worx power washer

hi i bought one of these power washers a while ago and trying to get it to suck up water from a bucket but for some reason it wont i have looked on line and in the manual but still cant get the water to come up through the power washer any ideas thanks

 

May be an air lock, fill the pipe with water first then connect it to the pressure washer

 

many thanks for your reply i have tried to put water through tube with no luck it seems that the motor is running but nothing happens with water coming up from bucket , this item was bought last year and it is the first time i have looked at it thanks for the advice

 

No problem
Also some pressure washers don't suck water from a bucket they have to be contected to the mains water, but if you can get a bucket or tank up high-ish then that will feed one and make sure all pipes are full, some times start up the washer and then stop it and restart it may help

 

@Gizmo, is this the battery powered Work jet wash, similar to photo?
As Jiffy said most power washers work of mains water, but this is a portable one and can work from a bucket/container.

 

many thanks for your replys yes that is the water pressure we have got that dont seems to suck up from bucket the motor runs and that is all so a bit confused why

 

Have you use it at all, it mite be worth a try , conect it to the mains if you can and try it, then try it from the bucket,

 

many thanks for all your help i have managed to get it working by following advice from jiffy thanks again

 

Well done
