• The screen inside the clear adapter should be cleaned periodically. Insert a pen or pencil in small
hole at the end of the adapter. The screen filter will slide out
(Fig. 23)
. Rinse it with clean water,
and then place it back in the adapter..
• Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded paper clip), insert the wire into the nozzle
hole and move back and forth until debris is dislodged
(Fig. 24)
. Back flush water through the
nozzles using garden hose and highest pressure available (either standard water nozzle or use
your thumb over the nozzle to create water pressure for back flush).

• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal. The
pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power
washer if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the adjustable lance should be cleaned regularly and lubricated
with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire, Which is taped to this manual for use in unclogging the lance
nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire an unbent paper clip works fine.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of the water pressure
exceeds the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc.
You can vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
a. the angle of the surface being cleaned
b. the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
• Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water or the turbo lance on soft surfaces susceptible
to damage.
