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 using the tools included with your pressure washer and follow these instructions:

1.Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply.

2.Detach the nozzle extension from the spray gun.Twist the nozzle clockwise to the stream position. Using the supplied 2mm (5/64) allen wrench, remove the nozzle from the end of the nozzle extension (Figure 14).
