electrical source, and turn the unit on. If it starts, you may need to replace the gun assembly.

  If your PowerWasher Pressure Washer motor is running but the pump isn't building maximum or has irregular pressure, consider the following: * Ensure the faucet is fully open. * If the unit was stored in freezing temperatures, thaw it out completely, including the hose, gun, and wand. * Check if the water inlet screen is clogged and clean it (see section 5.4). * There might be air in the pump. Let the pressure washer run with the gun open and the wand removed until a steady stream of water is released.
