GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in serious personal
injury.
Before running the engine, perform the following pre-
operation steps:
 Check that all bolts, nuts, etc., are securely tightened.
 Make sure the air filter is clean.
 Check both the engine oil level and the fuel tank level;
refill as needed.
 Inspect the work area for hazards.
 If there is excessive noise or vibration, stop the unit im-
mediately.

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

See Figure 18.
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while
squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or
dirty nozzle.
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Remove the nozzle from the spray wand.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the engine,
relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle, and
locking the lock out on the trigger handle. NEVER point
the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-connect
feature contains small springs that could eject the nozzle
with some force. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in an eye injury or other serious personal injury.
 To free any foreign materials clogging or restricting the
nozzle, blow out or remove debris with a straightened
paper clip or fine needle.
 Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
 Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
 Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
