Cleaning the Nozzles: If you notice that the

output pressure fluctuates, you may have to

clean the nozzles. Turn the unit "Off". Unplug

from electric outlet and disconnect the water

supply. Remove the lances, trigger gun and

hose from unit. Take the small metal pin

provided and insert into the nozzle end to

remove any obstructions. (Fig. 19)

This will occur more frequently if your

water supply is very hard.

Lubrication: The pressure washer is

supplied with a closed lubrication system,

so no addition of oil is needed.
Checking the Water Intake Filter: The water

intake filter is located inside the water intake

connector. (Fig. 18). Remove periodically

and inspect for any deposits that might

accumulate there.

Cleaning Tips

Wood Decks: Rinse deck and

surrounding area with fresh water. If

using detergent, fill the detergent

applicator bottle and apply to the area

being cleaned. For optimal results,

reduce your work area to small sections

and clean each section one at a time.

Allow the detergent to rest on the surface

for a few minutes and then rinse at high

pressure. Do not let the detergent dry on

the deck. Always clean from left to right

and top to bottom for best results. Rinse

at high pressure using the fan jet keeping

the tip of the spray nozzle 8-12 inches

from the surface.

Caution: For soft

woods, increase the distance from the

cleaning surface.

Cars, Boats, & Motorcycles: Wet down

area to be cleaned before applying

detergent with clean water. Fill the

detergent applicator bottle and apply to

the area being cleaned. To achieve best

results, clean one side at a time. Allow

the detergent to rest on the surface for a

few minutes but do not let it dry. Rinse at

high pressure using the fan jet in a

sweeping motion keeping the tip of the

spray nozzle at least 8-10 inches away

from the surface. Maintain a further

distance when using a direct spray. Wipe

surface for a polished finish.
