Section 5: Maintenance

An O–Ring Maintenance Kit is provided with your pressure washer which includes replacement o-rings, rubber washer and water inlet filter. Refer to the instruction sheet provided in the kit to service your unit’s o-rings. Note that not all of the parts in the kit will be used on your unit.

To remove a worn or damaged o–ring, use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath the o-ring and pry it off.
