MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend life of Pressure Washer.
Pressure Washer’s warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to opera-
tor abuse or negligence. Only by maintaining Pressure Washer in accordance with
instructions in this manual will the full value of the warranty be honored.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain the Pressure
Washer. All service and adjustments should be made at least one time each season. It
is important that the maintenance chart below be followed.
MOVING AND STORAGE
After each application or winter storage follow these instructions:
1. When finished using the Pressure Washer, you must first drain and rinse the
detergent tank.
2. Turn the machine OFF and squeeze the trigger to release the trapped pressure
inside of the machine.
3. Remove both the garden hose and pressure hose from the unit.
4. Turn ON the machine and allow it to run for 5 seconds. (This will clear out most
of the water trapped in the pump).
5. Unplug the machine and store in a dry, climate controlled environment.
NOTE: Do not store the machine or accessories in a place where the temperature could
drop below 40°F.
AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE
Scale deposits may form in the pump when it is not used for some time. This causes
the motor to hesitate or not start up at all.
1. Do not plug the unit into electrical outlet or connect the pressure hose to the unit.
2. Connect garden hose to the unit and allow the water to exit from high pressure
outlet for a few seconds to rinse the system.
3. Shut off the water.
4. Connect pressure hose to the gun and then lock hose safety device.
CONNECTIONS
Connections (fittings) on Pressure Washer, pressure hose, gun and spray wand should
be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease to prevent leakage
and damage to the o-rings.
USAGE OF CLEANING DETERGENTS
TO APPLY DETERGENT:
1. Select a detergent/cleanser appropriate for the intended application.
2. Prepare detergent solution as recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Remove the detergent tank lid.
4. Fill tank with prepared detergent solution. A small funnel may help with this
task. Replace the detergent tank lid.
5. Select “Black” detergent dispencing quick change nozzle.
Detergent will NOT flow unless “Black” detergent nozzle is
used.
6. Pull spray gun trigger and apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower por-
tion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.
Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
7. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing.
Reapply as needed to prevent surface from drying. Do Not allow detergent to
dry on surface (prevents streaking).
TO RINSE:
1. Remove the “Black” detergent nozzle and replace with the appropriate nozzle for
the application.
2. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, and then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
4. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping
strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.
Stop the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Disconnect electrical plug.
Turn off water and depressurize unit by squeezing trigger.
CLEANING TIPS:
• Never leave the Pressure Washer unattended while it is plugged into an electri-
cal outlet and while water is supplied to the equipment.
• Never use the Pressure Washer water inlet to siphon detergent or wax.
• If you have the nozzle too far away from the surface being washed, the cleaning
will not be as effective.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning.
