I just bought one in a kit at Home Depot, and the directions for use AND the labeling on the unit seem opposite the action of the unit (i.e. - the directions say to turn the regulator knob right (clockwise) to open flow, left (counterclockwise) to close, but turning right restricts airflow and causes air to issue from the drain valve, turning left opens flow). Customer service was less than helpful (had no unit to test, first said could be a misprint in the manual, then said unit was defective an should be returned). If anyone has this unit and can let me know if they've had similar problems I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Does anyone have or seen one of the HL5402 models?

The same goes for a variety of pressure washers. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07060.html The replacement wheels (now steel rim) are easy to install. The old model apparently was subject to violent wheel failure - when cold/brittle plastic shattered - possible sending shards into your unsuspecting ankle.
