SOLUTION
Clean the nozzle according to the instructions

Maintenance section of this manual.
Remove the filter screen (O) from the water
inlet (M) and clean it thoroughly. Replace the
filter screen.
Use a maximum garden hose length of
50 ft. (15.2 m) (city water) or 25 ft. (7.5 m)
(well water). Ensure the garden hose is laid
out flat and does not have any kinks or
leaks. Unwrap garden hose from reel or
hook (if applicable). Replace garden hose if
necessary.
Release safety lock according to instructions
provided in the Starting paragraph under
Operation in this manual.
Verify that the On/Off Switch (I) is fully
engaged in the ON position.
Confirm the GFCI plug is reset and functioning
according to instructions provided in Ground-
Fault
Circuit
paragraph under Power Supply & Electrical
info in this manual.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords with your pressure washer. If you
must use an extension cord, verify that it
meets the minimum requirements listed in the
Extension Cord paragraph under the Power
Supply & Electrical Info in this manual.
Clean the nozzle according to the instructions
provided in the Nozzle paragraph under
Maintenance section of this manual.
Turn unit OFF, disconnect incoming water
from unit, and remove the gun and hose
assembly. Aim pressure washer away from
the electrical outlet, reconnect incoming
water, and switch the unit into the ON
position. If the motor starts and water flows
steadily out of the front (and you have
verified that the nozzle is not clogged), the
spray gun may be malfunctioning and need
to be replaced. Please contact our customer
service department at www.power-washer.
