OWNER’S MANUAL

Winterizing and Long-Term Storage

FOLLOW ALL OF THE ABOVE SHUT-DOWN 
PROCEDURES, ADDING 
THE FOLLOWING STEPS….

  •  After disconnecting the water supply, and   

    before disconnecting the high-pressure    

    hose, turn the pressure washer on for 2-3   

    seconds, until any remaining water in the    

    pump exits. Turn unit off immediately.

CONTINUED USE OF THE PRESSURE 
WASHER WITHOUT WATER SUPPLY 
ATTACHED WILL CAUSE SEVERE 
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT!

  •  Always store the pressure washer, parts,    

    and accessories in an area with a

    temperature above 0° C (32° F).

WARNING

Failure to comply with these storage instructions 

will result in damage to the pump assembly.

MAINTENANCE

  •  This pressure washer is supplied with a    

    closed lubrication system, so no addition    

    of oil is needed.

  •  Check all hoses and accessories for  

 

    damage prior to use.

  •  Check the water intake filter periodically    

    for deposits. Clean this filter regularly  

 

    for maximum performance.

(Fig 12)

WARNING

Always test the spray in an area free and clear 

of people and objects before you spray at the 

intended cleaning surface. 

Wood and Vinyl Decks

Rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh 

water. If using detergent, fill the detergent

reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned 

at low pressure. For optimal results, reduce 

your work area to smaller sections and 

clean each section one at a time. Allow the 

detergent to rest on the surface for a few 

minutes and then rinse at high pressure.

Do not let the cleanser dry. Always clean  

from left to right and top to bottom for best 

results. Rinse at high pressure using the fan 

spray keeping the tip of the spray nozzle at 

least 6-9 inches from the cleaning surface. 

Maintain a further distance from the cleaning 

area when using a direct spray.

For softer woods, increase the distance from the 

cleaning area.  

CAUTION
