Maintenance
Observe regular maintenance intervals
to ensure maximum performance and
life from the pressure washer. Refer to
the schedule for recommended mainte-
nance. If you operate the pressure
washer in dusty conditions, perform
maintenance checks more often.
ENGINE OIL CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS
Before tipping the
engine or equipment
to drain oil, drain fuel from the fuel tank.
NOTE
: Change oil while the engine is
cool.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from
the spark plug.
2. Locate and remove the engine oil
drain plug (see Figure 21).
3. Drain old oil.
4. Replace the drain plug and set the
unit upright.
5. Refill the unit with new oil of a rec-
ommended type and quantity. Fill
the unit to the proper level shown

7. Pull the starter rope several times until
the RV antifreeze comes out of the
pump outlet.

from the gun and drain the hose. Hold

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
1. Never operate the unit without water.
2. Your pressure washer is not meant to
pump hot water. Never connect your
pressure washer to a hot water supply
as it will significantly reduce the life of
the pump.

3. Running the unit for more than one
minute without spraying water causes
heat to build up in the pump. Running
the unit without spraying water can
damage pump components.
4. Release the trigger prior to switching
the lance between high and low pres-
sure. Failure to do so may reduce the
life of the o-rings in the lance.
