CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of
performance, and shorten the life span of the engine. Check
the air filter monthly. If working in dusty soil, clean the
air filter after each refueling. For best performance, replace
the air filter at least once a year.
To clean the air filter:
n Remove the cover (42).
n Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.
n Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
n Rinse and squeeze to dry.
n Put small amount of 30 wt. motor oil on the filter sponge.
Squeeze out the excess oil then reinstall the air filter.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
n Reinstall the cover.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
n Shut off the engine.
n Place a container (4) under the pressure washer.
n Remove the oil plug (46) and drain the old oil.
NOTE: Drain the oil while the engine is still warm but not
hot. Warm oil will drain quickly and more completely.
n Replace the oil plug.
n Replace the oil with new, clean oil. This engine will hold
0.6 litres of oil.
(Recommended 4-stroke engine oil: 10W30)
CHECKING A FOULED SPARK PLUG
n Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug electrode
using a plug cleaner or wire brush.
n Check electrode gap. The gap should be .6 mm-.7 mm.
Adjust the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side
electrode.
(Recommended spark plug: NGK BR-6HS; CHAMPION
RL86C.)
CLEANING FUEL CUP
n Inspect fuel cup (47) for water and dirt.
n If dirt or water is present, CLOSE THE FUEL VALVE and
remove the fuel cup. Using a wrench, grasp the square
on the bottom of the fuel cup and turn clockwise.
n After removing dirt and water, wash the fuel cup with
kerosene or petrol. Reinstall securely to prevent leak-
age.
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while
squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or
dirty nozzle.
n Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

n Remove the nozzle (11) from the spray wand.
NOTE: Never point the spray wand at your face.
n Using the nozzle cleaning tool (1) provided with this
product, free any foreign materials clogging or restricting
the nozzle.
n Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
n Reinstall the nozzle then reconnect the nozzle to the spray
wand.
n Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
REPLACING THE FUEL HOSE
Replace the fuel hose every 1,000 hours of use. If fuel leaks
from fuel hose, replace the hose immediately.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
We recommend having the pump oil changed every 100 hours
to ensure longer life of the machine. This service should be
performed by an authorized service center.
(Recommended pump oil: 1W40)
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, the fuel tank, and the
detergent bucket before storing.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored petrol can go stale
in 30 days.
Remove the drain screw from the carburetor float chamber
and discharge fuel.
Engine Oil:
Drain the oil and replace with fresh, clean oil.
Spark Plug:
Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
n
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-stroke
oil through the spark-plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
n
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
n
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces-
sary.
Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
n
disconnected.
Air Filter:
Clean the air filter.
n
Hoses, detergent bucket, and pump:
Flush the injection tube with clean water for 1 - 2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
