Why is the lever to open the spout right beside the lever, instead of pull-trigger? It looks like you could get burned if you try to open the spout.

I don't know why they did it this way, but you don't get burned when using it.

My old nozzle snapped into the new trigger gun just like it did with the original trigger. My old trigger gun began to leak. That is why I bought the new trigger. The new trigger has a quick connect between the hose and trigger handle and between hose and machine.

When you push the trigger down air is let out pulling back on the trigger should release the water. if this does not happen unscrew the back end of the brush and loosen the retaining ring for the needle and adjust the needle till the right flow is obtained. Trigger down in forward position no flow as you pull the trigger back flow should increase. hope this helps

I just bought this. I put both levers down, turned the dial to high, and when they popped up, the entire outside (except the strip around the very bottom) is so hot that you can't touch it without getting burned. I think it would probably melt any plastics that were inadvertently pushed against it. I think I'm going to return it just for this reason, even though I haven't toasted with it.Addendum: My BF was appalled at how hot this became, so he shone a flashlight all around inside, and you can see there is NO insulation between the outside walls and the metal lining the slots. No wonder it gets so hot. I just bought this.

Slightly twist the circular part below the spout counter-clockwise. Sometimes it opens easily and sometimes it doesn't.

On mine you can NOT push it once to hold it on spray. You have to hold the trigger for spray. Arghh. My old one was the same way. Inconvenient when you want to have the spray on and use both hands for washing.

You can use the "trigger guard" like another handle. The shorter barrel and the heat guard are very useful against accidentally burning something as get close to what ever your working on.

the mechanism is: you need to slide the "lever" to the middle position, where you can depress it down to release the liquid. I usually check it once in a while to ensure it remains locked and sometimes I found it was sliding to the middle, but not much. And never got an accident. I think better you teach your kid not to attempt it, and in worst case, they will teach themselve a lesson.

There is a trigger on underslide of the the curved handle that open the spout completely and a button on the top of the handle that closes it.

I had a similar problem. The solution is to simply squeeze the handle on the wand. This takes the water pressure off of the pump, and the motor can start very easily. Otherwise, the water pressure on the pump is too high for the recoil starter to overcome.

Not sure what you mean about opening up the barrel. But like Becky White answered, you cannot open these barrels up.

This is a common problem with these units and the company refuses to do anything about it. I took my trigger Handle and Trigger but it would not fit. So....I just put the whole thing in our Recycle Bin and bought a new one off of Amazon. Sorry to say, if yours is a Home Depot brand, I'd get a refund and buy a different brand.

It's a gravity thing. Put the red dot on the barrel face up, press the button, and you get red. Works pretty smoothly.

No problem. Lever is almost straight up in the hot position. Don't use it much either.

You have to be rough when you cock it. Otherwise, it gets jammed most of the time. The problem is that when you cock it, if you do it lightly, the gun thinks that it needs another bullet to fire. Thusly, smooshing one bullet into another. Also, if the gun isn't roughly cocked, then you'll notice that the cocking lever will not return to it's natural state (towards the front of the gun) until the bullet is removed or sometimes you can roughly recock it and it'll unjam (doing that risks smooshing the next bullet).

It is my understanding ( as I don't have one but gave these as a gift )..that you hold the COLORED barrel & twist to open from the top. Hope that helps.

Send it back! It's so easy to use that you shouldn't have this problem at all. As long as there is water in the correct tank and you are hitting the trigger button, it should work. Double check that you set it up correctly and there isn't anything clogging it. Then send it back.
