To Next PageTo Next PageWhy won't my Simpson PS60995 Pressure Washer engine start?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer engine won't start, there are several possible causes. First, ensure you have fresh fuel. If pressure builds 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.
What to do if my Simpson PS60995 has no or low pressure on initial use?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer is experiencing no or low pressure during initial use, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the spray wand is set to high pressure. The water supply must be at least 5 gpm at 20 PSI. Check for and repair any leaks at the high-pressure hose fitting, applying sealant tape if needed. Inspect the nozzle for obstructions. Remove and clean the water filter screen. Eliminate air from the hose by disconnecting the water source, turning it on to flush out air, and then reconnecting. Ensure the choke is in the “No Choke” position. Also, make sure that the high pressure hose is under 100 feet (30 m).
How to fix a Simpson Pressure Washer that will not draw chemicals?
If your Simpson Pressure Washer is not drawing chemicals, there are several potential reasons. First, ensure the spray wand is set to low pressure. Check and clean the chemical filter if it's clogged. Make sure the end of the detergent siphon hose is fully submerged in the cleaning solution. If the chemical is too thick, dilute it to the consistency of water. Use a longer water supply hose instead of a high-pressure hose.
Why is oil leaking at the pump of my Simpson Pressure Washer?
If you notice oil leaking at the pump of your Simpson Pressure Washer, several issues could be the cause. First, tighten the loose drain plug. Check and replace the worn drain plug o-ring and the worn fill plug o-ring. Make sure that the pump is filled with the correct amount of oil. If the incorrect oil was used, drain and fill with the correct type of oil. Clean the vent plug by blowing air through it to remove any blockage, and replace the plug if the issue persists. Clean and/or replace the air filter element.
How to stop water leaking at the gun/spray wand connection of my Simpson Pressure Washer?
If water is leaking at the gun or spray wand connection of your Simpson Pressure Washer, check for a worn or torn o-ring and replace it if necessary. Also, tighten any loose hose connections.
