NOTICE
Improper treatment of pressure washer
could damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt,
oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the pump’s water inlet. Clean
it if the screen is clogged or replace it if screen is
damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before
using it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging
of cover, damage or movement of couplings. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube/Tank
Examine the detergent tank and detergent siphoning
tube and clean if clogged. The tube should fit tightly
on the barbed fitting of the pump. Examine the tube
for leaks or tears. Replace the tank or tube if either is
damaged.
Detergent Siphoning Check Ball
Occasionally check ball in detergent siphoning
system may become stuck from storage, dried soap,
or minerals in water. The check ball can be freed by
performing the following:
NOTICE
Before performing this procedure, be sure
you are wearing safety goggles as described below.
1. Shut OFF engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction,
press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to
release retained high water pressure.
3. Remove detergent siphoning hose from barbed
fitting on pump.
4. Using a firm, blunt object 7/64” in diameter or
smaller, by at least 1” long, such as an Allen
wrench, slowly insert the object into the barbed
fitting until you meet resistance. This resistance is
the check ball.
5. Slowly push down until you feel the ball move
slightly, push no more than 1/8”. Slight pressure
may be required to free the ball.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
7. Reinstall detergent siphoning hose onto barb fitting.
8. Treat with PumpSaver as described in
Protecting
the Pump
during storage to prevent reoccurrence.
Check Spray Gun
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and
make sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing the
red button and making sure the trigger “springs back”
into place when you release it. You should not be able to
press the trigger without pressing the red button. Replace
spray gun immediately if it fails any of these tests.
7-in-1 Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure.
The principal cause of excessive pump pressure is
a nozzle clogged or restricted with foreign materials,
such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately
clean the nozzle following these instructions:
1. Shut OFF engine and turn off water supply.
2. Disconnect water supply at the pressure washer.
3. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction,
press trigger lock button and squeeze spray gun
trigger to release retained high water pressure.
WARNING
Risk of eye injury.
Spray could splash back or propel objects
resulting in serious injury.
• Always wear indirect vented (chemical splash) safety
goggles marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using
or in vicinity of this equipment.
• NEVER substitute safety glasses or dry-condition
goggles for indirect vented safety goggles.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
motor is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every time
you turn off pressure washer.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST equal or exceed
maximum pressure rating of unit.
