CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Water Filter Screen
The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet filter screen to protect the pump. If
the screen is not kept clean, the flow of water to the pressure washer will be restricted
and the pump may be damaged.
A clogged water filter screen can cause excessive pressure to build-up in the pressure
washer's pump. The wand's water filter screen should be cleaned regularly to avoid
damaging the wand or pump.
1. Using needle-nose pliers, carefully take the water filter screen out of the wand.
2. Clean the water filter screen by carefully inserting the water filter cleaning tool
provided or a thin and sharp instrument (e.g. paperclip) into the filter to remove
any dirt deposited. Rinse with clean water.
3. Using needle-nose pliers, carefully reinsert the water filter screen into the wand.
Ensure the screen fits tightly into the wand's water inlet opening.
Main body cleaning
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the main body.
WARNING
Never use the unit to clean itself.
Connections
Connections on pressure washer hoses, gun and spray wand should be cleaned
regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease.
Spray Tips Only
Clogging of the spray tips causes the pump pressure to be too high and cleaning is
immediately required. Clean the spray tips by carefully inserting a needle provided or a
thin and sharp instrument (e.g. paperclip) into the tip to remove any dirt deposited.
1. To clean inner water screen, remove
the inlet adaptor and remove the filter
screen from the pump inlet.
2. Rinse screen until it is free of debris and
blockage.
3. Replace screen immediately to prevent
any foreign matter from entering the
pump.
