Questions and answers
garden hose connector will not turn thus can not attach garden hose. How to replace garden hose connector
The document does not provide specific steps to replace the garden hose connector on a Powerhorse 157055. However, it does mention that the garden hose should be attached to the water inlet by hand-tightening only. To replace the garden hose connector, follow these general steps:
1. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the pressure washer from power.
2. Detach the garden hose from the water inlet by unscrewing it.
3. If a quick-connect assembly is used and attached in reverse, verify that the inlet adapter is connected to the washer’s water inlet and the quick-connect coupler to the garden hose.
4. Replace the damaged or incorrect connector with a proper one, ensuring it matches the water inlet size.
5. Hand-tighten the new connector securely to the water inlet.
If additional disassembly is required, use only original parts and ensure all connections are airtight.
