O–Ring Maintenance
Through the normal operation of your pressure washer,
o–rings, which keep the connections of the hoses and spray
gun tight and leak–free, may become worn or damaged.
An O–Ring Maintenance Kit is provided with your pressure
washer which includes replacement o-rings, rubber washer
and water inlet filter. Refer to the instruction sheet
provided in the kit to service your unit’s o-rings. Note that
not all of the parts in the kit will be used on your unit.
To remove a worn or damaged o–ring:
Use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath the
o-ring and pry it off.
Cleaning Chemical Injection Hose
If you used the chemical injection hose, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
1. Place the chemical injection hose in a bucket full of
clean water.
2. Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to the low pressure
position. Flush for 1-2 minutes.
3. Shut off the engine.
IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.
Pump Maintenance

occurs first.

cap between the high pressure outlet and garden hose
inlet (Figure 14).

approved container until it drips slowly from the pump.

empty the premeasured pump oil bottle into the same
opening (a small funnel may be helpful).
