Spray Tip Maintenance; Pump And Motor Maintenance - Briggs & Stratton PW101-2010 Manual Del Operador

Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking,
or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using it. Check for
cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, damage or movement
of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose
immediately.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces could cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose; replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST equal or exceed maximum
pressure rating of unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Make sure tube connection is tight. Examine the tube for leaks or
tears and replace if damaged.
Check Spray Gun
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure it
is secure. Test the trigger (D) by pressing the trigger lock button
(E) and making sure the trigger "springs back" into place when
you release it. You should not be able to press the trigger without
pressing the trigger lock button. Replace spray gun immediately
if it fails any of these tests.

Spray Tip Maintenance

Excessive pump pressure can cause a pulsing sensation felt while
squeezing the spray gun trigger. The principal cause of excessive
pump pressure is a spray tip clogged or restricted with foreign
materials such as dirt, etc. A clogged spray tip could lead to
pump cycling ON/OFF or not turning on even when there is some
flow.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the spray tip by
following these instructions:
1. Press the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O) position.
Remove power cord plug from electrical outlet.
2. Disconnect water supply at the electric pressure washer.
3. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press trigger
lock button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained
high water pressure.

WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces could cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze spray
gun trigger to release high pressure, every time you turn off
pressure washer.
4. Remove spray tip from end of metal wand (A).
5. Use the wire tip cleaner to free any foreign material clogging
or restricting spray tip (B). The wire tip cleaner is stored at
the lower back left of the unit.
6. Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back
flushing water through metal wand. Back flush between 30 to
60 seconds.

ON/OFF switch to the Pressure Washer ON ( — ) position.

connect spray tip.

Pump and Motor Maintenance

The electric pressure washer does not require any maintenance
to the pump or motor. Both assemblies are pre-lubricated and
sealed, requiring no additional lubrication ever.
