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.

 to 

insure the unit will not start while

ENGINE

Consult the Engine Owners Manual for 

the manufacturer's recommendations 

for any and all maintenance. 

NOTE:

 

The engine drain plug is located at the 

rear of the unit.

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.
