2. Clear the nozzle with a small rigid piece of wire such as a paper clip.
3. Flush the nozzle backwards with water.
4. Reconnect the wand to the gun.
Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on the spray gun. If the nozzle is still
plugged or partially plugged, repeat above instructions 1-4.
If the previous procedure does not clear the nozzle, replace with a new nozzle.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions may develope which will cause
an icing condition in the carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough, lose
power and may stall. This temporary condition can be overcome by deflecting some of the
hot air from the engine over the carburetor area.

PUMP STORAGE
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature is below 32° F,
you can minimize the chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
1. Shut off water supply and relieve pressure to the spray gun by depressing the trigger.
Disconnect the garden hose from the pressure washer, but leave the high pressure hose
connected.
2. Tip the unit on its side with the inlet connection pointing up.
3. Insert a small funnel (to prevent spilling) into the inlet and pour in approximately 1/4 cup
of antifreeze.
4. Disconnect spark plug wire.
5. Without connecting garden hose pull the recoil several times to criculate the antifreeze
in the pump system.
6. Disconnect spark plug wire.
Prior to starting, thaw out any possible ice from the pressure washer hoses, spray gun
and wand.

Maintenance
Another method of reducing risks of freeze damage is to drain your pressure washer as
follows:
1. Stop the pressure washer and detach supply hose and high pressure hose. Squeeze
the trigger of the discharge gun to drain all water from the wand and hose.
2. Restart the pressure washer and let it run briefly about 5 seconds) until water no
longer discharges from the high pressure outlet.
Engine Storage
When the pressure washer is not being used or is being stored for more than a month
follow these instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel valve and carburetor.
3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the sparkplug hole, pull the recoil
starter slowly until you feel increase pressure which indicates the piston is on its
compression stroke and leave it in the position. This closes both the intake and exhaust
valves to prevent the inside of the cylinder from rusting.
4. Cover the pressure washer and store in a clean, dry place that is well ventilated
away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent, will minimize
the formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
