► Store the pressure washer indoors in a dry and secure
location, out of the reach of children and other

NOTICE

16.1 Cleaning the Pressure Washer
WARNING
Before carrying out any of the cleaning work specified in this
chapter @ 6, take certain measures to reduce the risk of
personal injury from unintended activation: switch off the
pressure washer and disconnect the unit from the power
supply. Relieve all system pressure by pulling the trigger
switch and lock the spray gun trigger.
To clean the pressure washer:
► Clean the pressure washer's polymer components,
couplings and connectors with a slightly dampened cloth.
Do not use abrasives or solvents that may damage the
pressure washer's polymer components.
► Do not use a pressure washer to clean the unit or
otherwise spray it with water or other liquids.
16.2 Cleaning the Nozzle and Spray Lance
A clogged high pressure nozzle can cause excessive
pressure to build in the pump. Clean the high-pressure
nozzle if it becomes clogged.
To clean the nozzle and spray lance:
► Rinse the nozzle and spray lance under running water and
dry them with a cloth.
► If the nozzle is blocked, use the cleaning needle to clear
the opening.
