Good morning all.
I recently bought a Kraft Stahl 3800 psi cold water washer with a 5.5. Hp 4 stroke engine and - with a set of exchangeable nozzles it went well for a few weeks. I did look for a source of advice/spares/etc. but it is Chinese and I hoped it would have a long life, - like so many items I have. I do h ave a very basic sheet, but it was second hand and pretty cheap.
To start it I have to tie a bit of string round the trigger, as it is not p ossible to pull the cord against a closed tap. I an not happy with this ar rangement as the gun, - unless wedged somewhere tends to fly around squirti ng everything!
I was using it to clean out the troughing on a roof and came down the ladde r after wedging it, but the string came undone and for some time it was run ning against the now-closed trigger. When I tried to continue I found that the pressure was now very low and un-useable. I thought maybe the inlet f ilter had got blocked as the motor was running fine and did not seem to be labouring, but it was all clean. The compressor is quite small and I am te mpted to dismantle it all to see what has gone wrong. There is no chance of any warrantee either.
Has anyone had a similar problem, or got the exploded diagram or some form of manual, before I start undoing all the allen screws to get it apart. The re is no sign of any input filter.
Any comments welcome as, apart from a few complaints, it has been a very us eful addition to my equipment.
Thanks and regards George.
