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.

washer. These openings must be kept clean and
