MAINTENANCE
When performing
maintenance, you
may be exposed to hot surfaces,
water pressure, or moving parts
that can cause serious injury or
death!
Before performing any maintenance
or repair, disconnect spark plug
wire, let engine cool and release
all water pressure. The engine
contains flammable fuel. DO NOT
smoke or work near open flames
while performing maintenance.
To ensure efficient operation and
longer life of your pressure washer,
a routine maintenance schedule
should be prepared and followed.
If the pressure washer is used in
unusual conditions, such as high-
temperatures or dusty conditions,
more frequent maintenance checks
will be required.
ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owners
Manual for the manufacturer's
recommendations for any and all
maintenance.
NOTE:
The frame is
equipped with an oil drain hole to help
make changing the engine oil easier.
PUMP
The oil in the high pressure pump was
designed to last the life of the pump.
If there is a problem with the pump
contact an Authorized Service Center.
NOZZLE CLEANING
If the nozzle becomes clogged
with foreign materials, such as dirt,
excessive pressure may develop. If
the nozzle becomes partially clogged

pulsate. Clean the nozzle immediately
using the nozzle kit supplied and the
following instructions:
1.
Shut off the pressure washer and
turn off the water supply.

relieve any water pressure.
