To increase the lifespan of your pressure washer and its components, please take the
following advice:
WARNING!
Always disconnect the electrical plug from the socket prior to maintenance
or cleaning.
•
We recommend you rinse through the mains water hose (not supplied)
pressure hose, pressure gun, lance and jet nozzle with clean water before
initial use or if the pressure washer has been stored for some time without
any use.
•
Ensure threads and connections are free of dust, sand or grit.
•
The inlet filter must always be fitted inside the water inlet pipe to filter out
sand, limestone and other impurities, as they will damage the pump valves.
•
Clean the water inlet filter regularly once a month or more frequently
depending on frequency of use. Carefully loosen the filter with a screwdriver
and rinse in clean water. Check that it is intact before re-mounting it.
•
The outside of the pressure washer should be kept clean to ensure cooling air
can pass freely through the vents, the outside must not be submersed in water
but can be cleaned with a damp cloth. To avoid damage to plastics, no
chemicals should be used to clean the pressure washer.
•
To ensure easy connection of components and to prevent perishing of seals
and O-rings, the threaded couplings and connections may be occasionally
treated with an appropriate lubricating grease.
•
Only allow repairs to be carried out by Vytronix.
