CONNECTIONS
Connection on the pressure washer hoses, gun and
spray lance should be cleaned regularly and lubricated
with manufacturer’s recommended grease to prevent
leakage damage to the o-rings.
NOZZLE
Blocking of the nozzles causes the pump pressure to rise
therefore, ensure the nozzle is kept clean.
When cleaning with the pressure washer, many cleaning
tasks can be solved with water alone but for most tasks, it
is advantageous to use a detergent.
APPLICATIONS OF SOAP OR DEGREASER
1. Apply the solution to a dry work surface. On a vertical
surface, apply horizontally from side to side starting from
the bottom to avoid streaking.
NOTE: Wetting the surface rst is not recommended,
it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning
effects.
Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight
to minimize the chances of the detergent damaging
the painted surfaces. Damage may occur to painted
surface if detergent is allowed to dry on the surface.
Hold the nozzle far enough away from the surface to
prevent damage.
2. Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing.
3. Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a
vertical surface, rst rinse from the bottom up, then rinse
from top to bottom. Hold nozzle 6-8 inches from the work
surface at a 45° angle using the at spray as a peeling
tool rather than a scrub brush.
APPLICATION OF WAX
1. Immediately after cleaning, apply wax. Place injection
tube in container of wax.
2. Apply the wax sparingly in a even layer, Apply to wet
surfaces from bottom up for an even distribution and to
avoid streaking.
3. Remove the suction tube from the wax bottle, rinse off
the surplus wax.
NOTE: IF SURPLUS WAX IS NOT REMOVED, A HAZY
FINISH MAY RESULT.
4. Wipe dry to reduce water spotting.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING TECHNIQUES
END OF OPERATION
When you have completed use of the detergent injection
system, remove tube from container. Continue to run
in low pressure position and inject clean water through
the tube and injection system by placing end of tube
in a container of clean water. Continue to run until it is
thoroughly cleaned.
WARNING
A nozzle cleaner must only be used when the spray
lance is disconnected from the gun or personal
injury could occur.
1. Separate the lance from the gun.
2. Clear the nozzle with a small rigid piece of wire such
as a paper clip.
3. Flush the nozzle backwards with water.
4. Reconnect the lance to the gun.
Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on
the spray gun. If the nozzle is still blocked or partially
blocked, repeat above instructions 1-4.
If previous procedure does not clear the nozzle, replace
with a new nozzle.
WATER SCREEN
The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet
screen to protect the pump. If the screen is not kept
clean, it will restrict the ow of water to the pressure
washer and may cause damage to the pump. Do not
damage the screen while removing or cleaning screen.
Any foreign particles entering the pump may damage the
pump. Do not operate the pressure washer without the
screen in place.
Remove the screen and backush to remove impurities.
Replace immediately.
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions
may develop which will cause an icing condition in the
carburettor. If this develops, the engine may run rough,
lose power and may stall. This temporary condition can
be overcome by deecting some of the hot air from the
engine over the carburettor area.
