Power washer surface cleaner not spinning.

With a power washer surface cleaner you need not to be apprehensive of the correct distance to hold the nozzle or the angle at which the water needs to be directed. The water pressure and spinning motion creates a gentle hover affect helping you move the surface cleaner more easily. If you ve hit a piece of debris or something it could have slightly angled the tips and cause it to spin faster and wear the bushing out. Water is still coming out of both tips on each arm i can spin the arms freely when the pressure washer is not engaged but once i engage it the arms wont spin by hand but there is pressured water coming out of both tips.

So when the surface cleaner does not spin you are unable to move it to clean up the grime and dirt on your outdoor pavement. I have a ez clean 15 surface cleaner. For use with cold water pressure washers rated up to 3700 psi this unit features high pressure jets that are great for working near surfaces that you do not want to get wet. This surface cleaner is made out of high quality steel and uses high pressure rotating jets for a thorough clean that are fast and streak free.

Most cheaper surface cleaners don t have bearings. A surface cleaner does not require any power to achieve its effect it is designed so that the water pressure coming from the power washer forces a spray bar with a nozzle at each end to rotate. Uniform results just adjust the pressure settings on the washer and the rotating surface cleaner will do the job.

I got about half way done doing the drive way and the arms on the surface cleaner stopped spinning. Periodically check the tips to ensure they are not clogged by dirt or other matter as this can cause the rotary arm to stop spinning leading to missed areas on the surface being cleaned.
