I have this machine and use it for commercial use but on residential homes I also bought a wirl-a-way 20 inch surface washer to do roofs and driveways and this machine starts on first pull Everytime haven't changed oils yet but gonna do in next day or so excellent machine about to upgrade to bigger and better equipment though since I'm doing a roof a day now have to get a bigger engine with a 4400 psi 10 gpm pump for surface washer to clean in one pass instead of 2 or 3 passes using this 2.5 gpm pump I've read the more gpm will clean with one pass and can move a lot quicker instead of walking slow so the water could clean as you make a pass I recommend using a smaller surface cleaner like a 16 inch for this machine but since I'm doing roofs and driveways everyday I definitely need a bigger machine with more gpm and I'll be able to upgrade to a bigger surface cleaner as well possibly a 40 to 50 inch surface cleaner but for your review this machine is really good machine I am extremely satisfied with it and will still use this machine even after I upgrade just so I can move up to doing 2-3 roofs a day with the upgrades machine I'll be able to run 2 hoses off pump which will drop gpm down to half and half about 5gpm each hose and will be able to use DeWalt washer with it's single hose to get jobs done quicker

Hmm you said your machine runs an hour and half to 2 hours per tank mine runs 2 n half hours on full tank I'm able to get half a roof washed with 20 surface washer on a barrel tile roof and the surface washer can be level whole time and won't break and tiles on a flat tile roof coated with paint or elastomeric roof coating I can pressure wash whole roof on one tank of gas

Your welcome!

Awesome!

WorkshopAddict Now today it won’t stay running. It keeps shutting off. I was thinking it’s the fuel filter but I can’t find it and the manual is useless, lol. The gas cap vent isn’t clogged as I did check that. Any idea where the fuel filter is?

How'd it work out with the foam cannon? Going to be doing the same thing.

Are the rubber feet on the rear near the handle worn out or not installed? They should keep it from moving.

The manual recommends the use of E0, E5, E5 or E10 and says no E15 or E85. E stands for Ethanol and the number after it is the percentage of ethanol in the fuel. So, it depends on the state you are in as to what your normal fuel is. IMHO, use your normal car fuel, but treat each tank with stabil 360 and you will be fine.

Common Honda issue as a bit of gas fumes sneak past a slightly open intake and exhaust valve and ignite in the exhaust. nothing to worry about.

There is a barb on the pump.

Bryan Medley when i by this Now i am in India

Taylor Albaugh Think of it this way, the psi is the amount you can clean and the gpm is the speed at which you can clean it. The higher the psi the better it will clean, but can tear things apart easier. The more gallons per minute means you can move the wand faster and clean more faster.

I cannot recommend good chemicals for brick. I believe there are many types and you would want to consult you local brick retailer. To get to higher spots, most use a ladder. That sucks! A Skytrack would be the best, but would beat up the lawn. In some cases scaffolding would work best.

I use Valvoline Racing motor in all of my small engines because there is not catalectic converter and the oil has a very high zinc rating. The pump, I would run Rotella T 5W40.

Yes, both in RPM (Throttle) on the motor and with a dial on the pump.

Nice i just got the 3600 psi one todays

@@WorkshopAddict im looking at a 3100 psi dewalt. It says dewalt on the engine and not honda. Its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the 3300 psi would you say this would be a good buy?

+rafivan39 Hello. I'm not sure what the issue actually is. Here is a link to the owner's manual that should be able to walk you through the process. I got the manual off of the Home Depot site, just in case you need to find it again. www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/8f/8fac914d-e0d8-4150-a946-286c8ebfaa5f.pdf

+WorkshopAddict Thank you so much!

It is holding up awesome. If you want more power now, return it while you still can and buy the 4,000 psi model. You can dial that one down and it will still give you the extra power you want when you need it.

Do they sale this at Home Depot?

@@BoBPrivateSecurity1 It's now this one. www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-3600-PSI-at-2-5-GPM-HONDA-GX200-with-AAA-Triplex-Pump-Cold-Water-Professional-Gas-Pressure-Washer-DXPW3625/310092072

+Carlos Osorio At this point, no, but we will look into it.

Sweet! Thank you

Are you using the soap tip?

Remove the tip altogether and then let the water flow until you see it pulling the soap into the unit. Or as Work addict said, use the soap tip.

you think it's water pressure that it is making it hard to pull start? If so, hold the wand open when you start the motor.

