Maintenance
General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the electric pressure washer.
The electric pressure washer's warranty does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the
operator must maintain the electric pressure washer as
instructed in this manual, including proper storage.
NOTICE Should you have questions about replacing
components on your electric pressure washer, please call
(800) 743-4115 for assistance.
Before Each Use
1. Clean debris.
2. Check water inlet screen for debris or damage.
3. Check high pressure hose for leaks.
4. Check spray gun operation.
Electric Pressure Washer Maintenance
Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from electric
pressure washer. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on
the front, rear and bottom of the electric pressure washer.
These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
The electric pressure washer parts should be kept clean to
reduce the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated
debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
NOTICE Improper treatment of the electric pressure
washer can damage it and/or shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
Check and Clean Water Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the unit's 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.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST equal or exceed
maximum pressure rating of unit.
Check Spray Gun
Examine hose connection to spray gun and make sure it
is secure. Test trigger (A) by pressing trigger lock button
(B) and making sure trigger "springs back" into place when
you release it. You should not be able to press trigger
without pressing trigger lock button. Replace spray gun
immediately if it fails any of these tests.

Spray Tip Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure. The
principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a clogged
spray tip or restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt,
etc. To correct the problem, immediately clean the spray
tip following these instructions:
1. Turn the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position.
2. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press
red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces could cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury
and possible amputation. Spray gun traps high
water pressure, even when motor is stopped and water is
disconnected, which could result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and
spray gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every time
you turn off pressure washer.
3. Remove spray tip (C) from end of spray wand (D).

4. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material
clogging or restricting spray tip.
5. Remove spray wand from spray gun.
6. Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by
back flushing water through spray wand. Back flush
between 30 to 60 seconds.
