Lubrication; Troubleshooting Guide - Snap-On 691918 Mode D'emploi

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. Run the Pressure Washer in low pressure until all of the soap is drained from
the detergent tank.
3. Pour clear water into the tank and run it through on low pressure as though it
were detergent.
4. Turn the machine OFF and squeeze the trigger to release the trapped pressure
inside of the machine.
5. Remove both the garden hose and high pressure hose from the unit.
6. Turn ON the machine and allow it to run for 5 seconds. (This will clear out most
of the water trapped in the pump).
7. 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 high pressure hose to the gun and then lock hose safety device.
CONNECTIONS
Connections (fittings) on Pressure Washer, high 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.
NOZZLE
The nozzles should be lubricated with non-water soluble grease or light oil regularly.
Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to build up too high and cleaning is
required.

1. Make sure Pressure Washer On/Off switch is
set to Off and spray gun trigger is locked.
2. Set the nozzle to high pressure setting to make
the nozzle hole accessible.
3. Clear blockage in nozzle by inserting the nozzle
cleaning needle (provided) through center hole.
4. After cleaning, remove the needle from nozzle and store for future use.

LUBRICATION

This Pressure Washer does not require any maintenance on the pump or motor.
Both assemblies are pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring no additional lubrication.
A small amount of oil leakage is normal. If oil leakage
persists or became worse, contact our customer service department.
WATER INLET SCREEN (FILTER)
The Pressure Washer is equipped with a water inlet
screen to protect the pump from foreign debris.
CAREFULLY remove debris from the screen using a
nonabrasive and dull object (finger or Q-Tip). Make sure
screen is not torn or broken.
Do not operate Pressure Washer without screen filter in
place. Impurities entering pressure pump can cause internal damage.
COOLING SYSTEM
The air louvers, located in and around the Pressure Washer housing must be kept
clean and free of any obstructions to ensure proper air cooling of the motor and
pump during operation.
