MAINTENANCE
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
Check Chemical Injection Hose
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged.The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.
Check Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure.Test the trigger by squeezing it and making
sure it “springs back” into place when you release it. Put
the trigger lock in the ON position and test the trigger.
You should not be able to squeeze the trigger.
Check In-Line Filter
Refer to Figure 13 and service the in-line filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
