Troubleshooting
Maintenance
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times
• Always allow all water to drain from the pump before storing
• The Lance Nozzle may become dirty or blocked over time, which will
effect operation. Clean the lance nozzle using the Cleaning Pin (6)
supplied. A garden hose can also be used to clean the nozzle by back-
flushing water through the nozzle. Combining use of the pin and back-
flushing should enable the nozzle to be fully cleaned. The frequency of
doing this will depend on the water quality in your area with hard water
areas requiring more frequent cleaning
• Regularly check the Water Inlet Connector (18) filter to make sure it is
clear
Storage
• Always store this machine in a dry place that will not fall below 0˚C

way to dispose of power tools
