Before Each use
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Clean debris.
3. Check water inlet screen for damage.
4. Check high pressure hose for leaks.
5. Check detergent siphoning tube/filter
for damage.
6. Check spray gun and nozzle extension
assembly for leaks.
7. Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.
Clean debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris
from cleaning system. Keep linkage, spring and
controls clean. Keep area around and behind
muffler free from any combustible debris. Inspect
cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer. These openings must be kept clean
and unobstructed.
Pressure washer parts should be kept clean to
reduce the risk of overheating and ignition of
accumulated debris.
NOTICE: Improper treatment of pressure
washer can damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through
cooling slots.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior
surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
Check and Clean inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the pump's water inlet.
Clean it if the screen is clogged or replace it if
screen is damaged.
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
can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed
maximum pressure rating of unit.
Check detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and
clean if clogged. The tube should fit tightly on
the barbed fitting. Examine the tube for leaks
or tears. Replace the filter or tube if either
is damaged.
Check Spray Gun
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun
and make sure it is secure. Test the trigger
by pressing the red button 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 red button.
Replace spray gun immediately if it fails any of
these tests.
Spray Tip Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the
spray gun trigger may be caused by excessive
pump pressure. The principal cause of excessive
pump pressure is a spray tip clogged or
restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the
spray tip following these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe
direction, press red button and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release retained high
water pressure.
