Troubleshooting
Pressure washer not starting
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in, the water supply is on, and the safety lock on the trigger is disengaged. Check the RCD/fuse if applicable.
Low pressure or pulsing spray
Check for kinks in the hose, ensure the water filter is clean, and verify that the water supply is adequate. Air in the system can also cause this; try bleeding the air by running water through the hose before starting the motor.
Water leaking from connections
Ensure all hose connections are securely tightened. Check O-rings and seals for damage and replace if necessary.
