LubricateO-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation
and operation. Theuseof a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic
grease)during assembly helpsseat o-rings properly and
provides an improved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring
from damageby abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends
the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYSapply a small amount of lubricant on
o-rings prior to assembling the garden hoseto the pump
(A), high pressure hose(pump end) (B), high pressure hose
(gun end) (C), turbo wand (gun end) (D), adjustable fan
jet wand (fan jet end) (E) and adjustablefan jet wand (gun
end) (F).
Lubricate all connectionsshown below, following these
instructions:
1. inspect and cleanconnecting surfaces prior to lubrication
and assembly.
2. Uselubricants sparingly during assembly;a light film is
all that is required.

3. Checkhigh pressure hosefor leaks.
4. Checkspray gun operation.
PRESSUREWASHERMAINTENANCE
Clean Debris
Dailyor beforeuse, clean accumulateddebris from electric
pressure washer. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on
the front, rear and bottom of the electric pressurewasher.
Theseopenings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Theelectric pressurewasher parts should be kept cleanto
reducethe risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated
debris.
•Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
NOTICE Improper treatment of the electric pressure washer
can damageit and/or shorten its life.
•DONOTinsert any objects through cooling slots.

it is secure.Test the trigger (B) by pressing the trigger lock
button (E) and making sure the trigger "springs back" into
placewhen you releaseit. You should not be able to press
the trigger without pressing the trigger lock button. Replace
spray gun immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Excessivepump pressure can causea pulsing sensation felt
while squeezingthe spray gun trigger. The principal cause
of excessivepump pressure is a nozzleclogged or restricted
with foreign materialssuch as dirt, etc. A clogged nozzle
could lead to pump cycling ON/OFFor notturning on even
when there is some flow.
To correct the problem, immediately cleanthe nozzleby
following these instructions:
