CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
AFTER EACH USE
If cleaning agents have been mixed with the incoming
water, it is essential to flush the machine with clean
water after use.
If there is a danger of freezing anti
-
freeze should be
mixed with the flush water or the machine must be
completely drained.
After the final flush stop the machine. DO NOT allow
the machine to idle for more than 15 seconds. This is
particularly important when there is a danger of
freezing. Do not run for longer without water supply.
STORAGE
Store the washer in an upright position, preferably
drained of water if there is a danger of freezing (or fill
with anti
-
freeze).
PUMP CRANKCASE LUBRICATION
Proper pressure washer pump crankcase lubrication
will help extend the working life of the machine.
Follow these important guidelines. We recommend
keeping a simple service log book.
Change oil in pump after initial 50 hour run
-
in
period. (SAE 75W

Change pump oil every 3 months, use high
quality oil. (SAE 75W

Pump oil level can be checked with the
dip stick under the breather cap or by
viewing the oil sight gauge where
