Electric Pressure Washer Maintenance

Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from electric
pressure washer. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the
front, rear and bottom of the electric pressure washer. These
openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
The electric pressure washer parts should be kept clean to reduce
the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
NOTICE Improper treatment of the electric pressure washer can
damage it and/or shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
Check and Clean Water Inlet Screen
Remove water inlet coupling (A). Then remove water inlet screen
(B) from the unit's water inlet (C) using a needle nose pliers.
Water inlet is located at bottom front of unit. Examine water inlet
screen. If the screen is dirty, clean with a small brush and water.
If the screen is damaged, replace it.

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 could cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST equal or exceed maximum
pressure rating of unit.
Check Spray Gun
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure it
is secure. Test the trigger (D) by pressing the trigger lock button
(E) 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 trigger lock button. Replace spray gun immediately
if it fails any of these tests.
