After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. If the detergent siphoning system was used, clean the
tube as described in Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped
pressure, and let engine cool.
WARNING
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.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle
about six times. This should remove most liquid in pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
6. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
