GENERAL MAINTENANCE

PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE

Check and Clean Inlet Screen

Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.

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.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the high pressure washer as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your high pressure washer.

All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner’s manual should be made at least once each season.

If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure at the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.

Before Each Use

1.Check engine oil level.

2.Check water inlet screen for damage.

3.Check in-line filter for damage.

4.Check high pressure hose for leaks.

5.Check detergent siphoning tube and filter for damage.

6.Check spray gun, nozzle extension, and nozzles for leaks.

7.Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.

WARNING

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.

Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure rating of unit.

Check Detergent Siphoning Tube

Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting. Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or tube if either is damaged.

Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube

If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.

1.Place chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full of clean water.

2.Attach black low pressure spray tip.

3.Flush for 1-2 minutes.

4.Shut off engine.

IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure in the system. When the engine has shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to relieve the pressure in the hose.
