Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for longevity:

  • After each use: Drain water by tipping the unit, flush the detergent tank, and clean the body with a clean cloth and mild detergent.
  • Nozzles: Clean nozzles after every use using the nozzle tip cleaner to remove debris.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, frost-free room. Flush the unit with automotive antifreeze before long-term storage.

Troubleshooting

If the unit fails to start, check the power cord, outlet, and GFCI breaker. If the pressure varies, check the water supply for kinks, clean the water inlet filter, or clean the nozzle. If the unit stops suddenly, check the GFCI breaker.

Practical help
