How do you get the air hose connected to the unit? Mine doesn't seem to want to thread.

I just screwed it right below pressure guage with some Teflon tape. Great pump. Hope this helps

Make sure that the hose snaps in place. If it doesn't snap in place check o make sure the plastic pieces that snap the hose in place aren't broken. I don't believe this is a common problem, its never happened to me. Good luck.

Shark has them BUT I called them yesterday on the same issue. There are sending me another hose. Maybe they have had problems with the hose. Mine came apart from the connector piece. If your issue is the same go on the website and get the phone number for parts.

You might want to check the hose feed in the unit. Maybe your hose is binding up. There is a plastic part that the hose feeds through while it is winding up. Make sure that part was in the down position before you initially fed the hose into your unit.

The adaptor to attach it to the air hose. I already found one though. Even the snap on stuff that I spent a lot of money on didn't come with them so maybe it's common practice to not include them.

I found I had to tighten the hose on the outlet, which is a pain where it is located, to keep it running smooth. Use a wrench, but no so tight you break anything. We also have to keep the hose situated so it drains down the whole length of the hose, no rises as it goes towards the open end. Hope this helps

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I have restrung the smaller unit. I suggest you take a heavy duty wire, like electrical ones you use wiring your house. Run it through the unit as a leader and pull the string through. Don't know if this will work but it is what I did before. Good luck. Frank

If the brass connector has a nub on the end like mine I cut the hose pushed the hose over the nub and used a small screw clamp to connect the hose to the brass connector works fine . Hope this helps Jim

Apparently I may have put it together incorrectly- the thread on the quick connect wasn't working. 1 responder said that I flip flipped that part. I haven't tried to redo. But I replace the quick connect with a brass one- Home Depot should have them- no issue, but try every way to attach the part that goes from the unit to the garden hose- if it works well. You should be good! Good luck! I am here if you need!

Sounds like you have a problem with your hose. I would just replace the hose and it should work fine.

I have had that problem a couple times. Can't say how to fix only that I use something like a wired coat hanger and bend the end as to not puncture the hose. That does the trick, good luck. Peter

Disconnect the mister from the hose, let water run until cool, then connect the mister. Viola! Cool mist!!

Look closely - this is addressed in the instructions - has something to do with dismounting the hose reel and setting it on its' side and cycling it, as I remember it. Also, maybe you could try to pull out more hose and try again. Short hose pulls are under less tension.

I do not have this hose, but was looking at it for my own AR118. I have found the wand hose difficult to thread onto the base unit and, after two years of struggling with it, found the o-rings were getting worn from the friction. A dab of motor oil on the threads and the o-ring made it much easier to fully insert the o-ring and start the threads. Might be worth a try.

Not sure exactly which wand attachment you are having problems with. I just push in the red button and it releases from the unit and then slides onto the hose with a click. If it's the longer piece just pull up on it and it will come off. It will also attach to the hose with a click. I'll go home for lunch and check for sure.

Sounds like a question for Dr Drew...but I'll give it a go. Here's what I'd test....Put a bit of WATER in the container and assemble everything, then pump the handle just a FEW times. Then SLOWLY unscrew where the hose connects to the container, does air escape? If not, then either there's an issue with THAT seal, there's an issue with the pump:container seal, or there's an issue with the pump itself. If air does escape, then screw it back on and pump it once. Then unscrew the spray nozzle tip all the way and pull the trigger, does air/water escape? If so, then there was an issue with the nozzle being too tight. If not, then the tube or nozzle are likely clogged and then take an air car with the little included hose and open the trigger then spray the air into the tube to clean out the system, then from the nozzle side. Does this fix it?

First make sure the length is right, then stretch the hose out. This takes out the tendency to coil up. Make sure the pressure valve by the return is not turned all the way down. If it goes to fast it will tangle. Release the pressure so it slows down, mine works great.
