CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• 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. Flush
water through the nozzle 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).
Storage
• When your pressure washing session 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 and unscrew the other end of the high pressure hose
from the power washer.
•
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.
• The pressure hose is stored on the hose hook located on the back of the handle.
•
DO NOT store the power washer where it is exposed to freezing temperatures unless you
use an antifreeze designed for pumps
. It is recommended that you use this antifreeze for storing
in freezing temperatures. Freezing will damage the pump unless this is added to the power washer.
If not using or if storing your power washer for more than one month, it is also recommended that
an antifreeze is used to protect the pump.
