ENGINE MAINTENANCE:
WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO HOT SURFACES, WATER
PRESSURE, MOVING PARTS, OR FIRE WHICH MAY RESULT IN DEATH. BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN
COMPLETELY AND RELEASE ALL WATER PRESSURE. THE ENGINE CONTAINS
FLAMMABLE FUEL. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR OPEN FLAMES WHILE
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
1. If the engine can not be started or starting is difficult, first check whether the
fuel system has fresh fuel and adequate oil level.
2. Secondly check the spark plug. Remove the spark plug cap, take out the
spark plug, clean any carbon deposits and adjust the plug gap to specified gap
and reassemble.
3. As well you should ensure that the inlet of the air filter and exhaust outlet
are clean. Maintain a clean air filter. Inspect regularly and clean or replace as
necessary.

Unfasten the butterfly nut, open the filter cover, and remove the filter

is reduced or the exhaust gas is no longer clear, replace the filter
element.
•
After mounting the filter core, cover the air filter housing and fasten
the butterfly nut.

Never start the Pressure Washer without the air filter element.
