Maintenance and Troubleshooting

• To increase the lifespan of your pressure washer and its components, please take the following advice:
  Warning! Disconnect from the electrical power supply before carrying out user maintenance

Cleaning the nozzle

Remove the spray lance from the spray gun; remove any dirt from the nozzle/turbo nozzle hole using the jet cleaning needle and rinse with water .

• Ensure threads and connections are free of dust, sand or grit.
• The inlet fiter must always be fited inside the water inlet pipe to filter out sand, limestone and other impurities, as they will damage the pump valves.
• Clean the water inlet filter regularly once a month or more frequently depending on frequency of use.
• Carefully loosen the filter with a screwdriver and rinse in clean water. Check that it is intact before re- mounting it.
• The outside of the pressure washer should be kept clean to ensure cooling air can pass freely through the vents, the outside must not be submersed in water but can be cleaned with a damp cloth. To avoid damage to plastics, no chemicals should be used to clean the pressure washer.
