O-RingMaintenance

Through the normal operation of your pressure washer, o-rings, which keep the connections of the hoses and spray gun tight and leak-free, may become worn or damaged.

Provided with your pressure washer is an O-Ring

Maintenance Kit 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.

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and "freeze" pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days, follow this

procedure:

I.Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in low pressure mode (adjustable nozzle in the forward position). Flushfor one to two minutes.

2.Shut off the engineand let it cool, then remove all hoses. Disconnect spark plugwire from spark plug.

3.Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid in the pump.

NOTE: To protect the unit from freezing temperatures, draw RV antifreeze (non-alcohol) into the pump by pouring the solution into a 3-foot section of garden hose connected to inlet adapter and pulling recoil handle twice.

4.Store unit in a clean, dry area.
