MAiNTENANCE

Using the nozzle cleaning tool provided, free any foreign
materials clogging or restricting the nozzle.

Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).

Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.

Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
To clean nozzles on cleaning deck:

Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. With the surface cleaner on the ground, pull trig-
ger to release water pressure.

Disconnect cleaning deck from pressure washer or spray
wand.
 Using a wrench (not provided), remove the nozzle from
the spray bar.
NOTE: Never point the spray bar at your face.
 Using the nozzle cleaning tool provided, free any foreign
materials clogging or restricting the nozzle.

Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
 Reconnect the nozzle to the spray bar and tighten se -
curely. After tightening, make sure the nozzle opening is
pointed in the same direction as the spray bar as shown
in figure 30.

Reconnect the cleaning deck to the spray wand or pres -
sure washer.

Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
CLEANiNg ThE AiR FiLTER
See Figure 31.
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of
performance, and shorten the life span of the engine. Check
the air filter monthly. For best performance, replace the air
filter at least once a year.

Push the tab on the air filter cover to open, then remove
the air filter cover.
 Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.

Lightly tap or blow out dirt particles from filter.
 Reinstall the air filter cover.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
STORiNg ThE PRESSURE wAShER
See Figure 32.
Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the
weather can’t damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses and the pump 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 Lubricant:
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant.
Spark Plug:

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant 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 necessary.

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.
handle Bar:
NOTE:
Before lowering the handle bar, disconnect the high
pressure water hose from the trigger handle outlet coupler.

To lower the handle bar for storage, remove the acorn
nut and knob.

Rotate handle bar forward to the next indentation in
handle spacer.

Retighten knob and acorn nut to secure.
PREPARiNg FOR USE AFTER STORAgE

Restore handle to operating position.
 Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean
lubricant from the combustion chamber.

Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant 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.
