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.

pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Turn off water supply, point gun in a safe direction, press
trigger lock button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure.
2. Disconnect garden hose from the water supply and the
electric pressure washer.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure outlet on
pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and wand. Use a rag to
wipe off the hose.

inlet facing down).

6. Coil high pressure hose and place it on accessory tray.

Protecting the Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits
or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates plunger and seals.
NOTICE PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It
is not included with the electric pressure washer. Contact the
nearest authorized service center to purchase Pump Saver.
NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the electric pressure washer is
turned off and inlet and outlet hoses are disconnected. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.

Final Storage Procedures

accessory tray.
2. Reinstall detergent tank onto unit. Store spray gun and
accessories on accessory tray.
