NOZZLE CLEANING
If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign materials, such as dirt, excessive pressure may develop.
If the nozzle becomes partially clogged or restricted, the pump pressure will pulsate. Clean the
nozzle immediately using the nozzle kit supplied and the following instructions:
1) Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply.
2) Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve any water pressure.
3) Disconnect the spray wand from the gun.
4) Remove the high-pressure nozzle from the
spray wand. Remove any obstructions with the nozzle
cleaning tool provided, or a straightened paper clip,
and work back and forth until the obstruction is
removed.
5) Direct water supply into nozzle end to backflush loosened particles for 30 seconds.
6) Reassemble the nozzle to the wand.
CLEAN THE WATER INLET FILTER
This screen filter should be checked periodically and cleaned if necessary.
1) Remove filter by grasping end and removing it from water inlet of pump.
2) Clean filter by flushing it with water on both sides.
3) Re-insert filter into water inlet of pump.
NOTE: Do not operate the pressure washer without filter properly installed.
ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owners Manual for manufacturer's recommendations for storage.
PUMP
The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer when storing the unit for more
than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. Pump protector/winterizer is usually
available at the store where the pressure washer was purchased. If a pump protector/winterizer is
not available, RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/winterizer or RV antifreeze is to provide proper lubrication to the
internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.
1) Obtain a funnel, 6 ounces (170 mL) of RV Antifreeze, and a 16" to 36"
(40-91 cm) section of garden hose with a male hose connector
attached to one end.
Risk of Property Damage. Use only RV Antifreeze. Any
other antifreeze is corrosive
and can damage the pump.
2) Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3) Connect the length of garden hose to the water inlet of the
pump.
4) Add RV Antifreeze to hose as shown.
5) Pull starter rope slowly several times until antifreeze comes
out of the high pressure hose connection of the pump.
6) Remove garden hose from water inlet of pump.
7) Reconnect spark plug wire.
