Quick Answer

Cordless pressure washers are not supplied with a nozzle cleaning pin. To maintain the best performance, keep the nozzle clean and free from dirt or debris. If you use water from a lake, stream, or saltwater source, always flush the machine with clean fresh water as soon as possible after use.

Tip: Regular cleaning helps maintain water pressure and reduces the risk of blockages.


Is My Nozzle Cleaning Pin Missing?

No. Unlike many mains-powered pressure washers, cordless pressure washers are not supplied with a nozzle cleaning pin as standard.

This is normal and does not mean any parts are missing from your product.


How to Keep the Nozzle Clean

To maintain the best cleaning performance:

  • Inspect the nozzle regularly for dirt or debris
  • Rinse the nozzle with clean water after use
  • Remove any visible debris carefully using a suitable non-metallic tool if required
  • Avoid allowing dirt to dry inside the nozzle

Using Water from Natural Sources

If you use your cordless pressure washer with:

  • Saltwater
  • Lake water
  • River water
  • Stream water

It is important to flush the machine with clean fresh water as soon as possible after use.

This helps to:

  • Remove dirt and sediment
  • Reduce the risk of corrosion
  • Prevent blockages inside the pump and nozzle
  • Extend the life of your pressure washer


Important Maintenance Tips

  • Keep the nozzle clean to maintain consistent water pressure
  • Flush the machine with fresh water after using natural water sources
  • Do not leave saltwater or dirty water inside the pressure washer
  • Inspect the nozzle regularly for signs of wear or blockage

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Cordless pressure washers are not supplied with a nozzle cleaning pin as standard.

How do I keep the nozzle clean?

Inspect it regularly and rinse it with clean water after use. Remove any visible debris carefully if necessary.
