knowledge and should be performed only by
a qualified service technician. For service,
bring the product to an authorised service
centre. When servicing, use only original
replacement parts.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
a cloth to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, and
grease.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, and penetrating
lubricants come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the
customer. All other parts should be replaced
at an authorised service centre.
Before running the engine, perform the
following steps:
■ Check to ensure that all nuts, bolts, and
other fasteners, are securely tightened.
■ Make sure the air filter is clean.
■ Check both the engine lubricant level and
the fuel tank level. Refill as needed.
■ Inspect the work area for hazards.
■ If there is excessive noise or vibration, stop
the product immediately.
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation
felt while squeezing the trigger) may be the

■ Turn off the high pressure cleaner and shut
off the water supply. Pull trigger to release
water pressure.

NOTE:
Never point the spray wand to
yourself and others.
■ Using a straightened paper clip or nozzle
cleaning tool (not provided), free any
foreign materials clogging or restricting the
nozzle.
■ Using a garden hose, flush debris out of the
nozzle by back flushing (running the water
through the nozzle backwards or from the
outside to the inside).
■ Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
■ Turn on the water supply and start the
engine.