Amazon is your best bet. Here is a nice one. amzn.to/2KBdBuI

The hose that I have for this washer pressure is like a screw on type

I have been looking everywhere for one

@@Vladtheimpaler99 Sorry, this pressure washer is licensed by Dewalt from Simpson. Here is the hose. amzn.to/2RiYXec

I cant start my new 3600psi, did you have the same problem

Yes, it will work great for washing a vehicle and even running a foam cannon.

WorkshopAddict thank you! I was debating whether I should get the Dewalt or something less powerful. Dewalt it is!!!!

+Sierra Milano Yes, if you use a different tip than the zero degree you reduce the pressure.

Sierra Milano I used EZ clean surface cleaner. w dewalt 4200 psi turn throttle down.psi

choprpilot76 you can by adjusting the rpm on the motor.

Yes. Both with the type of nozzle adapter you use (both spray and pressure at orifice is impacted), but you can also use the black pressure adjustment on the AAA itself to reduce or increase (not sure what the low end is, maybe 1/2, or 1700 PSI) the pressure of the pump.

Does your model have a throttle on the engine that you have to increase rpm manually? Is the unit warmed up, meaning did it idle for about a minute? Is the air filter clean and not full of oil?

The motor has 2, on on the left and one on the right, correct? That motor is used on a lot of different pieces of equipment so they make it fairly universal. Either dip stick should tell you the correct oil level is the machine is sitting level.

i just found a video because of that reason, the one on the left is to check the oil the one on the right is to fill it. if you chose to use that one its all going to the same place

keep the oil changed in the motor and pump! other than that, it's a great small unit for commercial use. Just take care of it and don't abuse it.

Armando Silva buy a rotating stripping nozzle to strip wooden fences and staining them. Good money there pimp. Good luck

Unit was completely off as well, bad design on my 5 gal gas tank which caused gas to splash on exhaust

Also, exhaust should not be located so close to tank fill

Do you have it locked? Pull up, then turn.

@@WorkshopAddictIt is brand new. Just got it yesterday and is the same way it came out of the box. Just won"t turn neither side. What do you mean by pull up?

@@edwincordero8 I moved up to the 4200 psi and I have not used it for a few months since it is winter. I believe that know locks in place so it does not loosen up when running. So pull out or up on the knob, then turn.

@@WorkshopAddict ok. Will try that. Will let you know results. Many many thanks.

@@WorkshopAddict The knob on my pressure washer is horizontal. Washer on the knob won't turn. Washer off and pressure released, the knob won't turn . Won't pull out. Just won't move. I'm out of options.😫

Yes. It does well with a foam cannon.

Do you use pump saver when you store it for a while? It sounds like the pump relief valve could be sticking and the engine is not able to use all the fuel when it loses the load from the pump quickly.

@@WorkshopAddict I just bought it. It doesn't do the bang sound all the time. I didn't applied ethanol shield could that be reason too.?

@@alemanivan3 No, it is just extra fuel probably firing in the exhaust.

4.

No, it has a manual throttle that you move up and down.

Do you like and are you still happy?

Yes am happy wt my power washer ,works very wL

Tunji Olasupo Make sure your tip on the wand is fully inserted. You should hear air coming out. If you hear air coming out, you can start the unit at an idle and hold the wand open to try to purge faster, but if you do not get water out in less than a minute turn it off. My bet is that a tip is not inserted properly.

It has a low oil level cut off. Should be 3/4 up the dipstick without screwing it in.

Ashley Corleto That’s the thermal relief; when the pump starts overheating from leaving it run without spraying, it will blow out that valve to keep the pump from burning up.

Yes, with the zero degree tip or using it too close with other tips could easily damage something.

Yes, that goes in the crankcase!!!!

@@WorkshopAddict Thanks!

