While your pressure washer has been produced with
quality materials and craftsmanship, you as the owner
have certain responsibilities for the correct care of the
equipment. Attention to regular preventative
maintenance procedures will assist in preserving the
performance of your equipment.
Contact your Hydro Tek dealer for maintenance. A
small investment in preventative maintenance will add
many hours to the life of your pressure washer.
Perform maintenance more often under severe
conditions. Do not spray high-pressure water onto the
machine. Not all maintenance items apply to all
machines.
