PROBLEMS WHILE USING PRESSURE WASHER
Problem step 1 step2
The water pump does not reach
nominal pressure Verify that the nozzle is the
nozzle supplied by IDROMATIC
and that it is not worn out.
There is an air leak somewhere
in the inlet line. Air can come in
through gaskets or valves above
the fluid line.
Dirty/worn valves
Regulation valve seat worn
Replace the nozzle.
Check inlet line - verify the
state of the suction tube.
Replace or clean the valves.
Replace the regulation valve
seat.
The pressure gauge fluctuates
up and down
Worn out/dirty valves
High water temperature
Worn gaskets
Worn nozzle Replace/clean
Lower the temperature.
Replace the gaskets.
Replace the nozzle.
Excessive noise
Water temperature too high
Air leak in the pump inlet line
Dirty/worn valves Lower the water temperature
Check inlet line – verify the
state of the suction tube.
Clean/replace valves.
Water leakage from the pump
head
Oil leakage
Electric motor doesn’t start Worn gaskets
Worn oil gaskets
No electrical current Replace gaskets.
Replace gaskets.
Make sure the plug is properly
plugged in and verify the
presence of electrical current
on the line.
Make sure the switch trips.
The motor hums but does not
start
The tension in the electrical grid
is under the required tension
for nominal operation.
The drop in voltage is generated
by an extension cord with an
improper width or excessive
length.
The pump is blocked. Make sure that the electrical
grid has an adequate voltage.
Use a proper extension cord*
Rotate the pump as per
instructions.
* The connection between cable and extension must be tight-fitting. The cross-section of the cable must be proportional to its
length – the longer the extension cord, the wider its cross-section. If the end of the extension cord is hot to the touch it is indicative
of an inappropriate cross-section.
