MAINTENANCE 23
Air Filter Maintenance:
1. Remove the Air Filter Cover and the
air filter(s) and check for dirt. Clean as
described below.
2. Cleaning:
• For paper filters: To prevent injury from
dust and debris, wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles, NIOSH-approved dust
mask/respirator, and heavy-duty work
gloves. In a well-ventilated area away
from bystanders, use pressurized air to
blow dust out of the filter. If this does not
get the filter clean, replace it.
• For foam filters: Wash the filter in warm
water and mild detergent several times.
Rinse. Squeeze out excess water and
allow it to dry completely. Soak the filter
in lightweight oil briefly, then squeeze out
the excess oil.
3. Install the cleaned filter(s). Secure the Air
Filter Cover before use.
Long-term Storage
When the equipment is to remain idle for
longer than 20 days, prepare the Engine for
storage as follows:
1. Cleaning. Wait for Engine to cool, then
clean Engine with dry cloth.
WARNING: Fire / Explosion
Hazard
Fuel and its vapors are
extremely flammable and
explosive which could cause burns, fire
or explosion resulting in death or serious
injury. Fill tank only in a well-ventilated
area away from ignition sources. If the
engine is hot from use, shut down and
wait for it to cool before adding fuel. Do
not smoke, or have open flame near
fuel, or area when refueling.
2. Fuel. Gasoline fuel can become stale
when stored over 30 days, which
will cause acid and gum deposits
to form in the fuel system or crucial
carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.
Draining gasoline is unnecessary if
the fuel stabilizer is used according to
the instructions that come with it. Run
Pressure Washer engine for a minimum
of five minutes, after stabilizer is added
to fuel, to allow it to circulate throughout
the engine. The engine and fuel can be
stored up to 24 months.
NOTICE:
Be sure to have the water
connected to the pump when running the
engine for any purpose.
Lubrication:
1. To protect against rust formation during
storage, oil the cylinder bore:
2. Change engine oil.
3. Clean out area around spark plug.
Remove spark plug and pour
approximately 1/2 oz (15 ml) of clean
engine oil into cylinder through spark.
4. Replace spark plug, but leave spark plug
cap disconnected.
5. Pull Starter Handle to distribute oil
in cylinder. Stop after one or two
revolutions when you feel the piston start
the compression stroke (when you start
to feel resistance).
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and cover tip of spark plug wire with
insulating tape and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with spark plug or
Pressure Washer frame.
WARNING: Fire / Electrical Shock
Unintentional sparking can
cause fire or electrical
shock. Failure to observe
this warning can cause severe property
damage, severe burns and even death.
