Before I send mine back as dead on arrival- there’s nothing that needs to be removed/switched etc before use is there? Charged battery, connected hose and lance, can hear the motor, but there’s no action. Can’t feel any suction at the bottom or pressure at the top, no water being sucked in the hose.
Any thoughts?
Make sure the orange hose attachment fitting is tight on the washer unit.
If it’s not fully tight it’ll struggle to self prime if you’re sucking water up with it.
Mine arrived today – there is a card with it that says for first use or after long-term storage, attach hose to tap and make sure water is going through hose with machine turned on. Says do not start working until the water goes up along the hose and sprays out.
Either someones nicked it or they went low/out of stock and are making excuses.
I’ve had this a few times and it’s always arrived next day or later the same. Its been ticked off by the driver as delivered but hasn’t actually been. I assume its either completely accidental or its about hitting delivery rates and things. I wouldn’t worry.
Yeah, aware we don’t RTFM, but was just pointing out there is a note (with mine) that says to attach to tap for first use.
<span style=”font-size: 0.8rem;”>Checked all the packaging, but no card with mine (was the full kit), had already resorted to RTFM, but no mention of having to prime it in the ‘not working properly section. </span>
