O–Ring Maintenance

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

An O–Ring Maintenance Kit is provided with your pressure washer. It 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 you will not use all of the parts in the kit.

To remove a worn or damaged o–ring:

•Use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath the o-ring and pry it off.
