[@heatherlastohkein8146]

Thank you, this helped so much

[@themanlyacademy]

Excellent vid. Thanks!

[@fd4340]

My spray tip seems to be an adjustable one and doesn’t come off, is this possible?

[@JJakeIngram]

Nice and very helpful video. Thanks!

[@scotteisenman819]

What is the ratio that it applies detergent? water/detergent

[@jebsails2837]

Do not try and transport on the attached wheel system over the lawn. When tilted back to move. the ground clearance is insufficient and the detergent / rinse agent tank valves tear off the tanks. It's easier jack up the house and turn it around. A great unit for all round cleaning. Narragansett Bay.

[@wadisboxton3405]

I cracked it up before I turned the water on , once I turned the water on the washer cut off and it’s locked up or the cord is hard to pull

[@eileenchristensen1836]

I have a 2700 psi Troy Bill can find the model number and lost my owners manual, help.

[@dustinpollard6237]

Listen to them about the pull cord and safety stuff, i have a dozen small engine machines from huge garden tractors to 2hp water pump and im always safe. I read a general how to and of course, on 2nd or third pull, it snapped from my hand at the end of the pull and that summanabeech smacked my right man tittie and i was done, it was the worst. Last week i took a socket to the eye from a spinning impact wrench and still have a shiner but the tittie smack was twice as painful.

[@DokteDwolpes]

How can i find spray tips buying please ?

[@Cokie907]

I was given one of these from someone who left gasoline in it for 5 years. The fuel tank smelled like turpentine. DRAIN YOUR FUEL PEOPLE!!!!!! IF the unit will sit for more than 6 months, drain the tank and let her run until she quits. I had to take the entire fuel system apart and soak the carburetor in mineral spirits overnight. The unit runs at wide open throttle but has a hard time at lower power settings so something else is clogged in another circuit of the carburetor. Oh well, it runs and I got it FOR FREE!!!

[@danaschappell2779]

The carb Needs to be cleaned further , low speed circuit is dirty .......... little secret - DON'T USE Fuel stabilizer , believe it or not - mix some 2-cycle oil in with the gas - fuel stays good for a year or more , & carb won't get dirty if fuel left in over winter .

[@MrHuck]

Had a mower kick back taking a chunk of skin. Introduce the mower to big yellow. Thats my sledge hammer. He fixed that push mower up real nicely. Lol.

[@splitshot71]

Does this use a 2 cycle fuel or reg gas? I lost my engine manual. Ty

[@stookis8954]

Regular Unleaded 87-I add fuel stabilizer to my gas can-Helps makes the gas last longer if you only use the gas seasonally and will help protect any plastics. Good luck

[@MariaCastillo-us3dt]

I need a video in spanish, what kind of fuel and oil use an how i put the fuel and the oil please. I have one and i don't know how to use Please make a video in spanish for dummies about the hidrowasher please.

[@carlyletitus]

Absolute piece of junk. After 5 uses it won't start, no fire and pull pull pull and pull it some more.

[@samhall1231]

I have one don’t buy this product. Bought it new lasted 25 mins and stop running. Took make to store and they refused to replace it or fix it

[@barbaragoodwin4154]

Need to replace my pump,,,need to know that price...

[@ToastToGo]

$165 for a new pump for this unit. www.pwoutlet.com/AR-SRMW24G28-EZ-80011010-Pressure-Washer-Pump-p/srmw24g28-80011010.htm

[@claudedesaulniers2300]

Why let it iddle 2 minutes before shutting down ?

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

So it can cool down gradually.

[@truhunk1]

@@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel I don't think that is why. I have never heard that before, it doesn't make sense.

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

@@truhunk1 read the owners manual. They put it in there for a reason.

[@trilolova]

Lorenda Rae Would you like some assistance? Lol

[@bzrkr1202]

All jokes aside, you gotta apply pressure it’s not a delicate type press

[@austinmann822]

2:25 FIRMLY GRASP IT!!

