TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

1.

Never operate unit without water.

2.

Pressure washer is not meant to pump
hot water. Never connect to hot water
supply - this will significantly reduce life
of the pump.

3.

Using detergents other than foreseen for
pressure washer brand may cause
damage to pump components (o-rings,
seals, etc). This also applies to chemicals
such as bleach, dish soap, etc.

4.

Never operate unit for more than one (1)
minute without spraying water. Resulting
heat buildup will damage pump.

5.

Before adjusting nozzle for pressure
(high-to-low or low-to-high) release trigger.
Failure to do so will reduce life of o-rings
in lance.
