Check High Pressure Hose

High pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear, kinking, or abuse. Inspect hose before each use. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings.

Check Gun and Nozzle Extension

Examine hose connection to spray gun and make sure it is secure. Test trigger lock (red buttion) by pressing it and making sure it springs back into place when you release it. With trigger lock in latched position, test gun by squeezing trigger. You should not be able to press trigger. Replace spray gun immediately if it fails any of these tests.

The nozzle extensions use o-rings to prevent water leaks. Normal usage will cause wear on these rings and mating surfaces.

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.Turn master ON/OFF switch to OFF.(Turn knob fully counter-clockwise.) Disconnect water supply.

2.Press trigger lock (red button), pull spray gun trigger to relieve pressure.

3.Remove nozzle extension from spray gun.

4.Use supplied cleaning wire or bent paper clip to free any foreign material clogging or restricting nozzle.
