NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
If the nozzle becomes restricted or clogged with foreign materials, such as dirt, excessive pump pressure may develop. A partially clogged nozzle can cause a pulsing sensation during use° This generally is not a pump related problem, but rather a clogged or partially restricted nozzle,
If the nozzle becomes clogged or partially restricted, imme- diately clean the nozzle with the kit included with your pressure washer by following these instructions:
,Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply, ° Separate the wand from the gun.
°Remove nozzle from the end of the wand using a 2mm or 5/64 allen wrench (like the one included in the kit).
,,Use ttle wire included in the kit (Fig° 26 on Page 17) or
a small paper clip to free the foreign materials clogging or restricting the nozzle..
