How to connect Stihl RE 170 PLUS Pressure Washer hose if it is difficult?
If you're finding it difficult to connect the connections on your Stihl pressure washer, high-pressure hose, spray gun, or spray lance, the connection seals may not be lubricated. Try lubricating the gaskets to ease the connection.
Why has the water jet shape changed on my Stihl Pressure Washer?
A change in the water jet shape on your Stihl pressure washer is typically caused by: * A blocked nozzle. Clean the nozzle to remove any obstructions. * A worn nozzle. If cleaning doesn't help, the nozzle may need to be replaced.
Why does the high-pressure pump on my Stihl RE 170 PLUS Pressure Washer keep cycling?
If the high-pressure pump on your Stihl pressure washer switches on and off repeatedly without the trigger being pressed, it could be due to leaks in the high-pressure pump, hose, or spray attachment. It is suggested to ask a STIHL servicing dealer to check the pressure washer.