I would if you want to ever be able to make it run 🤔 but I am sure you will get a operation instructions manual and I would really read it u never know when you're supposed to remove a bolt or something like that for shipping purpose but it's just a page or two before you go wasting hard earned money just follow the instructions to start up and I even got a copy of the thing and I got mine used and it was maybe used for a few days but it is not showing wear to the driver but I don't recommend just anyone to open up the pump for this model is a single but it's just a matter of what falling out must go back in the correct order but I just wanted to make sure that it was lubed up after knowing that it was sitting for at least six months and a few minutes and I was like why didn't you get one of these years ago and it would be great if you have mobile homes and not trying to make the siding look like it was shot at I have always had a biggest pressure washer available and if you don't need as much change the Damm nozzle but it's still a good 150+ lbs of machine and then you have hoses for the pressure side and the water and anyone who has ever had to do a few story building you are going to need to take it all because you can't have too much but I have to make an adapter for use of my quick connect hoses and wands with the screw on hose but I made a rinse wand with a wand end that you can twist it up and down works great like a water broom and I have been in the roadside piles of junk all my life and I have found about one of everything that didn't need anything but a new owner and took five minutes to get it home and not even half that to get it running and I still have that new Troy built generator please don't think that just because you have it covered that condensation is not going to be able to get in the gas especially since you have a gallon of water for every 10 gallons of fuel look it says that it is 10 % ethanol I don't think people realize how much you can do to inside of your lawnmower and other things you ask the guys who have commercial use they get the ethanol free fuel and I don't care if you don't want to use mower till next year it's going to run if you use the ethanol free fuel and regular fuel is breaking down in a few weeks not like the old days when you get a old car and start with the same fuel in it now if you know that it's been sitting just save yourself a lot of time and effort to get all the stuff in the tank out not trying to get it into the fuel injection too or carburator if you have a pre injection vehicle but up north deicer in fuel is just alcohol and if you have a bit of water and draining it isn't a option but you can add denatured alcohol and it will take care of the water 👍

Did you turn on the fuel so fuel can get to the carburetor?

Yes and the red button to on and I pull like 30 times and I turn on the show and off and it wouldn't start

I also connected the water and bleed the line and had the water on

Are you getting it to sputter at all, like you are getting spark and fuel in the motor?

The engine oil is supposed to come right at the treads of the dip stick, if you don't have enough oil in it, the engine has a low oil shutdown and won't start.

remove the soap hose from the pump and visually check for.a blockage there. If none, check the hose to the tank for blockage. If there is no soap buildup, then make sure you are using the correct tip on the wand and blow into the hose to try so see if it will accept air. It should pull air. Sometimes it works good to let them soak in simple green to remove the soap residue in the pump if it is still not working.

yes, as long as it does not have to pull the water. The water would need to flow to the pressure washer on its own.

WorkshopAddict what if it’s you replace the pump with a belt drivin one?

Aha!! I see!!

There is a hose that you put into your own separate soap container. Most commercial ones are like this so you can change from soap to cleaner to other items without draining the on board container. It makes it easier and you just buy the detergents needed and store them in their container.

I agree with you. He should begin his video on prepping steps. ie how to work the choke, gas lever, on the switch... Not impressed.

Yes, No issue. Do not use the zero degrees tip, use the 25-degree tip and stay back a bit. If it is too much pressure, reduce the throttle.. We use it for cars and side by sides all the time.

Love2boat92 Think about it...when you’re walking with it, the handle ends up being the perfect height. If the handle was any higher at rest, you’d be dragging its feet everywhere.

how many hours will it be used a week and how many hours do you think it'll be used a year in total?

+WorkshopAddict I dont really know..but I guess around 20hrs a week?

+Coogi King The Dewalt you listed will be good. Look for a commercial rated motor. If you can find one with an oil filter that would be best. Not many out there though. You want a horizontal pump that you can change oil in.

So if you use normal fuel from the pump where you fill your car, it has ethanol in it. That is very hard on parts in the carburator and can clog up the jets in small engines. Not using the pressure washer and not using a fuel stabilzer will cause issue like a no start because the idle jet will quickly clog up. Not Dewalt's fault.

WorkshopAddict my friend can you help me i have the same with that but i don't know is new never used but i put gas and not start..

WorkshopAddict yes i put regular fuel

WorkshopAddict i have put 10% ithanol but where i buy that

WorkshopAddict i put de same to may car

+Question Mark ........ Just realized how many videos out with people wearing sandals or flip flops using pressure washers. Wow

Question Mark mind you plate! This video isn't about proper footwear

Robb brush jr. It's not but if you get distracted and take your mind off of it for even a tenth of a second then you can kiss a good chunk of your foot and your toes goodbye. So one should definitely wear the proper footwear.

Question Mark Was thinking the same thing, there's a funny (here hold my beer) joke somewhere in there.

But he ain't pressure washing, he's showing the product.
