Applicable Models

RACPWS1, RACPWS2, RPW190BL-G, RPW36X50

Using for extended period

  • If using for an extended period, it's possible the motor over-heated and the thermal overload switch has activated.
  • Allow time for the motor to cool and then restart.

 

Multiple extension leads

  • The motor maybe low on power if running extra-long or multiple extension leads.
  • Only use one lead suitable for outdoor use and no longer than 25m.

 

Tripped main circuit breaker

  • As the motor is high-powered it may have tripped the mains circuit breaker if another high-powered appliance was running at the same time.
  • Check your electrical meter circuit breaker.

​​​​​​​

Running off a power board

  • Running off a power board may impact performance - these are often not suitable to run a Pressure Washer and could cause tripping.

​​​​​​​

36V RYOBI Pressure Washer:

  • Ensure you are using a 5.0A battery pack and it has enough charge.
  • It must have at least 2 bars to work sufficiently.
