If your Simpson Pressure Washer trigger gun leaks or won't shut off, it is likely due to debris in the gun valve assembly. Clean the valve assembly or replace the gun.
What causes the discharge water temperature to exceed the recommended temperature on my Simpson Brute?
If the discharge water temperature on your Simpson Pressure Washer exceeds the recommended operating temperature, it could be due to: * Burner input being too high for the conditions: Decrease fuel pump pressure and/or fuel nozzle size. * Restricted water flow: Clean or replace the nozzle with the proper size, descale the coil, and clear any obstructions. * A faulty high-temperature limit switch or one set too high: Replace or reset the temperature limit switch.
Why won't my Simpson Brute Pressure Washer burner fire and emits diesel fumes?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer burner won't fire and emits diesel fumes, consider these possible reasons: * The fuel-to-air ratio is out of adjustment: Set the air band and fuel pressure to specifications. * The fuel nozzle is partially clogged: Replace the nozzle with one of the proper size. * The ignition transformer isn't providing a spark to the fuel: Replace the ignition transformer, and clean and adjust the electrodes.
Why does my Simpson Brute Pressure Washer burner fire and smoke?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer burner fires and smokes, the potential causes are: * The fuel-to-air ratio is out of adjustment: Set the air band and fuel pressure to the specified levels. * Excessive soot on coils: Clean the soot off to improve airflow. * Improper voltage at the burner: Adjust the RPM of the generator, if equipped.
Why won't my Simpson Brute auto-start?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer will not auto-start, it may be due to: * Inadequate water supply: Check for correct pressure and gallonage. * Coil scale build-up: Descale the coil to improve water flow. * Issues with the filter screen and inlet pressure: Pull the trigger gun to check the auto-start function. * A faulty pressure switch on the unloader: Replace it. * A faulty timer: Remove leads from the timer at the control end to see if the machine shuts off after the time out; replace if defective.
Why is the pressure erratic and fluctuating on my Simpson Brute Pressure Washer?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer pump runs, but the pressure is erratic and fluctuating, the causes might be: * Inadequate incoming water supply: Increase the water supply flow. * Stuck inlet or discharge valves: Clean out or replace worn valves. * Restricted inlet or air entering the inlet plumbing on the pump: Check fittings and hose for an airtight seal, and clean the inlet strainer screen. * Leaking high-pressure seals: Replace the seals. * Leaking low-pressure seals: Pressure feed the pump and replace the low-pressure seals if water leaks from the pump head.
Why is my Simpson Brute Pressure Washer inlet injection not siphoning chemical?
If the inlet injection on your Simpson Pressure Washer won't siphon chemical, check the following: * The check valve in the strainer might be clogged: Clean or replace it, and rinse after each use. * The chemical valve might not be open or could be clogged: Open the chemical valve or clean it. * The strainer might not be submerged in the solution: Submerge the strainer and replenish the chemical. * The detergent hose could be cut or kinked: Inspect the hose and replace it if necessary.
Why is oil leaking from my Simpson Brute pump?
If oil is leaking from your Simpson Pressure Washer pump, possible causes include: * A loose drain plug or damaged seal: Locate the leak and replace the O-ring or seal. * A leaking crankshaft oil seal: Replace the seal. * A leaking Oil Sight Glass seal: Replace the seal. * Leaking Piston Oil Seal: Replace the seals and install the correct amount of oil in the pump.
Why isn't my Simpson Pressure Washer downstream injector siphoning chemical?
If the downstream injector on your Simpson Pressure Washer isn't siphoning chemical, consider these issues: * The adjustable knob on the injector might be closed (if applicable); open it by turning counterclockwise. * The unit might not be in low-pressure mode; open the dual wand or install a low-pressure (BLACK) nozzle. * The detergent hose could be cut or kinked; inspect and replace it if needed. * The chemical strainer might be plugged or not submerged; check the screen on the strainer pickup tube. * Internal injector parts could be corroded or stuck; disassemble and clean or replace them. * The outlet water temperature might be too high; use cold water (150ºF maximum).
