Maintenance - Ford FPWE-F2.1 Manual Del Operador

Lubrication
This pressure washer is designed with a closed lubrication system. It is not necessary to check or add oil.
Connections
Connections on pressure washer hoses, spray gun, and adjustable spray nozzle should be cleaned regularly with a
lubricated non-water soluble grease to prevent leakage and damage to the O-rings. A thin layer of plumbers grease or
O-ring lube is recommended. Dry O-rings can be damaged very easily when making connections.
Accessories
Check all hoses and accessories for damage prior to use.
Never repair a high pressure hose or use unit if the hose is damaged. If the hose is
WARNING!
damaged replace it with an identical Ford Power Equipment hose.
Water Intake Filter
Periodically check the Water Intake Filter for deposits. For maximum performance, clean this filter regularly.
Failure to clean the Water Intake Filter will restrict the flow of water to the pressure washer
CAUTION!
and can damage the pump. Replace cleaned filter immediately to prevent foreign particles
from entering the pump which could damage it.
Nozzles
The nozzles should be lubricated with non-soluble grease or light oil regularly. Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump
pressure to build up too high and cleaning is immediately required. To clear blockage:
• Force a stiff wire (or an unfolded paper clip) through the center hole.
• Back flush the nozzle with water using a garden hose at the highest pressure available. Use a garden hose nozzle or
your thumb to create enough water pressure for back flush.
• Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on the spray gun. If the pressure is still too high, repeat the first
two listed steps.
