MAINTENANCE
1.WATER SCREEN:
Inspect the water screen before attaching water supply. Clean water screen if dirty. (The water screen is located in the quick connect coupler.)

If the siphon tube is used for detergent or wax remove and place in a container of clean water. Run clean water through the unit to flush any
detergent or wax from the pressure washer.

1.Put engine switch in "OFF" position and remove wire from spark plug.
2.Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve pressure, remove wand assembly from gun assembly.
3.Clear the nozzle with the nozzle cleaning tip.
4.Flush wand assembly backwards with water or compressed air.
5.If pressure is still too high, repeat steps
4.CHECKING OIL:
The pump is shipped with the correct amount of oil in it. This pump should never need any oil added or changed unless it develops a leak. A 30 weight non- detergent oil can be used in this pump (approximately
6oz.).
If pump is leaking oil take to an Authorized Service Center.
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE: Damaged high pressure hoses can burst which can cause a potentially hazardous situation. High pressure hoses should not be kinked, crushed, twisted, or damaged in any way. Replace high pressure hose should this occur.
