8 Troubleshooting
Fault
Pressure drop
Pressure fluctuations
The motor does not start when
the cleaner is switched on
Cause
> Air in the system
> High-pressure nozzle
blocked/worn
> Pressure control on the
spray pipe is not set
correctly.
> Pump draws in air (only
possible in suction mode)
> Lack of water
> Water inlet hose is too long
or its cross-section too small
> Lack of water caused by
blocked water filter
> Lack of water because max.
permissible suction height
has not been heeded
> The plug is not inserted
properly, i.e. there is no
current
> The mains fuse is switched
off
Remedy
•
Vent the system by operating
the spray gun several times
at short intervals. If
necessary, operate the
cleaner for a short time
without the high-pressure
hose connected
•
Clean/replace the high-
pressure nozzle
•
Set the required working
pressure
•
Check that the suction set is
air-tight
•
Open the tap
•
Use specified water inlet
hose
•
Clean the water filter in the
water connection (never
work without water filter)
•
See instructions
•
Check the plug, lead and
switch and if necessary have
them replaced by a trained
electrician
•
Switch on the mains fuse
