Tilt the pressure washer on its side as shown. Drain lu-
bricant into approved container.
NOTE:
Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm
but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more
completely.
WARNING:
Do not change engine lubricant while it is hot. Accidental
contact with hot engine lubricant could result in serious
burns.
After the crankcase is completely drained, return the
pressure washer to an upright position.
Fill with lubricant following the instructions in
Adding/
Checking Engine Lubricant
earlier in this manual. For
amount of lubricant needed to refill, see
Product Specifi-
cations
earlier in this manual or the accompanying engine
manual, if applicable.
Before using the pressure washer, check to ensure that
no lubricant is leaking from the engine.
NOTE:
Consult hazardous waste management guidelines in
your area for the proper way to dispose of used lubricant.
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 a 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 damage
the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 22.
NOTE: Regular use of fuel stabilizer and pump protector
will give you better performance of the unit and increase
the life of the pump.
WARNING:
While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides
of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum of
30 minutes of “cool down” time before storage. Heat cre-
ated by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough
to ignite combustible objects.
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, the pump, and the soap tank
before storing.
MAINTENANCE
Drain the fuel tank completely by running the pressure
washer until the gas runs out. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
NOTE:
Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
Make sure the on/off switch is OFF
( O )
and fuel valve is
CLOSED.
Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTICE:
The use of a pump protector is required after each use
and before storing to prevent cold weather and seal
damage during storage. Failure to use pump protector
will void your warranty.
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in
Adding/Checking Engine Lubricant
in
the
Operation
section of this manual.
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 grip and rope
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.
Clean the air filter.
Extend the starter grip and rope rope to check its condi-
tion. If the rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately
by a qualified service center.
Remove all hoses. Coil the hoses and store as shown.
Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
Pull the starter grip and rope grip three or four times to
clean oil 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.
