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 pressure washer as instructed in this manual.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
• All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual
should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug
and clean or replace the air filter and check the spray gun
and nozzle extension for wear. A new spark plug and
clean air filter assure proper fuel–air mixture and help
your engine run better and last longer.
Before Each Use
• Unplug battery charger from unit.
• Check engine oil level.
• Check water inlet screen for damage.
• Check high pressure hose for leaks.
• Remove hose completely from reel before spraying.
• Check detergent siphon tube and filter for damage.
• Check spray gun and nozzle extension assembly for leaks.
• Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.

MAINTENANCE
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
DANGER!
Water spraying from a leak is capable
of injecting material into skin. Inspect hose 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 Chemical Injection Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent hose and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the pump’s barbed
fitting. Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the
filter or tube if either is damaged.
