GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
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 the pressure washer as instructed in this manual.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.
• All maintenance in this manual, the pump information
sheet, and the engine owner's manual should be made at
least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter and check the spray 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. Please
refer to your engine owner's manual for more details.
• If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure at
the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.
Before Each Use
• Check engine oil level.
• Check water inlet screen for damage.
• Check in-line filter for damage.
• Check high pressure hose for leaks.
• Check detergent siphoning tube and filter for damage.
• Check spray gun, nozzle extension, and spray tips for leaks.
• Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.

MAINTENANCE

Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.
Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube
If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
1.
Place chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full of
clean water.
2.
Attach black low pressure spray tip.
3.
Flush for 1-2 minutes.
4.
Shut off engine.
IMPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not
release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.
