Safety: Stop the motor, unplug from a dry outlet, shut off the water, point the gun safely away from people and squeeze the trigger to release trapped pressure before removing a tip, filter or hose. Never run the pump without flowing inlet water or place any body part in the spray.

01
Machine runs but spray weak after connecting a hose
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Shut off washer, unplug/GFCI off, relieve pressure with trigger.
- Clean inlet screen and ensure faucet fully open with unrestricted water supply, then purge trapped air by squeezing trigger with MOTOR OFF before restart.
How to tell it is fixed: Solid unbroken garden-hose stream first, then stable pressured jet at nozzle.
02
Strong water supply but only one nozzle sprays weakly
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Remove blocked nozzle and clean or replace it using approved nozzle-cleaning tool with machine depressurized.
- Test a correctly installed alternate compatible nozzle.
How to tell it is fixed: Pressure returns on clean nozzle without surging.
03
Pressure stays poor at every tip despite clear feed
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Check worn O-ring at high-pressure hose and leaks at gun connections.
- Persistent pump/unloader internal failure needs exact GPW2300 service rather than unauthorized adjustment.
How to tell it is fixed: Machine reaches pressure and maintains without hose/gun leakage.
