If the screen is damaged, the o-ring kit contains a
replacement in-line filter screen and an o-ring. If
undamaged, reuse screen.
3.
Place the in-line filter screen into the threaded end of
the nozzle extension. Direction does not matter. Push
the screen in with the eraser end of a pencil until it
rests flat at the bottom of the opening.Take care to
not bend the screen.

Place the o-ring into the recess. Push the o-ring snugly
against the in-line filter screen.
5.

described earlier in this manual.
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
using the tools included with your pressure washer and
follow these instructions:
1.
Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply.
2.
Detach the nozzle extension from the spray gun.Twist
the nozzle clockwise to the stream position. Using the
supplied 2mm (5/64) allen wrench, remove the orifice
from the end of the nozzle extension (Figure 15).
3.
Remove the in-line filter from the other end of the
nozzle extension.
4.
Use the wire included in the kit (or a small paper clip)
to free any foreign material clogging or restricting the
orifice (Figure 15).
5.
Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back
flushing water through the nozzle extension
(Figure 16). Back flush between 30 to 60 seconds.Turn
the adjustable nozzle extension to stream spray and
move the nozzle from low to high while flushing.
6.
Reinstall the orifice and in-line filter into the nozzle
extension. DO NOT overtighten the orifice with the
allen wrench.
7.
Reconnect the nozzle extension to the spray gun.
8.
Reconnect the water supply, turn on the water, and
start the engine.
9.
Test the pressure washer by operating with nozzle in
the high and in the low positions.
