PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE
C_ean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from
cleaning system. Keep linkage, spring and controls
clean. Keep area around and behind muffler free from
any combustible debris.
Cleaning system parts should be kept clean to reduce
the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated
debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
CAUTION
DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil,
etc.
Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
away dirt. inspect cooling air slots and openings on
the pressure washer. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
Check and C_ean _n_et Screen
Examine garden hose inlet screen. Clean if it is
clogged or replace if it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect hose before each use.
Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of cover, or
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace hose immediately.
I WARNING 1
Check Gun and Nozzme Extension
Examine hose connection to spray gun and make sure
it is secure. Test trigger by pressing it and making
sure it springs back into place when you release it. Put
safety latch in UP position and test trigger. You should
not be able to press trigger. Replace spray gun
immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Check _n-Line Fi_ter
Refer to the illustration and service the inqine filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:
Nozzle
Extension
O-ring
1. Detach spray gun and nozzle extension from high
pressure hose. Detach nozzle extension from
spray gun and remove o-dng and screen from
nozzle extension. Flush screen, spray gun, and
nozzle extension with clean water to clear debris.
2. Place in-line filter screen into threaded end of nozzle
extension. Direction does not matter. Push screen in
with eraser end of pencil until it rests flat at bottom
of opening. Take care to not bend screen.
3. Place o-ring into recess. Push o-ring snugly
against in-line filter screen.
4. Assemble nozzle extension to spray gun, as
described earlier in manual.
NozJe 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
spray tip clogged or restricted with foreign materials,
such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately
clean the spray tip following these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2. Remove spray tip from end of nozzle extension.
3. Remove inqine filter from other end of nozzle
extension.
.
Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material
clogging or restricting spray tip.
