You first have to pry the cap off the wheel with a screwdriver then under the cap there should be either a pin which you pry off or a nut which you loosen.

That is what it is supposed to do.

There is a pressure release valve in the pump. That pressure release valve is frozen shut (probably due to calcium or lime buildup). Other than disassembling the pump and clearing the calcium mechanically the only thing that I can think of is pouring CLR (Calcium, Lime, and Rust remover) into the port where the water hose connects and hope that the CLR will dissolve the calcium or lime. Pour as much CLR in as you can, connect the hose and pull the trigger and immediately release the trigger. You may have to pour CLR into the hose port several times.

Is the pump running?

yep good idea It is a faulty product so there should be no problems for the refund

just normal oil vapor from blow by from the ring operation get a new air filter as cleaning filters leads to dusting problems

Because it can!

There is a thermal pressure relief valve on the pump that opens when the pump starts to heat up.

Here's a link to your Simpson manual: http://simpsoncleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/manuals/megashot/MSV3024-I-pwmanual-7107460.pdf No oil is required for the pump. 10W-30 is normally specified for a Honda GCV160-GCV190 engine. You drain the oil by removing the oil cap/dipstick and then tilting the machine on it's side so that the oil can drain out if the oil fill into a container. (Drain when warm so it flows easily). The capacity of the engine is ~18.6 oz. Refill amount is ~12.0-13.5 oz. (either engine). When refilling, add oil and check on dipstick often. To check, press the dipstick into the oil fill, but DO NOT SCREW IT DOWN. Just insert the dipstick in until it contacts the top of the oil fill. The correct reading is between the lower and upper limits marked on the dipstick. (You may have to look carefully to see the marks).
