CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Connections
Connections on pressure washer hoses; gun and spray wand should be cleaned regularly
and lubricated with non-water soluble grease.
SprayTipsOnly
Clogging of the spray tips causes the pump
pressure to be too high and cleaning is im-
mediately required. You can clean the spray
tips by carefully inserting the needle, or a
thin, sharp instrument (i.e. paperclip) into
the tip to rid it of deposits.
WaterFilterScreen
The pressure washer is equipped with a wa-
ter inlet screen to protect the pump. If the
screen is not kept clean, the ow of water
to the pressure washer will be restricted
and the pump may be damaged.
1. To clean inner water screen, remove
quick-connector and remove the filter
screen from the pump inlet.
2. Rinse screen until it is free of debris
and blockage.
3. Replace screen and quick-connector im-
mediately to prevent any foreign matter
from entering the pump.
