I am having trouble attaching the big rubber weight to the hose. Is there a trick to making it fit?

My husband indicates that it was hard to get on. Husband says it takes some force but it slides on there.

I just went out and removed and replace the weight to be sure I was not overlooking something. The only thing I can think of is make sure you install the weight on the male end of the hose, not the female. Hope that helps.

I held my Kreepy Krauly underwater and also rub a little vasoline to make it slide on smoother. It still took a little force,while twisting hose and pushing weight on to hose.

I started at the bottom and lifted the black rubber up. I gently pulled it off the bottom corners then slipped it off. I would try not to stretch it too much or it won't stay tight on the plastic when you put it back on.

You can try putting a little piece of something like velcro tape between the fittings to make it fit more tightly.

I bought one too, about the same time, mine did the same thing, so I zip tied it to the hose. If I need to raise the weight I just add a hose.

I have had some success by adding a additional length or two of hose and or twisting the hose a few turns one direction or the other to change the directional tension on the unitalso if it quits look first at the rubber diaphragm for tiny splts and purchase heavy duty ones on amazon and they seem to work for long timebut mine is on most all the time though.

You need to firmly press the water fill hose into the small hole at the top of the canister assembly. The snug fit should hold firmly in place. if your fill hose is worn or broken, you may need to replace it as well.

You need to get a screw in downsizer. The hose will slip onto the downsizer and need to be clamped on. Only the solid hoses screw onto each end. The flex hoses have to use a shaft that screws on one end and is tapered to a smaller size so the hose fits over it and clamps on.

Actually I had the same exact problem. I had to straighten the hose and razee unit then it worked. Good luck.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

I attach the hose to my brush pole. Its a hard fit but it works, The only problem I have is that I need an extension for the main drain end because the one it has, has that valve that opens and closes which does not allow for full suction

Could not get the proper configuration between hose and power washer due to conflict with built-in strainers

One of two things you should check... first is the weight rubbing on something when it goes in or goes out? Related to this is there a twist in how the hose enters end exits the hole; and secondly do you have the weight adjusted to the right position that it pulls itself back in (you can move it up and down until you find the right position for your taste.)

Wrap the air hose outlet with the supplied Teflon tape put it on thick this will This should give a quarter to half less rotation just play with it then hook it up and it should hold pressure

I had lots of trouble too, and the manufacturer was no help. I posted a question here on amazon and got a great reply. I decided to make a little video, which I hope helps! http://blogofott.blogspot.com/2013/09/wideand-tight.html?m=1

Hi Kev, I went trough that ordeal my suggestion get a pair of rubber gloves (like the ones nurses use) and pull on the hose the gloves will provide the necessary grip. Kev if that does not work use pliers and twist while pulling slowly to prevent damage to the plastic ring around the hose.

Mine stuck so hard it collapsed the tube. I would try to move the hose around. I didn't really get mine going either
