pump
Lubrication: To lubricate pump, use 30W non-detergent oil
for pump crankcase. Crankcase must be filled to center of
red dot on oil gauge found on the side of the pump, refer
to figure 9. During the break-in-period, make sure the
oil is changed after the first 40 hours of operation. After
that, replace oil every 3 months or 500 hours of operation,
whichever comes first.

oil burner
blower motor: Inspect the motor brushes for wear every
250 hours of operation and replace when 1/8" to 1/4"
brush material remains. do not allow the brushes to
wear out completely or motor damage will occur. Refer to
burner assembly. The motor bearings are permanently
lubricated and will not require any additional lubrication.
unloader valve
WARNING: The unloader valve on this pressure
washer has been factory set and sealed and is a
field nonadjustable part. Tampering with the factory
setting may cause personal injury and/or property
damage, and will void the manufacturer warranty. For
replacement refer to Pump Assembly.
burner fuel filter
Drain any water which has accumulated in fuel filter
and clean or replace filter element as needed. Refer to
burner assembly.
heating coil
coil descaling: In hard water areas, scale buildup within
the heating coil will occur. Scale deposits will decrease
the water temperature rise and may eventually clog the
heating coil. Contact your local service center when
descaling is needed.
coil desooting: Poor grades of fuel oil or inadequate
combustion air will cause heavy soot buildup on the
outside surface of the heating coil. These deposits will
insulate the coil. This will restrict the air flow through the
coil, further aggravating the soot buildup. Contact your
local service center when desooting is needed.
hour meter
This hour meter will monitor the total hours of operation of
the pressure washer to signal when routine maintenance
is required.
battery
Refer to battery manufacturer's literature for
recommended maintenance.
