Maintenance

Storage

CAUTION: Always store your pressure washer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below 32°F
(0°C). The pump in this machine is susceptible to
permanent damage if frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE IS
NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
ATTENTION: Toujours entreposer la laveuse à
pression dans un endroit où la température ne sera
pas inférieure à 32°C (0 °F). La pompe sur cette
machine est susceptible de subir des dommages si
elle est exposée au gel. LES DOMMAGES DUS AU
GEL NE SONT PAS COUVERTS PAR LA GARANTIE
PRECAUCIÓN: Siempre almacene la hidrolavadora en
una ubicación donde la temperatura no llegue a ser
menor que 32ºF (0ºC). La bomba en esta máquina es
susceptible a daño irreversible si se congela. DAÑOS
POR CONGELAMIENTO NO ESTAN CUBIERTOS POR
GARANTÍA.
1. Stop the pressure washer, squeeze spray gun
trigger to release pressure.
2. Detach water supply hose and high pressure hose.
3. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until
remaining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.
4. Drain the gas and oil from the engine.
5. Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.
6. Store the machine and accessories in a room
which does not reach freezing temperatures.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the above directions will
result in damage to your pressure washer.
ATTENTION: Le non-respect des directives ci-dessus
entraînera des dommages à la laveuse à pression.
PRECAUCIÓN: No seguir las instrucciones anteriores
pueden resultar en daños de tu hidrolavadora.
When the pressure washer is not being operated or is
being stored for more than one month, follow these
instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel valve
and carburetor.
3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the
spark plug hole, pull the starter grip several times
and replace the plug. Then pull the starter grip
slowly until you feel increased pressure which
indicates the piston is on its compression stroke
and leave it in that position. This closes both the
intake and exhaust valves to prevent rusting of
cylinder.

4. Cover the pressure washer and store in a clean,
dry place that is well ventilated away from open
flame or sparks. NOTE: The use of a fuel additive,
such as STA-BIL
the formulation of fuel deposits during shortage.
Such additives may be added to the gasoline in the
fuel tank of the engine, or to the gasoline in a
storage container.

After Extended Storage

CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out any
possible ice from pressure washer hoses,
spray gun or wand.
ATTENTION: Avant de redémarrer, faire
fondre la glace se trouvant sur les boyaux, le pistolet
pulvérisateur ou la lance de la laveuse à pression.
PRECAUCIÓN: Antes de reiniciar, descongele
cualquier posible hielo en las mangueras, pistola
pulverizadora o lanza.

Engine Maintenance

During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions
may develop which will cause an icing condition in the
carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough,
lose power and may stall. This temporary condition can
be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air from the
engine over the carburetor area. NOTE: Refer to the
engine manufacturer's manual for service and mainte-
nance of the engine.
Preventative Maintenance
1. Check to see that the water pump is properly
lubricated.
2. Follow Winterizing Procedures to prevent freeze
damage to the pump and coils.
3. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
4. If water is known to be high in mineral content, use
a water softener in your water system or de-scale
as needed.
5. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through system.
6. Always use high grade quality Landa cleaning
products.
7. Never run pump dry for extended periods of time.
8. Use clean fuel-kerosene, No. 1 fuel oil or diesel.
Replace fuel filter every 100 hours of operation.
Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will seize up
