Checking, Cleaning or Replacing Water Inlet and Detergent
Strainers
Some machines may be fitted with water inlet strainers and/or detergent tube strainers. Dirty or
blocked strainers may restrict water or detergent flow, which can reduce performance and be
mistaken as other problems. Check the condition of any strainers before investigating for other faults, where
applicable. • If the strainer is no longer serviceable, replace it.
The strainers are used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the pump and causing
internal damage to it. The water inlet and detergent strainers (if fitted) require regular maintenance as per the
maintenance schedule.

Strainer Inspection and Cleaning

Inspect the water strainer for dirtiness and debris etc. Clean or replace the strainer as necessary. To clean
water strainers:
•
Wash the strainer in clean water.
•
If possible, use compressed air to assist in removing any blockages. For detergent strainers, blow air
into the strainer from where it connects to the tube.

Strainer Removal/Installation

To remove strainers:
1. Place the machine in a horizontal position on a flat and level surface.
2. For the water inlet strainer, remove (rotate left) the water inlet adaptor (A) from the pump inlet connector
(B).
3. Pull the water strainer (C) from the inside of the pump inlet connector.
4. For the detergent strainer, remove the detergent tank cap, then pull the detergent intake tube (D) from
the tank.
5. The detergent strainer (E) is installed on the end of the tube – to remove it, twist and pull it from the end
of the tube
To install strainers:
1. For the water inlet strainer, place it back into the pump water inlet connector. Ensure that you install it
with the conical section the same direction as it was removed.
2. Re-install (rotate right) the water inlet adaptor.
3. For the detergent strainer, firmly push the strainer onto the detergent intake tube.
4. Place the tube back inside the detergent tank – it should rest along the bottom of the fuel tank. Re-install
the detergent tank cap.
