GENERAL MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATIONS
The high pressure washer warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.
To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the high pressure washer as instructed in this
manual.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.
• All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual
should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug
and clean or replace the air filter and check the gun and
nozzle extension assembly for wear. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel–air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer.

Before Each Use

• Check engine oil level.
• Check water inlet screen for damage.
• Check high pressure hose for leaks.
• Check chemical injection tube and filter for damage.
• Check gun and nozzle extension assembly for leaks.
• Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.
