Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
what a brilliant video thanks for sharing , easy to follow instruction
We're so glad you found this informative 🙂
I fixed my unloader valve by doing this. My set up is a little different though. But still good information thanks. 😁👌
You covered the basics, but not all of them, the lack of pressure could also be because the water supply has low pressure such as from a well with a small pump and tank (not city water) I noticed that when using mine at my sons home across the road from me. My pressure washer works great at my place but I seem to run out of water at his place when the water pump at the well has a low water level in the tank. You need to wait for the pump and tank to catch up so it can supply the pressure washer. The other could be that there is a kink in the garden hose
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to add some additional comments, these are greatly appreciated. This is a very old video of ours, moving forward we aim to improve our content and create more informative videos for our viewers 🙂
Brilliant ! Literally watching this video to resolve my problem and it was the hose all along thank you so much I’m back up and running strong
What where the two main areas I could understand the second issue he said unloader stem and….
technical term for stem? search on google and find nothing, wouldnt mind keeping a spare around, think it was just air this time around on our Clarke 195
Hi Nathan, thank you for your message apologies for the delayed reply I was just chasing up with our team the technical term for the 'Stem' this we refer to as the Unloader Valve - hope this helps and that you manage to find one! 🙂
Please do a gas leak video for that same pressure washer.
Excellent video and much appreciated.
Thanks for the video, very useful.
pressurewasher loses rpms when wand is engaded but still has good pressure on water sprayer what is making it lose rpms
@@KennyPatton79 any leak will immidetly drop the pressure 1000+psi
Stewart, I have a Yanmar diesel power-washer. I just went out to try it for the first time time this year, I didn't electrically start it, turned on the water first and on the inlet side it just came pouring out of the green ringed thing on the bottom before water enters pump. You have one the same in your video, am I missing something, like a screw on cap? on the end of this or it this some type of safety mechanism that overflows? Thanks Harry
Just found part of the green cap, may have busted off on the frost!
Hello Harry, thank you for your comment. Do you still need assistance with this or have you managed to sort?
Kindest regards, Spinaclean
@@Spinacleanltd Hi,
Just ordered a new green cap for inlet filter, just hope the frost hasn't damaged any internals, hopefully I'll get this in the next few days I'll give it a go. I see there is stuff called 'pump saver' for winter storage. I had in in the dry and covered, still had water supply connected to it though, that wont happen again, a good coating of WD40 wouldn't go a miss either for storage. On another note was going to add an additional 10 or 15 meters of hose to get up on roof and get around the house more, there would be a pressure drop with the longer distance? due to friction in pipe? I have an oil filled gauge with quick release, looks to be smaller the fittings on mine maybe 3/8..thanks Harry
Hi.. At 8:38 on the video.. The green cap, where could I get one from. Mine has cracked and don't know the name or can't find one anywhere.. Please help.. Thanks..
Hi there, this is a filter - unfortunately this isn't something we have in stock but you could try getting in touch with Dual Pumps, they may be able to help you!

Hi, my machine is same as this one in video. Last week my machine chemical injector worked great , first time I’ve used that part, today it didn’t siphon at atall. Any ideas why that would be. I did have a 10 m high pressure hose, but I replaced it yesterday with a different high pressure hose, could this be why. I now have a 20m hose , but no chemical came through at all

What cause the pump not to suck water
Hi Michael, is it one of our pressure washers you have - if so how long have you had it for? 🙂 there could be a range of reasons why the pump isn't sucking up water, it may be worth contacting R&S Industrial Cleaning Equipment as they carry out repairs on pressure washers - they can be found online here rsindustrialcleaningequipment.co.uk/ and are based in the UK
Thank you
Yeah
I'm sure you're telling exactly what I want to know...
...but this poor American can't understand a dang thang.
Thanks anyway.
Hi there, sorry to hear that. Due to this being quite an old video, we are working on our future videos to ensure they are much clearer in speech, and that subtitles may be added so they can easily be viewed by everybody - we will take your comments on board to ensure this doesn't happen.
Thank you, Kindest Regards, The Spinaclean Team
@@Spinacleanltd - Thanks for the nice reply.
Since you discussed some important topics with illustrations,
I went through it again several times and at 10:15 you showed
something I was not aware about. Hopefully that is my problem.
I repair small engines of many types, but a customer wanted
me to look at his pressure washer in which water would not
flow from input hose to the outlet. All pressure washers I've
seen allow water to flow from in to out, even with the
engine off, but his would not. I removed, the unloader knob
and assembly, and it looked fine, but I didn't know about
the 'shuttle'.
Again many thanks if you have a comment about this.

My Pressure Washer problem has been 'fixed'.
The problem: No water flowing thru pump with engine running.
The solution: Grab the engine governor and run the engine speed WAY up.
This caused a stuck pump valve to become free and start working.
Release the engine governor.
I did NOT do this, and do not consider it a final solution,
but somebody else did, and the owner was satisfied.
I doubt this will help anybody, but this case is now considered closed.
Best to all.

VERY BAD AUDIO PLUS HEAVY ACCENT FROM WHO KNOWS ---RONSTER
I would appreciate your advice on this please. I was using my petrol pressure on a job yesterday when suddenly my machine started aggressively jumping and down whilst washing. I quickly stopped the clean and investigated. All seemed fine. I'm no expert and still new to pressure washing so would appreciate any help here.
The machine was working hard throughout with some tough weeds for at least 6 hours. The machine was fine on low pressure rinsing down so could it
1 too much constant use?
2 the surface cleaner faulty?
3 water not getting through the pump?
4 filter needs cleaning
5 none of the above
Thank you for advice
