Pressure Washer Problems?

Metisse

I have a Husky (gas) 2600 psi HU807720. It was working fine and then the next day I went to use it again and as soon as I turned it on, I had pressure for about 10 seconds then it went off and the Thermal Release Valve starts spraying out water and that was the end of pressure washing. What does this mean? I cannot locate a repair manual online and my basic owners manual is worthless. I am getting proper pressure from the faucet, the motor runs and initially the pressure loads. I talked my husband into letting me take off all of the little valves that we could locate but noting was blocked. I have thought it could be the pump but it does get pressure for a few seconds. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated?

Answer
Take the tip of the sprayer off and run it that way to see if you get a steady stream with the trigger pulled when starting it up. Release the trigger and then try again to see if the same stream comes out. If when you release the trigger and pull again and no pressure the relief valve is bad or something is stuck in it. Other issue is the nozzle was clogged and blow back into it. If the steam stays good while cycling the trigger you had something stuck in the hose that was clogging the nozzle.

How do you clean a metal roof?

kmisa

I have an industrial size pressure washer (the kind that has to be hauled on a trailer). We have only had the metal roof for about 1 1/2 year and I am afraid of damaging it with the pressure washer. What chemicals should I use and is there anything natural that can be used?

Answer
Hire a professional to avoid chemical and water damage to your home. The money spent for a professional will outweigh what you could end up with in repairs!

How to repair a Karcher HDS 500 steam pressure washer or manuals?

kathyannag

I purchased a HDS 500 pressure washer that I believe burns diesel. I plug it in and the motor that pumps the water seems to blast at the first pull of the handle then slows alittle and I dont know how the igniter works to light the diesel, its 110 volt, I cant find anyone who works on these in my area. Springfield Missouri, anyone HELP!

Answer
Karcher is a good name brand. Go online to their website and on the contact us tell them what you need. Many that I have seen run on propane, but if you think it suns on diesel, then you would be better off getting Kerosene. It burns a lot cleaner. My neighbor cleans professionally and he has a big propane tank in the back of his truck that he uses to heat the water. I worked for a propane company and the ones we had run on propane too. If you have a tank on it though and are having problems with it igniting then I would change to kerosene. I write to many companies and I don't have trouble getting help from them or manuals.

Is it okay to use bleach in a pressure washer?

pressure washer repair image

mmiller751

I'm going to pressure wash my house before painting it. Someone told me not to run bleach through my pressure washer. I'm thinking of using a deck sprayer to spray on the bleach/water mixture to clean the exterior of the house if it's not a good idea to run the bleach through the pressure washer. What say you?

Answer
I am a 37 year experienced painter and pressure wash every exterior I do.. I also repair airless sprayers,pressure washers,compressors etcetera...A pressure washer has a solvent tube on it for mixing/applying your cleaning agents or they simply have the black tip to attach that is a solvent tip..or the cheaper ones have a twisting adjusting nozzle on them that when in the fullest open mode applies the solvents...I have ALWAYS used bleach in my pressure washers for over 25 years and it does no harm at all..if the washer has the soolvent tube on it simply put it in the bottle of bleach and when you attach the black tip on the wand it will dispense it accordingly...when you change the tip after bleaching to a washing tip..it will stop dispensing it..I actually use the 12%m chlorine I buy from a swimming pool place in mine and not the 5% in common stores...This is over twice the strength of common bleach, and it has not harmed a pressure washer as of yet...The important part is flushing the washer out and dispensing tube of the bleach after using..IT WILL NOT HARM THE PRESSURE WASHER...
