POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
PUMP LUBRICATION
The pump on this unit is lubricated with a sufficient amount
of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal
operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you notice
any leaking of lubricant around the pump seals, take the
pressure washer to an authorized service center for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer
pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may dam-
age the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
See Figure 17.
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while
squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or
dirty nozzle.
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Unplug the pressure washer.
 Remove the nozzle from the spray wand.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the motor,
relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle, and
locking the lock out on the trigger handle. NEVER point
the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-connect
feature contains small springs that could eject the nozzle
with some force. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in an eye injury or other serious personal injury.
 To free any foreign materials clogging or restricting the
nozzle, blow out or remove debris with a straightened
paper clip or fine needle (not included).
