GENERAL MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATIONS

The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the pressure washer as instructed in this manual.

• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

properly maintain your pressure washer.

• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner’s

manual should be made at least once each season.

• If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure at

the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.

PRESSURE WASHER

MAINTENANCE

Check and Clean Inlet Screen

Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.

Check High Pressure Hose

The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.

Check Detergent Siphoning Tube

Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.

Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube

If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
1.

Place chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full of

clean water.

2.

Attach black low pressure spray tip.

3.

Flush for 1-2 minutes.

4.

Shut off engine.

IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.

Check Gun and Nozzle Extension

Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing it and making
sure it springs back into place when you release it. Put the
safety latch in the on position and test the trigger. You
should not be able to press the trigger.

Check In-Line Filter

Refer to Figure 9 and service the in-line filter if it becomes
clogged, as follows:

Maintenance

• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure

rating of unit.

The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
