Fault |
| Cause | Correction |
Machine will not start | A fuse has blown | Change the fuse | |
|
| Power/plug not connected | Connect power/plug |
|
| Thermal switch in motor | Let the motor cool. Start the machine and |
|
| activated | check that the working pressure is |
|
|
| not too high and that the mains voltage |
|
|
| corresponds to the specifications. |
| Thermal switch in water tank | Let the water cool and check that the inlet | |
|
|
| water temp does not exceed 160°F. |
Machine stops shortly | Wrong supply voltage | Check that the supply voltage corresponds | |
after the start |
|
| to the specifications on the model tag |
|
|
| (see section 1.1). |
|
| Air in the system | Vent the system (see section 3.4). |
Fuses blow |
| Supply is inadequate | Correct the installation so it corresponds to |
|
| for the ampere | the ampere consumption of the machine |
|
| consumption of the machine | at a minimum. Change fuse. |
Working pressure | Nozzle partly clogged | Clear nozzle (see section 6.4) | |
too high |
|
|
|
Working pressure too low | High pressure cock by outlet | Close all high pressure cocks not in use. | |
|
| point not completely closed |
|
| Water regulation valve not | Completely open the water regulation valve. | |
|
| set at max pressure | Turn in the direction of the indicator. |
| Wrong MULTIPRESSURE | Check whether the total water volume of the | |
|
| spray lance | spray lances in use exceeds the capacity of |
|
|
| the system. If necessary, change to other |
Pressure fluctuating |
|
| spray lances. |
| High pressure hoses too | Detach high pressure extension hoses and | |
|
| long | (machine vibrates) retry. Extension hose |
|
|
| max. 160 ft. Avoid long extension hoses |
|
|
| with many couplings. |
|
| Air in the system | Vent the system (see section 3.4) |
|
| Water inlet screen clogged | Clean the screen (see section 6.3) |
No working pressure | Nozzle clogged | Clear the nozzle (see sec. 6.4) | |
|
| No inlet water | Check that the |
|
|
| supply is open. Check that the water supply |
|
|
| is adequate (see section 1.2). |
|
| High pressure cock of | Close all high pressure cocks not in use. |
|
| outlet point is open |
|
Water volume too | Water regulation valve not | Open water regulation valve completely. | |
low |
| set properly | Turn completely open in the direction of the |
|
|
| indicator. |
| Nozzle partly blocked | Clear the nozzle (see section 6.4). |
