Make sure the power washer is in the "OFF" position. Plug in the electrical
cord to a grounded 230 volt outlet (no electrical extension cord should be
used).
In most cases, the spray gun is not the problem. The problem is the rubber
sleeve covering the fitting at the end of the high pressure hose. It has likely
slipped up toward the metal tip. The fix: wiggle, twist and/or pull the rubber
sleeve down until the entire tip is visible plus an 1/8" of the metal fitting below
the tip. Now try to insert the hose tip into the spray gun. It should "click" into
place and will not come out until the hose is released by pushing in the lever
on the underside of the gun. You may cut away the end of the sleeve with a
sharp knife if unable to move the sleeve down. Be careful not to cut or punc-
ture the hose.
Check the water source. Unclog the nozzle on the lance. (See nozzle cleaning
instructions under "Cleaning nozzles".) Or take off the lance and just spray out
of the spray gun. This will indicate if the problem is with the lance or the spray
gun
Make sure there is an o-ring at the end of the metal tip of the high pressure
hose. If no o-ring is present, the connection between the hose and spray gun
will leak.
The lance is attached and removed from the spray gun in the same manner.
Insert the quick-release end of the lance into the spray gun. Press the spray
gun and lance together (about a 1/8") and turn clockwise. The lance will lock
in place. Remove the lance by reversing this procedure. Press the spray gun
and lance together and turn counter clockwise. The lance will slide out. Or, hold
the spray gun and lance in an upright position with the nozzle end on the floor .
Push the whole assembly straight down to loosen the connection, and then fol-
low the removal process again. You may also spray soapy water or a lubricant
in the area where the lance connects to the spray gun. Remember to loosen/
tighten the locking collar on the lance in between operations!
No, it sounds like your power washer is working just fine. When the water is
connected, the accessories are assembled properly, and the power switch is
turned on, the power washer will turn on for 1 - 2 seconds to prime the pump.
It automatically shuts off and waits for the spray gun trigger to be squeezed.
When the trigger is squeezed, water starts flowing through the pump. The
water sensor in the pump "senses" the moving water and automatically turns
the power washer on. Or, turn the power switch to off, hold in the trigger on the
spray gun, so that you have a steady stream of water. While you are holding the
trigger open on the spray gun, at the same time, turn the power switch on.
