Maintenance
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times
• Always allow all water to drain from the pump before storing
• The Lance Nozzle (10) may get dirty or blocked over time, which will
effect operation. Clean the lance nozzle using the Cleaning Pin (16)
supplied. There is a storage slot for the cleaning pin on the rear of the
pressure washer top handle. A garden hose can also be used to clean
the nozzle by back-flushing water through the nozzle. Combining use
of the pin and back-flushing should allow the nozzle to be thoroughly
cleaned. The frequency of carrying out this task will depend on the water
quality in your area. Hard water areas require more frequent cleaning
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised service centre
