WARNING
: The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum
pressure rating of unit.
Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed
fitting. Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace
the filter or tube if either is damaged.
Check Gun and Adjustable Nozzle
Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and
make sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing it
and making sure it “springs back” into place when
you release it. Put the trigger lock in the ON position
and test the trigger. You should not be able to press
the trigger.
Check In-Line Filter
Refer to Figure 3 and service the in-line filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:
1. Detach spray gun and nozzle extension from
high pressure hose. Detach nozzle extension
from spray gun and remove o-ring and screen
from nozzle extension. Flush screen, spray gun,
and nozzle extension with clean water to clear
debris.
2. If screen is damaged, o-ring kit contains a
replacement in-line filter screen and o-ring. If
undamaged, reuse screen.
3. 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.
4. Place o-ring into threaded end of nozzle
extension. Push o-ring snugly against in-line
filter screen.
5. Assemble nozzle extension to spray gun, as
described earlier in this manual.
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 orifice clogged or restricted with
foreign materials, such as dirt, etc. To correct the
problem, immediately clean the orifice using the
tools included with your pressure washer and follow
these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2. Detach nozzle extension from spray gun. Twist
nozzle clockwise to stream position. Using 2mm
(5/64) allen wrench, remove orifice from end of
nozzle extension.
3. Remove in-line filter from other end of nozzle
extension.
4. Use wire (or small paper clip) to free any foreign
material clogging or restricting orifice.
5. Using garden hose, remove additional debris by
back flushing water through nozzle extension.
Back flush between 30 to 60 seconds. Turn
adjustable nozzle extension to stream spray and
move nozzle from low to high while flushing.
6. Reinstall orifice and in-line filter into nozzle
extension. Do Not overtighten orifice with allen
wrench.
7. Reconnect nozzle extension to spray gun.
8. Reconnect water supply, turn on water, and start
engine.
9. Test pressure washer by operating with nozzle
in high and low positions.
