• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
CHECK AND CLEAN INLET SCREEN
Examine the screen on the pump’s water inlet. Clean it if the screen
is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
CHECK HIGH PRESSURE HOSES
The high pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear, kinking, or
abuse. Inspect the hoses each time before using them. Check for
cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, damage or movement
of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose
immediately.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST meet or exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.
CHECK DETERGENT SIPHONING TUBE
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if clogged. The
tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting. Examine the tube for
leaks or tears. Replace the filter or tube if either is damaged.

is secure. Test the trigger by pressing the trigger, it “springs back”
into place when you release it. Replace spray gun immediately if it
fails to "spring back".
