PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! Ensure the pressure washer is disconnected from power source and water supply before doing any of
the following maintenance.
NOZZLES
If the nozzle becomes clogged, pressure can build inside the pump, causing the unit to surge. Clean the nozzle by
carefully inserting the needle (#8) into the tip to rid it of deposits.
AIR VENTS
Keep the air vents located on the front and back of the pressure washer clean and free of any obstructions to ensure
proper air-cooling of the motor during operation.
STORAGE
If you must store your pressure washer in a place where temperature is below 5°C (41°F), you need to apply
winterizing procedure to protect it. Failure to do so may permanently damage the pump.
OPTIMUM WINTERIZING PROCEDURE
NOTE: Using pump saver, available at Princess Auto, will keep the internal parts lubricated, protected from rust and
prevents the pump from freezing.
1. Disconnect pressure washer from power source and water supply.
2. Connect the pump saver hose onto the water inlet.
3. Depress button on pump saver container.
4. Continue until fluid exits the pump outlet.
5. Remove the pump saver hose from water inlet.
ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURE
If you cannot perform the optimum winterizing procedure, you can still protect your pressure washer from
winter damage:
1. Disconnect all water connections.
2. Turn on the unit for a few seconds. Squeeze trigger to bleed any remaining water in the pump.
Tum off immediately.
3. Remove the spray gun and high-pressure hose from the pressure washer. Drain any excess water. Roll hose
carefully and do not allow hose to become kinked.
4. Store the unit and accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near
furnace or other heat sources of heat.
