SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION
Motor will not start The gun trigger is not being pulled while
starting
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. Turn on the unit and see if it will run with no water
to it. If it does come on, turn it off right away. If it
does not, go to step 5.
5. 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 6.
6. 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.
Low pressure testing Pump, gun or lance problem 1. Remove the black high-pressure hose from the
pressure washer.
2. Hook up the garden hose.
3. For electric pressure washers, turn on the water
supply but DO NOT turn on the unit If you have a
gas pressure washer, DO NOT start the engine.
4. 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 and gun to the pressure washer.
Remove the wand or lance off of the gun. The
wand or lance is the extension with the adjustable
nozzle that connects to the center of your gun.
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 check valve in the gun is bad and the
gun needs to be replaced. If it does shoot 10-20
feet, then the wand/lance needs to be checked
for clogs. See page 14 for Nozzle Cleaning
Instructions.
