Maintenance; Troubleshooting Guide - Snap-On 870552 Manual De Instrucciones

CLEANING TIPS:
• Never leave the Pressure Washer unattended while it is plugged into an electri-
cal outlet and while water is supplied to the equipment.
• Never use the Pressure Washer water inlet to siphon detergent or wax.
• If you have the nozzle too far away from the surface being washed, the cleaning
will not be as effective.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend life of Pressure Washer.
Pressure Washer's warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to opera-
tor abuse or negligence. Only by maintaining Pressure Washer in accordance with
instructions in this manual will the full value of the warranty be honored.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain the Pressure
Washer. All service and adjustments should be made at least one time each season. It
is important that the maintenance chart below be followed.
MOVING AND STORAGE
After each application or winter storage follow these instructions:
1. Turn the machine OFF and squeeze the trigger to release the trapped pressure
inside of the machine.
2. Remove both the garden hose and high pressure hose from the unit.
3. Turn ON the machine and allow it to run for 5 seconds. (This will clear out most
of the water trapped in the pump).
4. Unplug the machine and store in a dry, climate controlled environment.
NOTE: Do not store the machine or accessories in a place where the temperature could
drop below 40°F.
AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE
Scale deposits may form in the pump when it is not used for some time. This causes
the motor to hesitate or not start up at all.
1. Do not plug the unit into electrical outlet or connect the pressure hose to the unit.
2. Connect garden hose to the unit and allow the water to exit from high pressure
outlet for a few seconds to rinse the system.
3. Shut off the water.
4. Connect high pressure hose to the gun and then lock hose safety device.
CONNECTIONS
Connections (fittings) on Pressure Washer, high pressure hose, gun and spray wand
should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease to prevent
leakage and damage to the o-rings.
17
NOZZLE
The nozzles should be lubricated with non-water sol-
uble grease or light oil regularly. Clogging of the noz-
zle causes the pump pressure to build up too high
and cleaning is required.
1. Make sure Pressure Washer On/Off switch is set
to Off and spray gun trigger is locked.
2. Set the nozzle to high pressure setting to make
the nozzle hole accessible.
3. Clear blockage in nozzle by inserting the nozzle cleaning needle (provided) through
center hole.
4. After cleaning, remove the needle from nozzle and store for future use.
LUBRICATION
This Pressure Washer does not require any maintenance on the pump or motor.
Both assemblies are pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no additional lubrication.
A small amount of oil leakage is normal. If oil leakage
persists or became worse, contact our customer service department.
WATER INLET SCREEN (FILTER)
The Pressure Washer is equipped with a water inlet
screen to protect the pump from foreign debris.
CAREFULLY remove debris from the screen using a
nonabrasive and dull object (finger or Q-Tip). Make sure
screen is not torn or broken.
Do not operate Pressure Washer without screen filter in
place. Impurities entering pressure pump can cause internal damage.
COOLING SYSTEM
The air louvers, located in and around the Pressure Washer housing must be kept
clean and free of any obstructions to ensure proper air cooling of the motor and
pump during operation.