[@TadashiYasahiro]

🤣 okay Patrick

[@fernandofresnillo3593]

I got the tip in and it started squirting everywhere

[@FedericoLucifredi0xF2]

The hazard alert is cute given the number of reports on these things never starting again after spending time in storage.

[@mochabean5042]

I'd be willing to bet that 90% of these reports are from users letting old gas sit in the carburetor, and that they just need to be cleaned out. It's not a Troy-Bilt problem, it's a user problem. Put some stabilizer in your fuel if you're gonna let it sit for years.

[@FedericoLucifredi0xF2]

Probably. And cleaning a carburetor is no biggie. The plastic camshaft on the other hand is ridiculous... engines better be made of metal.

[@mochabean5042]

***** Yeah that's a little nutty.

[@leesire]

Federico Lucifredi, plastic camshaft. What a joke. I was told by someone that built the b & s engines were designed to operate for 500 hours. I won’t be buying anything made by Briggs anymore.

[@briandelacruz7985]

HOLD UP I COULD DIE FROM USING A PRESSURE WASHER????

[@talclipse]

Well yeah sorta! Have you ever been hit by one? Another thing is a pain ole air blower like filling up your tires can kill ya. As a mechanic we are prone to goofing off,so sticking an air hose up a guys butt is funny.well that shit can kill a person.also keep air ratchets away from hair else someone will get scalped LMBO.

[@FreekoTravis]

F8c CVG x U

[@nbp1952]

They gum up easy when stored and won't start. They used to have a way to clean the gunk out but have made it impossible in the new ones. POS DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

[@Maniak5100]

Terrible. Bought a Troy Built 3000 psi. Used it a few times and now it won't start. Trying to replaced the carburetor but cannot find a matching one anywhere for it. Can't even find any information about this unit whatsoever. The company doesn't seem to have a functional website, and when it did once work they don't even recognize their own product when I entered the model. That was my first and last purchase of their product. Shame on Home Depot for even carrying this garbage.

[@abrown4552]

Bought mine at Lowe’s. Used exactly 6 times. Cleaned bowl on carb runs fine but now doesn’t have any pressure. Makes a weird noise when trigger is pulled. Waste of money. JUNK

[@matthewhackney5779]

Maybe try cleaning your pump? These things are so simple you probably just have a stuck unloader valve or maybe some blockage in the pump.

[@TheXalos]

It's a POS. Takes an hour of pulling gun squits whent wants to, keeps turning off during wash, soap comes at any time.

[@johndough6777]

I agree. Purchased one brand new and after one house cleaning its broken down and cannot be started. Changed spark plug, filters, oil, etc. still won't work. Should've bought a craftsman.

[@dustinpollard6237]

You're doing it wrong. I watched a general video and i got it started, but only after multiple mistakes. Mistakes i wouldn't have made if i watched this or found the operator manual. I have over a dozen small engines and this thing is super tight. I bought used but the muffler still has its paint and no carbon.

[@jasonarrganut7090]

just bought one 3100 damn good for the price its not an 600 buck unit an dont expect it to be i live in the real world if you cant put a tip in go back to kindgarden fool

[@shinta201]

don't even tell you how to use the detergent dispenser....worthless!

[@jdurrant421]

shinta201 is pretty simple. Fill it with detergent put rubber clear hose in bottle crank it up squeeze handle.

[@bzrkr1202]

shinta201 it’s simple and straight forward, read the manual!

[@probegt75]

Stay away from pressure washing obviously you're too stupid to figure it out

[@lisaaven3568]

The person asking this question may not have a manual.

[@cvinny82]

I was looking for this also. Bought used, no manual. Low pressure tip and soap still won't siphon, hoping to see if there was a valve switch or something I was missing.

[@gman922]

Got to be a simpleton NOT to know about gas driven engines and their effects.

[@jimmygiven3062]

I hate Troy Built !
