Inspect Spray System
Inspect spray system for damage and leaks before each use.
Do not start pressure washer until all needed repairs have been completed.
WARNING: High pressure fluid injection hazard High pressure fluid discharge from leaks (even pin-sized)
or ruptured components can pierce skin and inject fluid into the body. Injection injury can result in blood poisoning
and/or severe tissue damage leading to infection, gangrene, and possibly amputation.
• Never use a finger or skin to check for leaks.
• Never operate machine with damaged or missing hoses/parts.
• Never attempt to repair a high-pressure hose or component. Always replace it with a part
that is rated at or above the pressure rating of this machine.
1) Check hoses, fittings, wand, trigger gun and connections for signs of wear, cracks, looseness, or leaks.
Replace as required.
2) Check and clean the nozzle orifice.
Clean Inlet Filter
Clean the water filter before each use.
WARNING: When cleaning filters, check whether dangerous chemicals have been used with the filter
and take any precautions that may be recommended by the manufacturer of these chemicals. Always
dispose of hazardous fluids per local, state, and national guidelines.
Self-cleaning method:
1) Locate water filter on pump inlet hose. (See the Skid Frame
reference in the parts explosion section.)
2) Make sure there is water in tank.
3) Turn the red knob counterclockwise open. Allow the water to
run thru the hose barb for a minute or two. Turn clockwise to
close.

1) Disassemble filter housing.
2) Remove filter.
3) Run under water to clean. Note: The filter can be ordered separately if it becomes damaged. (See the Skid
