Basic Maintenance
– continued
Connections
Connections on hoses, the gun/lance assembly
and spray lance should be cleaned regularly and
lubricated with lithium grease to prevent leakage
and damage to the O-rings.
Water Screen
CAUTION:
If the screen is not kept clean, the
flow of water to the pressure washer will be
restricted and the pump may be damaged.
The pressure washer is equipped with a water
inlet screen to protect the pump. Clogging of the
water screen will restrict flow of water. Cleaning
is immediately required with unit turned OFF.
1. Disconnect the garden hose from the INLET.
2. Remove the water screen from the INLET.
3. Clean screen under warm water.
4. Replace screen immediately to prevent any
foreign matter from entering the pump.
5. Reconnect the garden hose to the INLET.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the screen while
removing or cleaning. Any foreign particles
entering the pump will damage the unit.
Pump Oil
The pump is lubricated for the life of the pump.
There is no need to change the pump oil, nor is
there a provision to do so.

follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule,
routine inspection procedures, and maintenance
