UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust kzfaq.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.

+AwakeDude911 Just remember to get the water out so it doesn't freeze during the winter, the water or ice will crack the pump, Briggs sells a spray you can hook on to where the garden hose goes and spray it in the pump to protect it.

These particular units can be finicky. I have the Honda engine with the brass pump housing, used it a total of three times. Last year it would chug and eventually refuse to run with the choke off. This season I decided to fix it and today wound up replacing the entire carb, they are so cheap it's worth it. It now runs great but then I had no pressure! I checked the hose, made sure I had decent water feed, then took off the wand hose and sure enough, no water or very little water. I looked up the entire pump price and they are over $90! By that time, I was ready to drag it into the backyard and put some holes in it. Then I found this video. In literally 10 minutes I had the "unloader" out, freed up the pin, soaked it in parts cleaner, greased the fittings and installed. I have good pressure and will order and "unloader" as a backup in case I need it. So after all this I realized two things: 1) I need to be more patient and look at a problem from more than one angle 2) I need to keep visiting youtube for incredibly helpful videos such as yours..............I owe you one guys...thanks!!

Hi I have one of these with a pressure issue. I have some water leaks on the quick couplings on the pressure side. On closer inspection the O rings on 2 of the connectors are missing. I lent it to a mate about 4 months ago and looks like he blew the O rings out and didn't replace them. I did pull the unloading valve out and checked it and that's fine. I also had to clean the garbage out of the hose connector screen as I'm thinking he hooked his hose up with out flushing the crap out of his hose first. Lesson learned. Don't lend stuff to mates!!

@danielborth7753 Жыл бұрын

I like to know if we can adjust the unloader valve

@thewarrantycenter 9 жыл бұрын

We have had some questions on adjusting the nut under the black plastic cover to get more pressure, If you tighten the lock nut under the black plastic cap not enough you will loose pressure, if you tighten it too much it will not go into bypass and may stall the engine. The unloader is basically a valve that opens when the water has no place to go, when you squeeze the trigger on the gun the valve closes and water follows under pressure. Remember its important not to let the engine run for more than 2 minutes without squeezing the trigger to let water flow because the water in the pump will boil and melt the plactic check valves.

@algorel4763 7 жыл бұрын

thewarrantycenter Is this water boiling common with most pumps, or just this one? I bet most people are unaware of this possibility. Remember, guys don't read operators manuals, lol.
