CHECK SPRAY WAND AND PRESSURE NOZZLES
A pulsing sensation felt when squeezing the trigger indicates either the
spray wand or the pressure nozzle is partially clogged and is causing
pressure to build in the pump.
1. Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply. Then release the
pressure in the pump system by aiming the spray gun in a safe
direction and squeezing the trigger.
2. Remove the spray nozzle from end of spray gun wand.
3. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material clogging or
restricting the spray nozzle.
4. Disconnect the spray gun wand and check for foreign material that
may clog the tube.
5. Remove additional debris by back flushing water through the spray
gun wand using a garden hose.
6. Reinstall spray nozzle into spray gun wand.
7. Reconnect spray gun wand to spray gun.
8. Make sure the garden hose is connected to the pump’s water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump. Turn on the water.
9. Start engine following instructions How to Start Your Pressure Washer
10. Test the pressure washer with each of the five spray nozzles to
ensure they are all unclogged.
REPAIRING LEAKING CONNECTIONS
WARNING! Do not use thread-seal tape or liquid to prevent leaks
in the high pressure hose. This can cause a high pressure leak
that can result in a serious injury or injection injury.
