The connections on the pressure washer hoses, gun and spray wand should be
cleaned regularly and lubricated with the manufacturer's recommended grease to
prevent leakage and damage to the O Rings.
Clogging of the nozzle will cause the pump pressure to be too high. If the nozzle is
clogged, clean it immediately.
A nozzle cleaner must only be used when the spray wand is disconnected from the
gun or personal injury could occur.
1.
Turn off the pressure washer.
2.
Separate the wand from the gun
3.
Clear the nozzle with a small rigid piece of wire such as a paper clip
4.
Flush the nozzle backwards with water.
5.
Reconnect the wand to the gun.
Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on the spray gun. If the nozzle is
still partially blocked or plugged, repeat above instructions 1-4.
If the previous procedure does not clear the nozzle, replace it with a new one.
•
Some pressure washers are equipped with a water inlet screen to protect the
pump. If the screen is not kept clean, it will restrict the flow of water to the
pressure washer and may cause damage to the pump.
•
The screen is fragile so be careful when cleaning or removing it. Any foreign
particles entering the pump may damage it.
•
Do not operate the pressure washer without the screen in place (if originally
equipped.)
•
Remove the screen and backflush to remove impurities from the screen.
•
Replace afterwards immediately.
