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.

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. Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing the filter into
a pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.
2. 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.
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 hoses connected to pump, hose reel 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.

in pump.

explosive.
