MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE OIL
See Figure 20.

Run engine out of gas. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down”
time.

�Place the pressure washer on blocks and put a container
under the pressure washer.

Remove th e oil drain plug and drain the old oil.
NOTE: Drain the oil while the engine is still warm but not
hot. Warm oil will drain quickly and more completely.
 Replace the oil drain plug.

Replace the oil with new, clean oil. This engine will hold
20 oz. (.6 liters) of oil (SAE 30).
NOTE:
Consult hazardous waste management guidelines in
your area for the proper way to dispose of used oil.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
We recommend having the pump oil changed every 100 hours
to ensure longer life of the machine. This service should be
performed by an authorized service center.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, the fuel tank, and the
detergent bucket before storing.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Engine Oil:
Drain the oil and replace with fresh, clean oil.
Spark Plug:

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
oil through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.

Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.

Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces-
sary.

Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Air Filter:

Clean the air filter.
Hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean oil
from the combustion chamber.

Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe oil from the
spark plug and return it to the cylinder.

Reconnect the spark plug wire.

Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s
manual.
