Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
• The screens inside the garden hose
adapter should be cleaned periodically.
Rinse it with clean water, and then place
it back in the adapter.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle
can cause significant reduction of water
pressure coming out of the nozzle and/or
cause the unit to pulsate while spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose
by squeezing the trigger 2-3 times, and
then lock the spray gun.
• 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.
• Back flush water through the nozzles
using garden hose and highest pres-
sure available.
Storage
• When your pressure washing ses-
sion has been completed, turn off the
power switch located on the front of
the power washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off the
water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times to drain out the
excess water and to release any remaining water pressure. Disconnect
the garden hose adapter from the water inlet. DO NOT allow the power
washer to run with no water flowing through it.
• Remove detergent bottle and clean completely. Residual chemical will
stick to the container and can cause the detergent injector to clog and
not function properly.
• Remove high pressure hose from spray gun.
• Remove lance from the gun. Place the gun in the holder on the side.
Lances are placed into any of the slots in the back of the unit. Make
sure to discard any remaining detergent from the bottle. Flush the bottle
and nozzle head with fresh water to prevent clogging.
• Hook the power cord around the L-shaped tab on the right side of the
machine when facing it.
