How do i take the pressure washer hose off so i can replace it?

f it is at the fittings for the pressure hose , replace the "O" rings
if in the hose , replace the hose
if it is any where else pull it apart and replace the "O" ring or gasket

If hose fits over a hose barb try using a hose clamp from any auto supply store Or replace the hose barb GL

There are several different configurations for these fittings. If you bought a generic replacement hose, it may have a different fitting than what is on the machine. May have to replace the fitting on the machine, or buy a hose specific to your pressure washer.

If you are replacing the hose because it burst you might contact the manufacturer. Mine, of a different brand, burst and they sent me a new pressure washer saying that it was very difficult to install a new hose. They had a lot of problems with hoses from China.

You can use a universal hose for replacement. This hose should not be under high pressure (usually inlet water hose pressure). This is a bypass that is used when you release the trigger to wand. Look closely at the brass fittings of the hose, sometimes they can be reused by removing the clamp and cutting off the rubber part. Use automotive rubber hose (suitable for hot water system/radiator )or black pressure hose from Lowes (sold bulk) that will fit snugly on the barb and use simple clamps. You can make new hose by buying barbs and hose from Lowes or hardware/plumbing store. Good luck

Hello,

The F1 error means that water pressure into the washer is out of range...the control on the washer learns the water pressure coming in from when it was brand new it is capable of learning just the water pressure to your house since it will vary from your neighbors...after it has learned what the normal pressure is if it doesnt see that normal pressure coming into the washer it will throw up the F1 error code

What to check is if water is coming into the washer from the rubber fill hoses with as much pressure as always did...things that could cause lesser pressure is; kinked/crushed fill hose,sediment built up in the filter screens inside of the water inlet valve( can be checked by turning off water and removing hoses and pop screen out from the back of washer where the hoses connect to)


If the filter screens are clear and water seems to coming from the hoses with good pressure...the washer control board would need to be replaced

Disconnect hoses.
Look for kink in water hose.
Check incoming water connection for filter washer
Replace filter washer
If you don't have a filter washer, put one in.
Hook up water, and turn on
Water should come out other side of pump.
Turn on machine.
Do you get pressured water out of pump.
If no pressure, then pump is suspect
Hook up washer hose without gun
Does pressure come out of washer hose
Finally, the gun trigger may be bad.

We had to buy guns now and then.
Search for pressure washer guns
Following link shows guns we used:

If your pressure washer works like ours, it has a T connection.
A plastic hose comes off the T and goes into the bucket of cleaner
Pressure from the hose creates suction across the T and this draws cleaner into pressure hose
The plastic hose from cleaner connects to a small brass ball valve on the T
The ball valve clogs up or changes over time and cleaner will not draw up into the pressure hose.
We would replace the valve stem
I don't know if they sell the little replacement parts like they used to

Finally we had so much trouble.
We started applying our chemical with a pump-up sprayer.
For us, it was cheaper, and the work went faster.
We put one guy on the pump up sprayer
And then another guy came behind him on the washer.

Hydraulic oil?
Is this a pressure washer?
Pump should be half full of SAE20 or SAE30 non-detergent motor oil.
Engine should have 10W30 motor oil.

If you have a pressure washer ... and not water is coming out end of gun:
Take all hoses off machine.
Look at incoming water hose connection.
The should be a filter washer.
Clean or replace filter washer.
Hook up water and turn on water.
Water should come out other side of pump.
Turn on power washer and see if water coming out of pump is pressurized.
Now hook up pressure hose without gun.
Turn on pressure washer and see if water comes out of hose and is pressurized.
Finally, the gun may be bad.
We used to replace guns when they went bad.
