Why does my Stihl Pressure Washer engine keep stopping?
If your Stihl Pressure Washer engine stops, it may be due to the motor overheating. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the machine voltage and allow the motor to cool down for at least 5 minutes.
How to fix a weak jet on my Stihl RE 471 Pressure Washer?
If your Stihl Pressure Washer is producing a weak, ragged, or unclean jet, it is likely due to a fouled nozzle. Clean the nozzle according to the maintenance instructions.
Why does the pressure fluctuate or drop in my Stihl Pressure Washer?
If the pressure fluctuates or drops in your Stihl Pressure Washer, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the water supply is sufficient by fully opening the water tap and adhering to the permissible suction lift if you're using suction mode. Another possible cause is a dirty high-pressure nozzle, which you should clean. Also, inspect and clean the water intake strainer in the pump inflow. If none of these steps resolve the issue, the high-pressure pump might be leaky, or the valves could be defective, requiring professional servicing.
How to fix a Stihl Pressure Washer when the motor hums but doesn't run?
If your Stihl Pressure Washer's motor hums but doesn't run when switched on, several factors could be at play. It could be due to mains voltage being too low or improper, so check the electrical connection, plug, cable, and switch. An extension cord with the wrong cross-section or excessive length might also be the culprit; use a cord with a sufficient cross-section or connect the machine without any extension. Also, check if the mains circuit-breaker has been tripped. If so, switch off the machine, actuate the spray gun until water only drips out of the head, engage the safety catch, and reset the circuit-breaker. Finally, make sure to actuate the spray gun when switching on the machine.
What to do if the motor on my Stihl RE 471 constantly switches on and off?
If your Stihl Pressure Washer's motor constantly switches on and off, it might be due to a leaky high-pressure pump or spray attachment. In this case, have the machine checked by a servicing dealer.
Why is my Stihl RE 471 Pressure Washer not supplying detergent?
If your Stihl Pressure Washer isn't dispensing detergent, start by checking if the detergent tank is empty and fill it if necessary. If the tank isn't empty, the detergent intake may be clogged; try to eliminate the clog. If the problem persists, the Venturi nozzle might be worn, requiring professional servicing.
