MAINTENANCE

Check and Clean Inlet Screen

Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.

Check Detergent Siphoning Tube

Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.

Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube

If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
1. Place chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full of
clean water.
2. Attach black low pressure spray tip.
3. Flush for 1-2 minutes.
4. Shut off engine.
IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.
