GENERAL MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATIONS
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 the high pressure washer as instructed in this
manual.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner's
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter and check the gun and
adjustable nozzle extension assembly for wear. A new
spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.
Please refer to your engine owner's manual for more
details.

• Check water inlet screen for damage.
• Check in-line filter for damage.
• Check high pressure hose for leaks.

each time before using it. Never repair a high
pressure hose. Replace it with another hose that
exceeds the maximum pressure rating of your
pressure washer.

Check Detergent Siphoning Tube

Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
