Troubleshoot RYOBI Pressure Washer that stops during use

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.
