We have a mac allister 2 pressure washer but the hose pipe keeps coming off the black connector when we turn the water on....is there a solution please?
Re: We have a mac allister 2 pressure washer but the hose...
I'm not exactly sure what's happening but maybe buy a new connector? Or just replace like an old Hose or something or you can use duck tape haha good luck Hope this helped

There are several common different types of quick release couplings in the power washer world and while it is possible you have the wrong lance and hose supplied with your washer, it is unlikely.
Many quick release couplings don't just connect by pushing but have a sleeve that must be pushed forward, pulled back or twisted or a button to be pressed. Mostly diy level washers have the lance, hose and connector as an assembly and the connector can't be replaced.
Most towns contain many businesses that use heavy duty pressure washers, vacuum cleaners, parts washers and suchlike and inevitably other businesses spring up to cater for the needs of local business providing a wide range of repairs, spare parts and accessories and they of necessity gather a wide knowledge of domestic equipment.
If you have trouble or doubts I suggest you locate such a business near you...
If the washer is the kind that shuts off completely when the pistol grip is released, the problem is likely the little pressure sensor located near the output fitting (the threaded part to which the hose connects). The sensor is a little plunger held down against an opening in the side of the pipe by a spring when there is low or no pressure in the output pipe, as when the trigger is pulled and the pressurized water in the hose is released by pulling the trigger. That completes the electrical circuit and the washer is on and continues pumping water. When the trigger is released, water in the hose and output pipe jams up super high pressure, forcing tjhe little plunger out against the spring, and the electrical circuit is broken. If you take the case apart, you will see wires coming from that area. The fix (if this is the problem) is to free up the little plunger.
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
Have the hose pipe running into a bucket/container and use another short length of hose from the pressure washer to **** the water out of the bucket, that way if the bucket is full when you start, any drops in mains pressure wont affect the pressure washer as their should always be a reservoir or water to keep constant pressure.( you may need to prime the suction hose first, just hold the 2 hoses together in the bucket of water with pressure washer on) Any questions ask If this helps please rate me
Long Fill
LF flashes when the water level does not change for a period of time after the valves are turned on OR water has disengaged
the basket but control does not detect a water level change.
• Is water supply connected and turned on?
• Are hose screens plugged?
• Is water entering the tub? If so check pressure hose connection to machine/motor control.
try running the snake from the top to the bottom. they ell pressure hose ends that you inser into the pipe on the end of a hose and when you turn the water on it weslls and applies pressure to push out whatever is in there. they cost about 8.00 and you can buy them at lowes or home depot. just tell them what you need and that it screws onto the end of a hose for unclogging backed up drains. im not sure whats its called but they will know
