recoil starter or after initial use.
3. Choke lever in the “No Choke” position.
4. Spark plug wire not attached.
5. Engine ON/OFF switch in OFF position.
6. Choke lever in the “Choke” position on
a “hot” engine or an engine that has been
exposed to thermal heat for a long period of
time.
1. Add fuel.
2. Squeeze gun trigger to relieve pressure.
3. Move choke to the “Choke” position.
4. Attach spark plug wire.
5. Place engine ON/OFF switch in ON position.
6. Move choke to the “No Choke” position.
No or low pressure (initial use)
1. High pressure nozzle is not installed.
2. Low water supply.
3. Leak at high pressure hose fitting.
4. Nozzle obstructed.
5. Water filter screen clogged.
6. Air in hose.
7. Choke lever in the “Choke” position.
8. High pressure hose is too long.
1. See How to use Spray Wand instructions in the
Operation Section.
2. Water supply must be at least 5 GPM @ 20 PSI.
3. Repair leak. Apply sealant tape if necessary.
4. See Nozzle Cleaning instructions in the Mainte-
nance section.
5. Remove and clean filter.
6. Turn off the engine, then the water source.
Disconnect the water source from the pump inlet

2. Chemical filter clogged.
3. Chemical screen not in cleaning solution.
4. Chemical too thick.
5. Pressure hose too long.
6. Chemical build up in chemical injector.
1. See How to use Spray Wand paragraph in the
Operation Section.

3. Make sure end of chemical hose is fully sub-
merged into cleaning solution.
4. Dilute chemical. Chemical should be in the
same consistency as water.
5. Lengthen water supply hose instead of high
pressure hose.
6. Have parts cleaned or replaced by AWSC.
No or low pressure (after period
of normal use)
1. Worn seal or packing.
2. Worn or obstructed valves.
3. Warn unloaded piston.
