AFTER EACH USE

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point spray gun in
a safe direction, press red button on spray gun and
squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure. Let engine
cool.
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.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to reel and spray gun while
system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
3. Disconnect hoses from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump and hose reel. Drain water from hoses,
spray gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off
the hose.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most liquid
in pump.
5. Coil hose on reel and store unit in a clean, dry area.
