Tip for the day, don't run it without water pressure supplied. (This means connect water hose, lines, turn the water on push all the air out of the hoses and pump). Running the pump dry will overheat it and will eventually ruin it. Another tip, don't leave cleaner fluid in the tank or internal lines, flush it out with water after use or it will eventually get hard and plug the up and won't dispense the soap/cleaner fluid if you leave in in there for few months before the next use.

I would also lube the connecting hose o-rings before each use, connecting them dry will eventually rip the o-rings and eventually get flat and not seal. Thank you, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
