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.
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.
Check Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure it is secure.Test the trigger by pressing it and making sure it “springs back” into place when you release it. Put the safety latch in the ON position and test the trigger.You should not be able to press the trigger.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure.The principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a spray tip clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc.To correct the problem, immediately clean the spray tip following these instructions:
1.Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2.Remove spray tip from end of nozzle extension.
