PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Loss of solution pump
pressure.
With the cleaning tool
open, the solution
pressure gauge reads
below the normal
operating pressure.
Water supply is turned off or the float
valve is stuck or improperly adjusted.
Turn the water supply on or up. Check for
kinks in the water supply hose. Examine the
float valve and adjust or replace.
Solution pump inlet supply line is
plugged or drawing air.

water box. Remove accumulated debris and
replace if required. Check for suction leaks
and loose clamps or fittings. Tighten any loose
fittings or clamps. Replace any ruptured
hose(s).
Improper engine speed
Using a tachometer, check the engine speed.
Full throttle engine speed is 3200 RPM. Idle
engine speed is 1400 RPM. Refer to the
“engine speed” section for instructions on how
to re-adjust.
Pressure regulator o-ring is dry.
Lubricate o-ring, using o-ring lubricant Part
#86265430.
Pressure regulator has worn o-ring Check o-ring. If necessary, replace.
Pressure regulator is dirty, stuck open,
or improperly adjusted.
Clean or repair regulator. Adjust to working
pressure. Lubricate o-ring, using o-ring
lubricant Part #86265430.
Low pump volume. (Measure the
amount of water being returned to the
water box from the pressure regulator. It
