NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
If the nozzle becomes restricted or clogged with foreign
materials, such as dirt, excessive pump pressure may
develop. A partially clogged nozzle can cause a pulsing
sensation during use. This generally is not a pump relat-
ed problem, but rather a clogged or partially restricted
nozzle.
If the nozzle becomes clogged or partially restricted,
immediately clean the nozzle with the kit included with
your pressure washer by following these instructions:
Shut off the motor and turn off the water supply.
Separate the wand from the gun.
Adjust the nozzle to the stream position.
Remove nozzle from the end of the wand using a
2ram or 5/64 allen wrench (like the one included in the
kit).
Use the wire included in the kit or a small paper clip to
free the foreign materials clogging or restricting the
nozzle.
Remove additional debris by back flushing water sup-
ply through wand. Back flush between 30 to 60 sec-
onds. Turn wand to stream spray and move nozzle
from low to high pressure while flushing.
Reinstall nozzle into wand. DO NOT overtighten.
Reconnect wand extension to spray gun.
Reconnect the water supply, turn ON the water, and
start the motor.
Test the pressure washer by operating with nozzle in
the high and the low pressure positions.
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments of minerals can deposit on pump parts
and "freeze" pump action. A_ler each time you are fin-
ished using your pressure washer, follow this procedure:
Flush detergent hose by placing the injector filter into
a pail of ctear water while running Pressure Washer
with nozzle in low pressure mode. Flush until you can
see clear water flowing through hose.
Switch the Master ON/OFF switch to OFF, unplug it,
then remove all the hoses.
Store the pressure washer and its components in such
a way as to protect it from freezing.
Store in a clean, dry area. Ideally, the unit should be
stored in a frost-free room.
Coil the high pressure hose and inspect it for damage.
Cuts in the hose or fraying of it could result in leaks
and loss of pressure. Should any damage be found,
reptace the hose. DO NOT attempt to repair a dam-
aged hose. Replace the hose with the genuine
Craftsman part.
Brain water from hose and properly store it to prevent
cuts and general wear.
