O–Ring Maintenance

O-Rings keep the connections of the hoses and spray gun tight and leak–free.Through normal operation of the pressure washer, they may become worn or damaged.

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

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 leaking connections with sealant of any kind. Replace o-ring or seal.

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