CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Connections
Connections on pressure washer hoses; gun and spray wand should be cleaned regularly
and lubricated with non-water soluble grease.
Spray Tips Only
Clogging of the spray tips causes the pump
pressure to be too high and cleaning is im-
mediately required. You can clean the spray
tips by carefully inserting the needle, or a
thin, sharp instrument (i.e. paperclip) into
the tip to rid it of deposits.
Water Filter Screen
The pressure washer is equipped with a wa-
ter inlet screen to protect the pump. If the
screen is not kept clean, the flow of water
to the pressure washer will be restricted
and the pump may be damaged.
1. To clean inner water screen, remove
quick-connector and remove the filter
screen from the pump inlet.
2. Rinse screen until it is free of debris
and blockage.
3. Replace screen and quick-connector im-
mediately to prevent any foreign matter
from entering the pump.
