CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Garden Hose Adapter
• The screen inside the adapter should be cleaned
periodically. Remove it by dragging a thumb over the
screen with enough pressure to pull the screen and
washer out. Rinse it with clean water and then place
it back in the adapter.
Cleaning Nozzles
• A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can cause
of the nozzle and/or cause the unit to pulsate while
spraying.
• Turn off the unit.
• Turn off the water supply to the unit.
• Relieve any pressure trapped in the hose by
squeezing the trigger 2-3 seconds, and then lock the
spray gun by pushing the lock button.
• Remove the lance from the extension lance.
• Take off the variable spray nozzle lance. Rotate the
nozzle to open up the metal blades.

Storage
• When your pressure washer session has been
completed, turn off the power switch located on the
front of the power washer. Unplug the power cord
from the outlet. Turn off the water supply. Pull the
trigger on the spray gun 2-3 times to drain out the
excess water and to release any remaining water
pressure. Disconnect the garden hose adapter from
the water inlet. DO NOT allow the power washer to
• Remove high pressure hose from spray gun.
• Remove lance from the gun. Place the gun in the
holster on the side. Lances are placed into any of
the slots in the back of the unit.
• Make sure to discard any remaining detergent
from the bottle. Residual chemical will stick to the
container which could become cotaminated, and
can cause the detergent injector to clog and not
function properly. Flush the bottle and nozzle head
with fresh water to prevent clogging.
• Hook the power cord around the cord hook on the
right side of the machine when facing it.
• The pressure hose is stored on the hose hook
located on the back of the handle.
• DO NOT store the power washer where it is
exposed to freezing temperatures unless you use
an antifreeze designed for pumps. Store the power
washer indoors to prevent the water in the unit from
expanding under freezing conditions. When the
water freezes and expands, your power washer will
be damaged and become inoperable. Or, if storing
outdoors, it is recommended you use pump saver
(not included) to protect pumps.
