• Wasmiddeltank: After each use with detergent, rinse the detergent tank thoroughly with clean water to prevent residue buildup.
• Waterinlaatfilter: Periodically inspect the water inlet filter for debris. Clean or replace if necessary to ensure proper water flow and prevent damage to the pump.
• Slang en aansluitingen: Check the high-pressure hose and all connections for leaks or damage before and after each use. Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Winterstalling: If storing the pressure washer in an area where temperatures may drop below freezing, it is crucial to drain all water from the pump and hoses to prevent damage. Run the unit without water until all water is expelled, or use a pump protector/antifreeze solution.
