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 cut through 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 Spray Gun

Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing the red button and making sure the trigger “springs back” into place when you release it. You should not be able to press the trigger without pressing the red button. Replace spray gun immediately if it fails any of these tests.

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 nozzle clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately clean the nozzle following these instructions:

1.Shut off engine and turn off water supply.

2.ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained high water pressure.

WARNING

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

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.

Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.

After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure.

3.Remove nozzle from end of nozzle extension.

4.Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material clogging or restricting nozzle (A).

5.Remove nozzle extension from spray gun.

6.Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back flushing water through nozzle extension. Back flush between 30 to 60 seconds.

7.Reinstall nozzle and in-line filter into nozzle extension.

8.Reconnect nozzle extension to spray gun.

9.Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump. Turn on water.

10.Start engine following instructions How to Start Your Pressure Washer.

11.Test pressure washer by operating with each quick connect nozzle.

O-Ring Maintenance

This kit 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.

WARNING

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