CONNECTIONS
Connections on pressure washer hoses, gun and spray wand should be cleaned
regularly and lubricated with light oil or lithium grease to prevent leakage and
damage to the o-rings.
NOZZLE CLEANING (FIG. 14)
If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign materials, such as dirt, excessive
pressure may develop. If the nozzle becomes partially clogged or restricted, the
pump pressure will pulsate. Clean the nozzle immediately using the nozzle kit
supplied and the following instructions:
1. Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply.
2. Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve any water pressure.
3. Disconnect the spray wand from the gun.
4. Remove the high pressure nozzle (K) from the spray wand.
Remove any obstructions with the nozzle cleaning tool
provided and backflush with clean water.
5. Direct water supply (N) into nozzle to backflush loosened
particles for 30 seconds.
6. Reassemble the nozzle to the wand.
7. Reconnect spray wand to gun and turn on water supply.
8. Start pressure washer and place spray wand into high
pressure setting to test.
CLEAN THE WATER INLET FILTER (FIG. 9)
This screen filter should be checked periodically and cleaned if necessary.
1. Remove filter by grasping end and removing it from water inlet of pump.
2. Clean filter by flushing it with water on both sides.
3. Re-insert filter into water inlet of pump. NOTE: Convex side faces out.
NOTE: Do not operate the pressure washer without filter properly installed.
ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owner's Manual for manufacturer's recommendations for
storage.
TO PREVENT FUEL-RELATED PROBLEMS
1. Add Ethanol Shield
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage.
If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only
fresh gasoline.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes
to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the
carburetor.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of fuel in the carburetor
fuel bowl. Running time should be less than 3 minutes.
STORAGE
fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
