GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the pressure washer. See any Sears or
other qualified service dealer for service.
The 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 pressure washer as instructed in this manual
including proper storage as detailed in Storage.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
EMISSION CONTROL
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any non-
road engine repair establishment or individual. However,
to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work
must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the
Emissions Warranty.

PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE

Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from pressure
washer. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area
around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the pressure
washer. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
Pressure washer parts should be kept clean to reduce the
risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
