GENERAL CHECK AND SETUP
Always refer to the operator’s manual delivered with the pressure washer for general checks and setup. Initial
observations should be taken when the pressure washer is received at your service center. In order to create a
proper record of repairs, the following should be checked before beginning service:
SAFETY AND SERVICE BULLETIN CHECK:
Safety
All potential hazardous conditions, including but not limited to, cracked fuel lines, cracked frames and/or electrical
issues, should be checked and recommended for repair if out of warranty. Out of warranty concerns should also
be noted and confirmed if customer will accept the repair.
Service Bulletin
Any service bulletins should be checked and defects described in the service bulletin corrected.
ENGINE LUBRICANT:
To add or check refer to the engine manufacturer’s documentation for more information:
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-clockwise.
Using 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30), add engine oil until the fluid level rises to the upper
portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
Replace the oil cap / dipstick and securely tighten.
PUMP LUBRICANT:
All pumps ship with oil already inside direct from the factory. There is no need to add oil unless this is a pump
maintenance issue.
Make a visual inspection of the pressure washer’s pump.
NOTE:
Before commencing with service, shut off drive and turn off water supply to pump. Relieve all dis-
charge line pressure by triggering wand or opening valve discharge line. After servicing is completed, turn
on water supply to pump, start drive, reset pressure regulating device and secondary valve, read system
pressure on the gauge at the pump head. Check for any leaks, vibration or pressure fluctuations and resume
operation.
ACCESSORIES:
A visual check of all delivered accessories should be made also during initial receipt. Damage caused by misuse,
neglect, accident, abuse, improper handling, freezing, normal wear and tear or non-compliance with operator’s
manual are not covered as previously indicated. Items like trigger wands, spray lances, nozzles or high pressure
hoses with failures right out of the box, should be replaced under warranty before delivering back to the customer.
