has been disconnected or clogged.
Circuit overload
Extension cord too long or wire
gauge too small
Nozzle partially blocked
Excessive pressure

normal
Machine Inlet connection is
defective
SOLUTION
Remove the soap lance assembly from the
detergent bottle. Make sure that the clear tube
is properly connected to the soap lance. If it is
not connected then reconnect it.
Your Powerwasher draws detergent at a 10:1 ratio.
Most pressure washer detergents are generally
concentrated within that range so minimal
adjustment is required.
If you feel like you are using more detergent than
is required for the application you can dilute it with
regular tap water.
We recommend that you use a cleaner which is
specifically designed for power washers. There
are different kinds available depending on the
application. Check with your local Home Depot
store for the product which is best suited for your
needs.
Never use Bleach, Ammonia or Hot
water in the unit.
Check that the circuit is rated at 15 amps or
greater. Make sure the unit is plugged into a
dedicated circuit.
Use proper extension cord as recommended in
owner's manual.
Clean Nozzle as instructed in section 6.2.
