• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original
parts.
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 dealer
clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule). Equally
important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See "Clean Debris" .
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped with a non-adjustable idle
mixture valve. Top speed has been set at the factory. If adjustment is required, see an
authorized service dealer.
CAUTION! Excessively high operating speeds could result in minor injury.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
• DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine
speed. Pressure washer supplies correct rated pressure and flow when running at
governed speed.
• DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.
AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in pressure washer 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 gun at a safety direction, release trigger
lock and squeeze trigger of spray gun to relieve trapped pressure and let engine cool.
WARNING! The high pressure stream of water that this pressure washer
produces could cut through skin and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water
is disconnected, which could result in serious injury.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is
pressurized.
ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, release trigger lock and squeeze trigger
of spray gun to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.
2. Disconnect hose from spray gun. Drain water from hose, gun, and wand. Use a rag
to wipe off the hose. Replace the hose please call at 1-833-818-4111.
3. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about 6 times. This should
remove most liquid in pump.
4. Fold the handle, see "Handle Position Adjustment" .
