WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals or charge in a sealed
container. Keep sparks and flame away. Do not use
metal tools for connections and keep metal objects away

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together can cause sparks, burns, or
a fire.

PUMP LUBRICATION
The pump on this product was lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you notice
any leaking of lubricant around the pump oil seals, take the
pressure washer to an qualified service center for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer
pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may dam-
age the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
USING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER CHARGER
See Figure 21.
When storing the pressure washer, connect the battery
maintainer charger to keep the battery fully charged and
ready for use.

The battery maintainer charger provided should only
be used with the 12V 4.5Ah/20HR sealed lead acid battery
model LPL 12-4.5 supplied with this pressure washer.
Plug the battery maintainer charger into a standard house-
hold 120V receptacle. Make sure the household power
supply is 120V, AC only, 60 Hz.
Disconnect the starter cable on the pressure washer from
the connection port on the battery.
Connect the battery maintainer charger to the connection
port on the battery. The light on the battery maintainer
charger will illuminate red while the battery is charging.
The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
