After Each Use - Troy-Bilt Pressure Washer Operator's Manual

Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service
dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals
(see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance
section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from
debris. See Clean Debris.
Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point spray gun
in a safe direction and squeeze trigger to relieve
trapped pressure, engage trigger lock on spray gun and
let engine cool.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.
2. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
3. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most liquid
in pump.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
5. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
