How to fix a Simpson PS60842-S Pressure Washer when the engine will not start?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer engine won't start, there are several possible causes. First, ensure you have fresh fuel in the tank. If pressure has built up after a couple of pulls on the recoil starter, squeeze the gun trigger to relieve the pressure. Check that the choke lever is in the 'Choke' position. Lastly, make sure the spark plug wire is securely attached.
Why is my Simpson PS60842-S having no or low pressure?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer has no or low pressure upon initial use, several factors could be responsible. * Ensure the spray wand is set to high pressure. * Confirm that the water supply provides at least 5 gpm @ 20 PSI. * Check for leaks at the high-pressure hose fitting; repair any leaks and apply sealant tape if needed. * Inspect the nozzle for obstructions, and refer to the Nozzle Cleaning instructions if necessary. * Clean the water filter screen. Also, make sure that there is no air in the hose, that the choke is not in the 'Choke' position and that the high pressure hose is under 100 feet (30 m).
