Troubleshooting Guide (Continued)
SYMPTOM
Motor will not start
Low pressure testing
CAUSE
The gun trigger is not being pulled while
starting
Pump, gun or lance problem
SOLUTION
1. Turn the water supply off. Disconnect the garden hose
and the black high- pressure hose from the unit. This will
relieve any pressure from the pump.
2. Plug the unit in to the electrical outlet. Make sure the unit
is in the OFF position.
3. If your unit is equipped with a GFCI plug, push the top
button, then the bottom button and then top button
again. You should have a light showing on the small
window above these buttons. If no red light is showing,
you are not getting power to the unit. The unit can be
taken to a service center for repair.
4. Hook the water supply back to the unit and turn the
water on. Press the on button and see if it will start. If it
does, shut the water and the unit off, attach the gun and
hose and go to step 5.
5. With the unit in the OFF position, pull the trigger on the
gun and make sure a small stream of water is coming
out. Keep the trigger pressed while turning the unit ON.
1. Remove the black high-pressure hose from the
pressure washer.
2. Hook up the garden hose.
3. Turn on the water supply the water should flow
through the pressure washer.
4. Turn on the pressure washer. The water should
shoot 8-10 feet from the pump out of the pipe
where the high-pressure hose hooks up.
5. If water does shoot 8-10 feet, then the pump is
fine. If not, then the pump needs to be cleaned.
Turn the water off to the pressure washer and call
Technical Support at 1-800-330-0712 for further
instructions.
6. If the pump is fine, then attach the black high-
pressure hose to the pressure washer. Remove the
nozzle from the lance.
7. Turn the water back on and trigger the gun. Water
should shoot 10-20 feet from the gun.
8. If water does not shoot 10-20 feet from the gun,
then the trigger valve in the gun is bad and the gun
needs to be replaced. If it does shoot 10-20 feet,
then the nozzle needs to be checked for clogs.
