O-Ring Maintenance
The use of lubricant (petroleum or synthetic grease) helps
seat o-rings providing an improved seal. Apply lubricant to
o-rings prior to assembling high pressure hose (pump end)
(A), high pressure hose (gun end) (B), garden hose to the
pump (C), metal wand (spray tip end) (D), and metal (E)
and plastic wand (F) (gun end).
Purchase an O-Ring Maintenance Kit by contacting a
Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer. NEVER repair
leaking connections with sealant of any kind. Replace
o-ring or seal.
PRCD Fuse Replacement
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, replace
only with 13-amp BS 1362 rated fuse.
If equipped with fuse within PRCD:
1. Locate fuse on pin side of PRCD plug.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove cover (A) and
fuse. Remove fuse (B) from cover. Replace fuse with
13-amp BS 1362 rated fuse.
3. Insert cover and fuse.

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver to prevent freeze
damage, and lubricate pistons and seals.
