Self-suction Function
This function permits the pressure washer to pump standing water from a well,
tank, basin or other source, and will work when the water level is approximately
1 – 1.5m (39 – 59 inches) high. If the machine will not pump after 1 minute, turn
it off and check if:
The inlet hose is submerged
The water level is less than 1.5m high
The hose, wand or filter is blocked
The nozzle is producing too much pressure
Note: Water flow will be slower than when unit is connected to a running
water supply.
