TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

The power washer 

turns on for  

2 seconds, shuts 

off, and will not turn 

back on. Do I have 

a defective unit?

1.  When the water is connected, the accessories are assembled properly, 

and the power switch is turned on, the power washer may turn on for 1 - 2 

seconds to prime the pump. It automatically shuts off and waits for the spray 

gun trigger to be pressed. When the trigger is pressed, water starts flowing 

through the pump. The water sensor in the pump “senses” the moving water 

and automatically turns the power washer on.

2.  Turn the power 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 on.
