Push in the two hooks while pulling the reel handle to release the handle.

Remove the handle from the reel.

Move the hose on the reel slightly downwards to expose one of the Torx screws.

Remove the 5 screws on the hose reel.

Remove the right side of the hose reel frame.

Remove the hose guide.

Pull the hose reel to the right to access the hose reel swivel.

Remove the U-pin securing the hose to the swivel.

Pull the hose out of the swivel.

Remove the left reel holder and the hose reel.

Remove water filter by unscrewing it counterclockwise.

Unscrew the six T25 screws from the back cabinet.

Push the front brace release button and pull the front cover off.

Unscrew the four T25 screws securing the motor/pump.

Release the Cable strain release form the back cabinet.

Carefully lift the motor/pump so that it is on an angle.

Use a flat screwdriver or a small knife to release the u-pin securing the internal hose to the pump outlet.

Pull the hose from the pump head.

Carefully lift out the motor/pump out of the rear cabinet.

Before pulling out the hose take a marker pen and make a line were the hose goes into the hose reel tube. Normally the easiest way to extract the old hose is by pulling it in the direction of the arrow. Keep feeding the hose trough the hose reel pipe as you pull.

Line up the new and old hose. Transfer the marking you did on the old hose to the new hose.

Fitting the new hose is usually easiest by feeding it trough the hose reel pipe from the top. Stop when you have 5-8cm distance between the bottom of the cabinet and the hose connector. Check the marking you did against the hose reel pipe and adjust if necessary.

Pry loose the U-pin and remove the 90-degree bend from the old hose and fit it on the new hose. Secure the bend by using the same U-pin you removed.

Carefully lower the motor/pump back into the pressure washer cabinet. With the motor/pump at an angle, reattach the internal high-pressure hose to the pump head.

Secure the hose using the U-pin. Some force may be required to properly secure the U-pin to the pump head.

Make sure that the internal high-pressure hose runs trough these two depressions in the back cabinet (red arrows). If you are unable to fit the motor/pump properly then lift it up and check that the internal hose is routed as indicated in this picture.

If the previous step was successful the motor/pump unit should now fit correctly in the back cabinet.

Reattach the power cable strain relief into the slot in back cabinet.

Secure the motor/pump unit using 4 T25 screws. Two screws on top of the motor cowling and two screws on the pump head cover.

Put the front cover back onto the pressure washer. A bit of work may be needed to get it to align perfectly with the back cabinet, take your time. Push the front brace release button to allow for a correct alignment of the brace. When you are happy with your alignment, raise the pressure washer to the upright position.

Secure the front cover with six T25 screws from the backside of the pressure washer.

Check that the filter cassette is clean and without damage.

Reattach the water filter to the water inlet.

Fit the hose to the left side hose reel holder as indicated in the pictures.

The end of the hose should reach approximately to the centre of the reel holder.

Connect the hose to the swivel in the hose reel.

Secure the hose with a U-pin.

Attach the hose guide to the left reel holder.

Put the two reel holders together over the reel tube.

Secure the left and right reel holder with 5 Torx screws.
