Presure Washer...

So I went to SamsCLub today and I found this presure washer it was the Karcher 1650 PSI
It was $109 so I figured I would give it a try.... Got it home put it together and it reallllllly sucks... I dont know if im doing something wrong or what but all I know is it sucks. It doesnt make any noise at all and I dont know if the motor isnt working or what, If anyone has this presure washer and have had the same problem or it works great for you please post up, thanks.

Heres a pic of it

Model #:K 3.81 M

If it's not making noise then the motor isn't turning on. Make sure there's no circut breakers you need to reset - sometimes they have them right on the machine itself. Also, if you don't have water pressure and pull the trigger the pump shoudln't turn on.

Other than that I don't know what to tell you.

water will come out when the trigger is pulled even if it is not plugged in. But yeah, it should have a breaker on it somewhere.

there is usually a breaker on the plug itself... some electric washers won't turn on unless there is pressure from water (so they don't run dry) if that pressure switch is bad, it may not function.

i bought a small electric power washer like that for cleaning the driveway and the like. works okay.
