Maintenance and Storage

After each use, clean the exterior of the pressure washer with a damp cloth. Remove any dirt or debris from the nozzles and filters. Ensure no water remains in the pump or hose during freezing temperatures.

2. Water Inlet Filter:

Regularly check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent blockages and ensure optimal performance. A clogged filter can reduce water flow and damage the pump.

Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free environment. Drain all water from the pump, hose, and accessories before storing, especially in cold climates, to prevent damage from freezing. Use the integrated hose reel for tidy storage of the high-pressure hose.
