Pressure Washer

GENERAL MAINTENANCE 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 pressure washer as instructed in this manual.

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

Figure 22 — Clean In-Line Filter

Filter Screen

Nozzle Extension

O-ring

1.Detach spray gun and nozzle extension from high pressure hose. Detach nozzle extension from spray gun and remove o-ring and screen from nozzle extension. Flush screen, spray gun, and nozzle extension with clean water to clear debris.

2.If screen is damaged, the o-ring kit contains a replacement in-line filter screen and an o-ring. If undamaged, reuse screen.

3.Place in-line filter screen into threaded end of nozzle extension. Direction does not matter. Push the screen in with eraser end of pencil until it rests flat at bottom of opening.Take care to not bend screen.

4.Place o-ring into threaded end of extension. Push o-ring snugly against in-line filter screen.

5.Assemble nozzle extension to spray gun, as described earlier in this manual.

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! NEVER repair a high pressure hose. Replace it with another hose that exceeds the maximum pressure rating of your pressure washer.

Check Chemical Injection Hose

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.
