Thank you for the video! I was trying to figure out if it accommodated chemical use and you answered my question. I should heave watched it a month ago and saved $100, but it’s all good. Thank you again sir!
I have the same model. If I don't hold down the wand valve when starting or while it's running it stalls the engine. Does that mean the unloader valve is stuck closed? It's damned inconvenient.
I believe they say to turn water on and pull trigger to run water through the gun to make sure there is plenty of water in the pump so it doesn’t burn up. Yea might have to hold the gun while you start and then pull the trigger real quick
I did everything in the video (or at least I “think” I did) but when I started it it ended up shutting off less than a minute later & started smoking 😣 I turned it off & waiting about 30 min before trying again. Second time around it seemed to work better. I ran it a few minutes & turned it off. When I turned it off it was still smoking - but not as bad. Is this normal?
Weren't you supposed to turn the water on and release the pressure in the nozzle before starting it? Also, it says in the manual, that running it without water can damage the pressure washer by overheating it....Your video did help me though. Thanks.
You can run the motor without water. The pump only runs when you engage the trigger on the gun. Yes you need water running when you engage the trigger on the gun
@@MendandMake Running the engine without garden hose input on and all air bled out of the high pressure hose will melt down your pump. Even for 8 or 10 seconds can burn a pump. That is how I ruined one of the 5 or 6 I've owned. Maybe "without water" you mean without the gun trigger pressed.
I recently got the Simpson 3400 which is 100% the same machine except mine has the CRX 225 instead of the 210. With hard start and some rough running; Are you aware the fuel tank is only made to fill about 2/3 full? More than that can cause just those two issues according to other reviews I've seen on these CRX engine equipped washers. Thanks for the video 👍
I had no idea about that. I read the instructions but not all of them lol. lesson learned. thank you. i will not fill it that full anymore and I think I will go over all the directions to make sure I am not blowing up motors moving forward
This freaking guy made it so easy for everyone specially for people who do not know what the hell they’re doing like me lol but thank you very much. We really appreciate your hard work. Teach vote for Trump.
Just got mine on clearance for $212 what a steal! Thanks for the video.
Nice!
Can you use it to wash house sidings and porch? how about cars? any way to change PSI?
Siding for sure. Might be too powerful for car paint
There’s a Sunjo one at Sam’s that’s good for cars

I’m glad it helped out

Did you put the oil in? Hate to ask that
That’s not normal for it to smock
Definitely put the oil in it. Maybe I didn’t run it long enough before I turned it all the way to run?
@mbeasley25 maybe. I ran mine for about 1 minute then switched it to run. It just sputtered like you saw I. The video.
@mbeasley25 if it keeps doing that just take it back while you can
The manual was talking about uncovering a thermal relief valve and I couldn’t find it. So there isn’t a cover?
It says it opens on its own. Kinda like the thermal release valve on your hot water heater.
@@MendandMake ahh thank you it works great
@bigmanting1874 yes I love this machine. Let’s see if it holds up

Nice got mine. Sam’s club has it for sale for 289 great deal
Yep that’s where I got mine
209 now
200.92 now
@yaboi02811 price dropped huh
$122 today.
Couldn’t really see, but did you use chemical when cleaning your driveway? If not, it did a pretty good job without it and just water.
Yea I didn’t because the pressure pushes a lot of water and basically it goes through a gallon of your chemical like within a few minutes
@@MendandMake Oh well that’s good to know and you saved me a couple bucks from buying chemical. Thanks and good video by the way!
@Ghostmanetx glad you liked the video. More to come. Not sure if your into Milwaukee but just posted generation 4 drill and impact driver
How is it 😊On the house
I have yet to try it on the house
Check out my Sunjo video. I did more with that pressure washer and I believe it only costs $100

Always cut your water on first
For sure. Messed up
