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.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
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 pressing the red button
and making sure the trigger "springs back" into place when
you release it. You should not be able to press the trigger
without pressing the red button. Replace spray gun
immediately if it fails any of these tests.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure. The
principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a nozzle
clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the nozzle
following these instructions:
1. Shut off engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction and press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always
point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
