    Craftsman pressure washer 3000psi 7.0hp
    I have used my washer twice and loved it. Now I go to use it and it runs fine, but no pressure. Is there anything I can do to correct this other than take it in for repair?

    My pressure washer has no pressure and is new. Is there something I can do besides take it in for repair?

    You can try triggering the gun multiple times or turning the water off in mid use and turning it back on. This machine has a flow activated unloader or pressure regulator and needs to be "fooled". The machine is not sensing flow and therefor not building pressure.

    If you have replaceable nozzles try a #3.5 this will almost allways cure the problem.

    If all this fails take it to the repair facility.
