Check
H igh Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using it.
Checkfor cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, damage
or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist,
replace the hose immediately.
_i_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 repairhigh pressure hose.Replace it.
* Replacement hoseratingMUSTequalor exceed maximum
pressureratingof unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine filter on detergent tube and clean if clogged. The
tube should fit tightly on barbed fitting. Examine tube for
leaks or tears. Replacefilter or tube if either is damaged.
Detergent Siphoning Check Bail
Occasionally check ball in detergent siphoning system may
become stuck from storage, dried soap, or minerals in water.
The check bail can be freed by performing the following:
NOTICE Before performing this procedure, be sure you are
wearing safety goggles as described below.
_i_WARNING Risk of eye injury.
Spray could splash back or propel objects
resulting in serious injury.
* Always wear indirect vented (chemical splash) safety goggles
marked to comply with ANSi Z87.1 when using or in vicinity of
this equipment.
* NEVERsubstitute safety glasses or dry-condition goggles for
indirect vented safety goggles.
.
2.
Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.
_i_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 engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
* Keephigh pressure hoseconnected to pumpand spraygun

* ALWAYSpointspraygun in safedirection,pressred button

4.
Remove detergent siphoning hose from barbed fitting
on pump.
Using a firm, blunt object 7/64" in diameter or smaller,
by at least 1" long, such as an Alien wrench, slowly
insert the object into the barbed fitting until you meet
resistance.This resistance is the check ball.
5. Slowly push down until you feel the ball move slightly,
push no more than 1/8". Slight pressure may be
required to free the bail.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
7. Reinstall detergent siphoning hose onto barb fitting.
8. Treat with PumpSaveras described in Protecting the
Pump during storage to prevent reoccurrence.
Check Spray Gun
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing the red button
and making sure the trigger "springs back" into placewhen
you releaseit. You should not be able to press the trigger
without pressing the red button. Replacespray gun
immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure. The
principal cause of excessivepump pressure is a spray tip
clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the spray tip
following these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press red
button and squeezespray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.

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