closed for the best water recovery.

SX-12 MAINTENANCE
Your SX-12 requires very little maintenance. To keep your SX-12 looking and working its best
follow these maintenance steps after every use:
Daily Maintenance
1. Rinse tool and wipe down with soft damp cloth.
2. Rinse brush clean. Examine brush for excessively ware and missing bristles.
3. Clean and inspect hoses.
Weekly Maintenance
1. Inspect spray jets. Check the spray pattern of the jets. Clean or replace the jets as
needed to assure an even cleaning pattern when using the tool.
2. Check and clean the stainless steel mesh solution line filter to prevent a reduction in
water flow and tool efficiency. See item NA0803 in the parts diagram, between the
quick connect and valve.
