Frequently Asked Questions - Campbell Hausfeld PW1625 Operating Instructions Manual

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I have any water pressure?
• Is the water hose attached to the pressure washer?
• Is the water turned on?
• Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the hoses, fittings, or the nozzle.
• Confirm that Lance is not adjusted to the Soap position – for PW1825 and
PW1835 only – see Figure 2.
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and remove debris if needed.
how do I get high pressure?
• Rotate pressure collar on lance toward the "+" symbol to increase pressure.
Rotating toward the "-" will allow you to dispense soap.
Why doesn't the pressure washer apply detergents with high pressure?
Detergents "bounce" off cleaning surfaces as fast as they are applied. The pressure
washer's features allow for a detergent to be drawn while in low pressure mode only.
By applying detergent at low pressure, the effect of "bouncing" is reduced. Also,
detergents are only effective when time is allowed for them to work on the surface
of whatever is being cleaned. After applying the detergent, wait 1-3 minutes while it
works, and then proceed to rinse the surface with high pressure.
What maintenance do I need to perform on my pressure washer?
1. After turning off the pressure washer and the water, depressurize the hose by
triggering the gun.
2. Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose from the pump.
3. Turn the motor on for 5 seconds to purge water from the pump. This will help
protect the pump from damage.
4. Do not store your pressure washer in an area where the temperature will drop
below 32˚ F.
5. Follow proper storage and winterizing instructions found on page 14.
