STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE:
PUMP: If oil appears dirty or milky, change oil. See pump Data Plate for oil
type. Fill only to the center of the oil sight glass. Change Pump diaphragms
every 500 hours. Inspect check valves for spring fatigue and seat wear.
QUICK COUPLERS: There is an o-ring seal inside the female quick-coupler.
This o-ring will deteriorate or, if the unit is allowed to pump without the high
pressure hose attached, it may be blown out occasionally. Simply insert a
replacement o-ring to correct the leak. (New o-rings can be purchased from
your dealer.)
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT: To maintain peak performance of your
pressure washer, it may be necessary to adjust the belt tension on occasion.
Follow the procedure outlined below.
1. Remove the belt guard and loosen the two nuts on each side of the motor.
(Reference A) There are a total of 4 nuts.
2. Turn the cap screw (Reference B) clockwise until a 1/2 inch belt deflection
is noticed between the pulleys.
3. Tighten the motor nuts. (Reference A)
4. Put a straight edge across both pulleys to check belt alignment.
5. Replace the beltguard and tighten the fasteners securely.
