After Each Use - Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer Operator's Manual

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.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. Top speed has
been set at the factory. If adjustment is required, see an
authorized service dealer.
CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds could
result in minor injury.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
• DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to
increase engine speed. Pressure washer supplies correct rated
pressure and flow when running at governed speed.
• DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.

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 from pump by running pressure washer
for one to two minutes with a non-soap high flow
nozzle setting.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle
extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
4. Place the spray gun, nozzle extension, 7-in-1 nozzle and
high pressure hose on the accessory tray.
5. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most liquid
in pump.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
7. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could
cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in
death or serious injury.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they could ignite fuel vapors.
