Problem Cause Correction
Unit has following problems: failure toproduce pressure, erratic pressure, chattering, loss of pressure, low watervolume.
1. Low pressure spray tip installed.2. Water inlet is blocked.3. Inadequate water supply.4. Inlet hose is kinked or leaking.5. Clogged inlet hose screen.6. Water supply is over 100°F (38°C).7. High pressure hose is blocked or leaks.8. Spray gun leaks.9. Spray tip is obstructed.10. Pump is faulty.
1. Replace with high pressure spray tip.2. Clear inlet.3. Provide adequate water flow.4. Straighten inlet hose, patch leak.5. Check and clean inlet hose screen.6. Provide cooler water supply.7. Clear blocks in outlet hose.8. Replace spray gun.9. Clean spray tip.10. Contact local service facility.
Detergent fails to mix with spray.
1. Detergent siphoning tube is not submerged.
2. Detergent siphoning tube/filter is clogged or cracked.3. High pressure spray tip installed.
1. Insert detergent siphoning tube into detergent.2. Clean or replace filter/detergent siphoning tube.3. Replace with low pressure spray tip.
Engine lacks power. 1. Dirty air filter. 1. Replace air filter.
Engine will not start 1. Throttle lever on/off switch in OFF position2. No fuel in engine 3. Worn fouled or dirty spark plug
4. Pressure build up in pump
1. Turn throttle lever to ON position
2. Fill fuel tank or turn on fuel supply3. Replace with factory recommended spark plug4. Squeeze trigger on spray wand (refer to operating instructions in ownerâs manual)
Units with Oil Alert Engine not level orEngine oil level too low
Place engine on level surface orFill crankcases with SAE 10W30 oil (refer to engine manufacturers instruction manual)
Engine runs well at no load but âbogsâ down under full load
1. Engine speed is too slow 1. Adjust Throttle Lever back to full throttle.

troubleshooting
Engine will not start; or starts and runs rough
1. Low oil level 2. Dirty air cleaner 3. Out of gasoline4. Stale gasoline 5. Spark plug wire not connected to spark plug6. Bad spark plug7. Water in gasoline8. Over-choking
1. Fill crankcase to proper level2. Clean or replace air cleaner3. Fill fuel tank4. Drain gas tank, fill with fresh fuel5. Connect wire to spark plug6. Replace spark plug7. Drain gas tank, fill with fresh fuel8. Open choke fully and crank engine
Engine shuts down during operation
1. Out of gasoline2. Low oil level
1. Fill fuel tank 2. Fill crankcase with oil, to proper level
Engine lacks power 1. Dirty air filter 1. Replace air filter
Engine âputtsâ or falters 1. Choke is opened too soon 1. Move choke to halfway position until engine runs smoothly * All engine servicing to be taken to manufacturerâs authorized service outlet
Problem Causes Correction
Motor will not start and there is nohumming sound
1. Not plugged in2. âRESETâ button on GFCI not pushed3. Circuit breaker has tripped or fuse is blown
1. Plug in 2. Push âRESETâ button 3. Reset breaker or replace fuse
Power source circuit continues to trip or blow fuses
1. Too much load already on circuit
2. Extension cord is too long or of improper gauge, causing voltage drop3. Pump is stuck due to dirt, mineral build up, or ice 4. Motor malfunction
1. Reduce load on circuit and try another compatible amp circuit2. See section on extension cords
3. Unplug unit. If temp. is below freezing do not use. Thaw in warm area. 4. Take it to your closest Baldor dealer for servicing * All motor servicing to be taken to manufacturerâs authorized service outlets

Problem Causes Correction
No low pressure detergent delivery
1. Using wrong nozzle 2. Siphon hose or filter is plugged
1. Insert black soaper nozzle2. Unplug siphon hose
Unit does not reach required pressure
1. Restricted or insufficient water supply
2. Unsuitable or worn out nozzle3. Regulator set too low
1. Check supply hose, faucet and inlet water filter. Must be connected to water source which provides 6GPM2. Replace nozzle3. Reset unloader by turning knob (clockwise increases pressure)
Thermal Relief Valve is open and discharging water from side of pump
1. Water temperature is too high2. Pump has operated more than 3 mins without pulling trigger
1. Use cool water only.2. Pull trigger at least 30 seconds every 3 mins
Leak in the fittings 1. Water leak in high pressure fittings, hose or gun
1. Use teflon tape or pipe sealant to tighten hose fitting, replace hose or gun**If problem continues, take to your pressure washer dealer
Pump oil is low? 1. Normal use consumes oil over time 1. To gauge the oil level, look directly into the sight glass. Oil level should always be at the center dot. Do not overfill replace w/30W non detergent mineral oil
Oil is milky color 1. Seals have worn from us and water has leaked in
1. Bring Unit local service center to have seals replaced
