To Next PageTo Next PageWhy won't my Simoniz 039-8557-8 motor start?
The motor may not start for several reasons. First, ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” ( | ) position. Next, check that the power cord is properly plugged in. If you're using an extension cord, make sure it's either a 25’ (7.6 m) 14/3 gauge cord or a 50’ (15 m) 14/3 gauge cord. Finally, the electrical outlet might not be providing enough power, so try a different outlet.
What to do if my Simoniz 039-8557-8 Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure?
If your pressure washer isn't reaching high pressure, several factors could be the cause. Ensure you are using a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) garden hose. Check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that might be restricting the water supply. Make sure the water source is fully open. Clean the water inlet filter by removing it and rinsing it in warm water. Verify that the power nozzle is set to a high-pressure tip. Also, check that hoses and fittings are airtight, and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle.
Why is the output pressure of my Simoniz 039-8557-8 varying high and low?
Inconsistent output pressure in your Simoniz Pressure Washer can stem from a few issues. First, ensure that the water is turned on fully and inspect the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Another potential cause is the pump sucking air; check that all hoses and fittings are airtight, and then turn off the machine and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water comes through the nozzle. Lastly, a clogged water inlet filter can cause pressure fluctuations, so remove the filter and rinse it with warm water.
