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 the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure
it is secure. Test the trigger (A) by pressing the trigger lock
button (B) and making sure the trigger "springs back" into place
when you release it. You should not be able to press the trigger
without pressing the trigger lock button. Replace spray gun
immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Spray Tip Maintenance
Excessive pump pressure can cause a pulsing sensation felt
while squeezing the spray gun trigger. The principal
cause of excessive pump pressure is a spray tip clogged or
restricted with foreign materials such as dirt, etc. A clogged
spray tip could lead to pump cycling ON/OFF or not turning
on even when there is some flow.
1. Turn the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position.
Remove power cord plug from electrical outlet.
2. Disconnect water supply at the electric pressure washer.
3. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, push the trigger
unlock 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.
4. Remove spray tip from end of spray wand.
5. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material clogging
or restricting any of the spray tips.
6. Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back
flushing water through spray wand. Back flush between 30
to 60 seconds.
7. Reinstall spray tip into spray wand.
8. Reconnect spray wand to spray gun.
9 Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet. Check
that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump. Turn on water.
10. Plug power cord into electrical outlet and turn the master
ON/OFF switch to the ON ( | ) position.
11. Test the electric pressure washer by operating with the
wand.
Pump and Motor Maintenance
The electric pressure washer does not require any maintenance
to the pump or motor. Both assemblies are pre-lubricated and
sealed, requiring no additional lubrication ever.
After Each Use
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and "freeze"
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Flush detergent tank (if used) .
2. Rinse detergent bottle out with fresh clean water and
reinstall.
3. Run the electric pressure washer with foamer spray tip. Flush
for one or two minutes.
4. Turn the master ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position.
5. Turn off water supply, point gun in a safe direction, push the
trigger unlock button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure, and let engine cool.
6. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure outlet on
pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun, and spray wand.
Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
7. Drain water from pump by tipping unit to the side (water inlet
facing down) for two minutes. Tip to the other side (high
pressure outlet facing down) for an additional two minutes.
8. Wrap high pressure and store on hook on back of accessory
tray.
9. Coil power cord on brackets.
10. Store spray gun and spray wand in slots on accessory tray.
Store spray tips in holes on accessory tray.
11. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
12. If storing for more than 30 days see Winter or Long Term
Storage.
