NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
If the nozzle becomes restricted or clogged with foreign
materials, such as dirt, excessive pump pressure may
develop. A partially clogged nozzle can cause a pulsing
sensation during use. This generally is not a pump relat-
ed problem, but rather a clogged or partiallyrestricted
nozzle.
If the nozzle becomes clogged or partially restricted,
immediately clean the nozzle with the kit includedwith
your pressure washer by followingthese instructions:
Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply.
Separate the wand from the gun.
Rotate to stream setting.
Remove nozzle from the end of the wand using a
2mm or 5/64 allen wrench (like the one includedin the
kit).
Use the wire included in the kitor a small paper clip to
free the foreign materials cloggingor restrictingthe
nozzle.
Remove additionaldebris by back flushing water sup-
ply through wand. Back flush between 30 to 60 sec-
onds. Turn wand to stream spray and move nozzle
from low to high pressure while flushing.
!
• Reinstall nozzle into wand. DO NOT overtighten.
• Reconnect wand extension to spray gun.
• Reconnect the water supply, turn ON the water, and
start the engine.
• Test the pressure washer by operating with nozzle in
the high and the low pressure positions.
