Cause
•
Air in the system
•
High pressure nozzle blocked
worn
•
Detergent tank empty
•
Pump draws in air (only pos-
sible in suction mode)
•
Lack of water
•
Water inlet hose is too long or
its cross-section too small
•
Lack of water caused by
blocked water filter
•
Lack of water because max.
permissible suction height has
not been heeded
•
The plug is not inserted prop-
erly, i.e. there is no current
•
The mains fuse is switched off •
•
The mains voltage is too low or
there is a phase failure.
•
The pump is blocked or frozen •
•
Incorrect cross-section or
length of the extension lead
•
The overload protection has
been activated due to over-
heating or overloading of the
motor
•
High-pressure nozzle is dirty
•
Injector is dirty or suction hose
is blocked
•
Detergent tank empty
•
The cap on the FlexoPowerJet

Vent the system by operating
the spray gun several times at
short intervals. If necessary,
operate the cleaner for a short
time without the high-pressure
hose connected.
•
Clean/replace the high pres-
sure nozzle
•
Top up detergent tank or set
detergent metering to "0"
•
Check that the suction set is

Switch on the mains fuse
•
Have the electrical connection
checked
Contact the GRACO customer
service
•
Use lead with correct cross
section or length
•
Check that the mains volt-
age and the cleaner voltage
are the same. Switch off the

at least 3 minutes
•
Change the high-pressure
