Disable tilt sensor on pressure washer?

[Bo Loo]

Ok....way off topic, but I recently purchased a new pressure washer and one of the things that bugs me is that if I tilt it (even slightly) to move it, the engine cuts off.



Anybody have an idea of how to disable that? Or is it a must have feature to protect it?



My old one could be tilted and moved with no problems.

Look for a mercury switch and bypass it.

Unless it's an oil level cutoff. Owners manual is vague, contact Ryobi direct. GL

I bet you're right about the oil level...there's a wire leading into the oil reservoir that also leads to the start/stop switch...
