damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
Check Detergent Siphoning Hose
Examine the filter on the detergent siphon hose and clean
if clogged.The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.

sure it is secure.Test the trigger by pressing it and making
sure it springs back into place when you release it. Put the
trigger lock in the on position and test the trigger.You
should not be able to press the trigger.

pressure hose. Detach nozzle extension from spray gun
and remove o-ring and screen from nozzle extension.
Flush screen, spray gun, and adjustable nozzle extension
