| Unit does not reach high pressure. | Diameter of garden hose is too small. | Replace with a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) garden hose. |
| Water supply is restricted. | Check garden hose for kinks, leaks and blockage. | |
| Not enough water supply. | Open water source fully. | |
| Water inlet filter is clogged. | Remove filter and rinse in warm water. | |
| Power nozzle is in low- pressure position. | Turn power nozzle to high- pressure position. | |
| Pump is sucking air. | Check that hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn “OFF” machine, and purge pump by squeezing trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. | |
| Output pressure varies high and low. | Not enough inlet water supply. | Turn water on fully. Check garden hose for kinks, leaks or blockage |
| Pump is sucking air. | Check that hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn “OFF” machine, and purge pump by squeezing trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. | |
| Water inlet filter is clogged. | Remove filter and rinse with warm water. | |
| Unit does not reach high pressure. | Diameter of garden hose is too small. | Add more detergent. |
| Detergent bottle or suction tube not properly connected. | Check connections. | |
| Detergent is too thick. | Dilute detergent. | |
| Filter on detergent suction tube is clogged. | Run warm water through filter to remove build-up. | |
| Damaged or clogged deter- gent suction tube. | Remove obstruction or replace detergent suction tube. | |
| Nozzle is in high-pressure position. | Turn nozzle tip to low-pressure position. | |
| Discharge nozzle is obstructed. | Blow out or remove debris with a fine needle. | |
| Garden hose connection leaks. | Loose fittings. | Tighten fittings. |
| Missing/worn rubber washer. | Insert new washer. | |
| Spray wand, extension, or nozzle leaks. | Broken o-ring or plastic insert. | Call the Toll-Free Customer Help Line. |

| Water seals are damaged or worn. | Call the Toll-Free Customer Help Line. | |
| Oil is dripping | Oil seals are damaged or worn. | |
| Motor buzzes but fails to run. | Supply voltage below mini- mum. | Verify that only the pressure washer is running on this circuit. |
| System has residual pres- sure. | Turn unit “OFF”, squeeze trigger on spray wand to release pressure, then turn unit “ON”. | |
| Voltage loss due to extension cord. | Unplug any extension cords attached and plug the unit directly into the outlet. | |
| Pressure washer not used for long periods. | Call the Toll-Free Customer Help Line. | |
| Residual friction among components. Unit might hum. | Disconnect water supply and power ON for 2 to 3 seconds, repeat couple times or until the motor starts. | |
| Tripped circuit breaker | Switch off pressure washer, squeeze trigger gun waiting for a steady flow of water emerge from spray nozzle, then turn on the unit. ( ensure when you turn on the unit , trigger gun is at “on” position). | |
| No Water | Quick connect assembly is attached in reverse. | Verify that Inlet adapter is attached to machine’s water inlet and that the quick connect coupler is attached to garden hose. |
| Water supply is OFF. | Turn ON water supply. | |
