Frequently Asked Questions - PW 130 HUSQVARNA

How to bleed air from the Husqvarna PW 130 pressure washer?

Before first use, unscrew the nozzle and pull the trigger until water flows smoothly. Then screw the nozzle back on.

What detergent can I use with the PW 130?

Use only non-corrosive pressure washer detergents. Fill the integrated tank and set the nozzle to low pressure position.

What to do if pressure drops during use?

Check that the water inlet filter is not clogged, the hose is not kinked, and the water supply is sufficient. Clean the filter if necessary.

How to store the pressure washer after use?

Unplug the appliance, drain residual water by pulling the trigger without pressure, roll up the hose properly, and store it frost-free.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, with a cable of at least 2.5 mm² cross-section and a maximum length of 25 meters. Make sure it is suitable for outdoor use.

Why doesn't the motor start?

Check the power supply, the condition of the cable, and that the safety trigger is pressed. If the problem persists, consult a professional.

How to clean the water inlet filter?

Unscrew the water inlet connection, remove the nylon filter and rinse it with clean water. Put it back in place before use.

The hose leaks at the connection: what to do?

Check the condition of the O-ring and replace it if deformed. Tighten the connection by hand without forcing.

Is it possible to use hot water with the PW 130?

No, this appliance is designed for cold water only (max 40 °C). Hot water can damage the pump.
